Sister Caram says that Tucho is a "homosexual" - Tell us something we didn't know!

How did we miss this one?

I mean, not that we didn't know. 

Friend of Francis Says Tucho Is a Homosexual – Gloria.tv

As Christmas approaches Bergoglio once again makes a mess.

Taking his own advice to "hagan lio" - make a mess, Bishop of Rome Jorge Bergoglio has sanctioned the blessing of unrepentant people engaging in sodomy or has he? Well, yes and no. It depends on how you wish to interpret it. The Germans are elated. So is Jim Martin, he does not deserve the salutation of "Father." Bergoglio has led everyone to the cliff and now sits back to watch them jump off. 

Utterly demonic.

The media took the document and ran with it - that same-sex marriage is now being blest. It isn't, but then again, two men or women living in a sinful sexual relationship can be blest. 

See how this works?

From the Second Book of the Prophet Malachi:

And now, O priests, this command is for you. If you will not listen, if you will not lay it to heart to give glory to my name, says the Lord of hosts, then I will send the curse on you and I will curse your blessings; indeed I have already cursed them, because you do not lay it to heart. I will rebuke your offspring, and spread dung on your faces, the dung of your offerings, and I will put you out of my presence.

"Dung on your faces!" It won't be long.

Were you surprised? You shouldn't be. It was two years to the day, December 18, that Bergoglio and his minions issued new restrictions on the Church's traditional liturgy. December 18 is the ancient and now abolished Feast of the Expectation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Methinks this is no coincidence. All part of a diabolical plan. He takes delight in harassing and disturbing the faithful. He hates us. He has done this repeatedly. It is as if to quote from Home Alone, "Merry Christmas ya filthy animals."

I think you know which one is Francis.

 

Toronto priest, Neil Pereira, 33, arrested and charged for sexual crimes against a minor!

A Toronto priest on loan to the Diocese of Peterborough, Neil Pereira, 33, has been arrested and charged with sexual crimes against a minor. Prior to leaving for campus ministry at Trent University and Sir Sandford Fleming College. Ordained in June 2020 by Thomas No Mass For You Collins, Pereira was Associate Pastor at St. Isaac Jogues in Pickering.

Peterborough priest, Father Neil Pereira, was arrested for alleged sexual assault of a minor (thepeterboroughexaminer.com)

The man must be presumed innocent. Sources familiar don't believe he did anything inappropriate. Who really knows anymore?

See how long Neil keeps this up.

Not long! Good work, Neil. 

Last Vatican II Father outs himself

The last living bishop at Vatican II is dead.

I'll leave it at that.

MiL - Messainlatino.it: In morte di un vescovo rosso, anzi arcobaleno

MiL - Messainlatino.it: In death of a red bishop, indeed rainbow

The funeral of Bishop Emeritus Mons. Luigi Bettazzi, who died last Sunday at the age of 99, was celebrated by his current successor Mons. Edoardo Cerrato. Born in 1923, Mons. Bettazzi was the only Italian bishop still alive to have participated in the Second Vatican Council (he was consecrated bishop in 1963, as auxiliary of Bologna, becoming then ordinary of Ivrea in 1966). 

Last Italian exponent of Vatican II and perhaps also of that "Vatican III" dreamed of by those who already in the aftermath of the assembly was not yet satisfied with the earthquake of changes that took place in a few years. To the point that, even before the council ended, 42 bishops (Bettazzi was the only Italian) gathered at the Catacombs of Domitilla to sign a pact in the name of... "Church of the poor" (a slogan that has often ended up impoverishing the Church by reducing its message to mere social accompaniment). 

In his thirty-year episcopate of Eporedi and also in the long years that followed him as emeritus, Bettazzi remembers above all the letters to Berlinguer, the battle on the fiscal objection for military spending, the pacifist marches and finally the openings – in open support of the Prodi government – on the subject of Dico and various positions that have made the elderly prelate a (red) flag. 

In the cursus honorum of Mons. Bettazzi lacks nothing, including a rather fanciful exegesis in November 2022 in which the prelate admitted to "subverting the Church's conception of abortion," hypothesizing in summary that the embryo is not automatically a person, or at least not immediately (speeches that we have recently heard echoing at higher levels.). In short, it was undoubtedly a "prophetic" voice – whereas "prophetic" usually means "left-wing priest". Prophetic was, however, actually in the famous interview of February 2012 when he spoke of the possible resignation of Benedict XVI, then actually happened a year later. Benedict died, in a new interview in January 2023 he repeated the experiment announcing the resignation of Francis (who will live, will see). And even the remote "prophecy" of the catacombs has come true, but in the sense of impoverishing above all the action of the Church of its spiritual dimension and thus depriving the poor themselves. Also thanks to the contribution of "prophetic" voices like his.

