Vox Cantoris: Looking back to a past Shrove Tuesday

Looking back to a past Shrove Tuesday

It was Shrove Tuesday, which fell a few weeks earlier than this year in 2015, a decade ago. I was sitting with a colleague at lunch when an email came across the Blackberry: "Letter to Domet." What is this? I exclaimed. A letter from the prominent Toronto law firm of Fogler Rubinoff and a well-known solicitor within the Italian community named Nina Perfetto. I was being sued by Thomas J. Rosica, a Basilian priest and Executive Producer of Salt + Light Television, Vatican apparatchik, Francis minion and all-around annoying bully to anyone in his path. Within hours of the upload of the interview below, the internet went wild. Emails from all over the world, offers of financial support for the lawsuit, messages through third parties from Cardinals and Bishops in Rome and Europe, but not a thing from mine in Toronto. It was an explosion! Even the law firm was taken to task by readers around the world so much that the "pro-bono" lawsuit was quickly no longer. Fogler Rubinoff met its nightmare.

Tom Rosica, now suspended, shamed and taken down by his own actions as a serial plagiarist, (first exposed by this writer) and found to have been coming out of a "gay" bathhouse in Toronto and eventually being sued by another priest for alleged "sexual assault" finally held to some form of account.

But I did it first.

Happy Anniversary, Tom!

YOUR BLOGGER VOX CANTORIS IS THREATENED WITH A LAWSUIT BY VATICAN OFFICIAL AND PAPAL ADVISER - FATHER THOMAS ROSICA, CSB

On Shrove Tuesday, February 17, 2015, I received a letter from Nina Perfetto, a Litigation Solicitor with one of Toronto's most expensive law firms, Fogler Rubinoff. The threat of a lawsuit was from Father Thomas J. Rosica, a Basilian priest, Executive Producer of Salt + Light Television, Consultor to the Pontifical Council on Social Communications, English-language Synod spokesman for the Holy See and member of various academic institutional Boards.

A few weeks later, after incredible international pressure and bad publicity, intervention by Cardinals of the Holy Catholic Church, letters, and other pressures, he dropped the lawsuit, saying, " It was never intended" and that the lawyer was working "pro-bono."