A small detail of the funeral of Mons. Luigi Bettazzi: on the coffin the book of the Gospels and... the "flag of peace" (the one with the colors of the rainbow, not to be confused with the similar but not identical LGBT flag). Better still would be to call it a "pacifist" flag, to remember that ism that marks the difference with Christian peace that does not need flags. 

A symbol inevitably marked by a political connotation, typical of a certain left-wing movement – and also raised in certain parades where there is never a lack of someone animated by excessive non-violent zeal that leads him to smash cars and shop windows. A symbol, however, made its own, especially in the early 2000s, also by a part of the Catholic world to which the cross is no longer enough and ends up being "prey to easy enthusiasms and fashionable ideologies" (quoting Battisti). 

A "divisive" symbol, we would say, towards those who do not share those "easy enthusiasms and fashionable ideologies" and yet would be part of the flock entrusted to the rainbow clergy who, opening up to the "world", end up excluding rather than including, moreover, overturning the evangelical dictate: the good ... left. 

Let us pray to the Lord of the harvest to send us shepherds, not faction-leaders.

Hamilton Diocese OMI priest, Jarek Pachocki is a Christophobe and supports homeheresy!

Hey Jarek, you realize I can still you see you on a different browser when not logged in, right?

parishoffice@stpatrickshamilton.ca

stlawrencehamilton@hamiltondiocese.com

Douglas Crosby, OMI, was appointed Bishop of Hamilton in the Metropolitan See of Toronto in 2010. Over 35 years ago, he was pastor of St. Joseph's Ottawa on the campus of the University of Ottawa. The parish has long been a hot-bed of liberal dissent against the Faith. It was from this parish that the outrage was led to remove the fledgling Oratory of St. Philip Neri at St. Brigid's. A demonic scandal for the faithful. I know, I was there. 

Not long after he arrived in Hamilton he brought two OMI priests in from Labrador where he had been bishop. They were appointed as "co-pastors" of St. Lawrence and St. Patrick in Hamilton. This is what they were in Labrador. Contacts in Labrador at the time provided some information on what to expect.

Is it not bad enough that we have the assault from corporations and media and governments. Here it is from our own priests. Jarek Pachocki has made it clear what he is and what he thinks of us.

He will tremble in fear one day before the LORD whom he was to serve.

It won't be nice.

Pray for his repentance and conversion.

Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne and the children - hers and yours

For those readers visiting this blog from outside of Ontario, the provincial government here has introduced a new curriculum that will provide explicit sexual education to our children. Those in Ontario should be well familiar with it by now and if not, you had better get familiar with it, and now! 

I have written about it before on numerous occasions and the association between the Premier, Kathleen Wynne pictured on the left with her "partner" and the convicted child pornographer Benjamin Levin, a professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education and former Assistant Deputy Minister of Education in the Government of Ontario's Ministry of Education. Levin, who even tried to entice a mother to abuse her own child on camera for his filthy pursuits wrote this curriculum originally under the previous government. The topics for elementary children, including those in our Catholic schools include so-called same-sex marriage, multiple gender identity, oral copulation, masturbation, sodomy, and so on beginning in the first grade.

For all those Catholics and other Christians out there who voted a few months ago for the Liberal government in Ontario, what did you think was going to happen? If you are thinking about Justin Trudeau in the next federal election, think again.

Elections have consequences and you are now the victim, or should I say, your children will be the victims. Do you really want your little girl to come home one day and talk about fellatio over the pasta? How about your little boy coming home and telling you he is going to masturbate tonight because they learned it in school today.

Premier Wynne, herself a lesbian, has called parents opposed to the change in the curriculum "homophobic." Wynne was married with three children and invited her lesbian lover to move into the master bedroom while her husband ended up in the basement. The destruction of her own family is documented in a book in which she and they participated in; now it is playing out for yours as is quite clearly demonstrated at Henry Makow, Ph.D.

Did a lockdown sex party and priest charges and suicide lead to the resignation of the "Oratorian" Bishop of Hexham and Newcastle?

Just another day in the Ape of the Catholic Church. 

Is this why the Bishop of Hexham suddenly resigned a month ago? What did he know? Did he fail to act? Was he blackmailed? Maybe just getting out of the storm. What a coward.

After a visit from the police in April 2022 over historic accusations of sexual abuse, the priest in the article below hanged himself. Innocent people don't commit suicide. They fight to proclaim their innocence or they suffer false accusations as did Christ.

But worry not. The Vatican is investigating. Just like it is investigating the sodomite orgy that took place above the offices of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. How did that one go?

According to Francis, the Usus Antiquior of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the problem.

Move along, nothing to see here.

BERGOGLIO APPOINTS AVOWED ABORTION ADVOCATING ATHEIST TO PONTIFICAL ACADEMY FOR LIFE

Continuing the joke occurring under sodo art aficionado Paglia at the Pontifical Academy for Life (how's that for irony) Jorge Bergoglio has appointed an abortion advocating atheist, Marianna Muzzacato as a member.

We continue to endure silence from our bishops and cardinals about the heretical, evil and vindictive actions of the Bishop of Rome against the faith.

We are abandoned by derelict hirelings. Our only prayer can be, "May his days be shortened and another his bishopric take."

Bishops! Cardinals! How will you answer Christ for allowing this putrid regime to continue?

 

Rembert Weakland is dead.

God gave him many years. Hopefully, he used it properly, but taking an ovation for one's apology isn't a good sign.

God's justice will be done.

Sticky Stika's Outing

 

We've written before about Rick Stika. The result was being blocked by Stika on social media. Something about those priests such as Rosica and bishops such as Stika who spend so much time on social media and attacking faithful Catholics. 

You can read more here: Vox Cantoris: Bishop Rick Stika

Kudos to Christine Niles at Church Militant Media for this documented exposure of Stika and those connected with him, including John Paull II Secretary, Stanislaw Dziwisz. Similar to alleged pervert Angelo Sodano, we can now see that the sodomite infiltration achieved the highest levels.

About the joint review of Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace’s international partner organizations

Montreal, March 22, 2021.– On 25 February 2021, a joint press release from the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace (CCODP) and the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) announced that, after a review of 63 D&P partners, 24 of them would no longer receive funding from CCODP, while 19 others would not be renewed. This follows the announcement months earlier of changes made to the organisation’s governance and partner selection process.  

The Jesuits of Canada have been privileged to collaborate with the CCODP in furthering the social mission of the Church and look forward to many more years of the same. Over its long history, CCODP has accompanied people working for social change in the Global South, often making the difference between life and death for people who are marginalized.  

We are deeply saddened to learn that so many CCODP partners are losing this vital support from CCODP. We regret that the process to arrive to this decision was not marked by the transparency and collaboration that the Church knows are key virtues to witnessing to the Good News and to becoming a synodal Church.    

This process has harmed the reputation of some people and organizations, many supported by the local Church, who often risk their lives to defend poor and marginalized people.  The impact of this decision may have widespread and long-term consequences for partner organizations in the Global South, threatening their very existence. This would represent a profound loss of the prophetic witness of the Church.   

It appears that a review was undertaken with the purpose of judging the partners on their adherence to the Church’s teachings on sexual matters.  We believe,  however that the partners should be viewed with gratitude for their demonstrated and consistent commitment to the core richness of the Church’s social teachings. If consulted, lay people and the Religious of Canada, many of whom have worked in the Global South and who personally know many of these organizations and their contexts, could have provided more accurate information on the partners under review.  

We also acknowledge with gratitude and hope the many signs of openness to international solidarity that we see emerging among the people of God in Canada. These seem to be signs of the Spirit at work. Along with the rest of the Church, we are being called to healing and transformation, especially with our brothers and sisters in the Global South. We wish to work with groups like CCODP in order to be transformed for the Kingdom of God.

Raymond Arroyo interviews Carlo Maria Viganò

 

https://www.ewtn.com/tv/shows/world-over

Raymond Arroyo: Here to respond to the report, we’re pleased to be joined by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, who joins us via phone. Your Excellency, thank you for being here. The report claims you did not come forward. That’s the quote to present evidence for this Vatican inquiry. Were you asked to provide information for this McCarrick report? Did anyone reach out to you? 

Archbishop Viganò: I am surprised to discover that a report in which I am mentioned 306 times accuses me of not having presented myself to testify in this Vatican inquiry of Theodore McCarrick. But according to the norm of the canon law, the calling of witnesses is the responsibility of the one who is in charge of the process. 

Raymond Arroyo: So, Archbishop, they never reached out to you then to ask you to contribute to the report, to interview you? 

Archbishop Viganò: Yes, it is completely incomprehensible and anomalous that it was not considered opportune to call upon me to testify, but even more disturbing that this deliberate omission was then used against me. Let it not be said to me that I have made myself untouchable, because the secretary of state has my personal email address, which is still alive and never has been changed. 

Furthermore, it is also significant to me that James Grein — the only victim of McCarrick’s sexual molestation who had the courage to denounce him publicly — does not appear in the report and that there is no trace of his testimony, in which he would also have reported the trip he made with McCarrick to St. Gallen at the end of the 1950s. 

Raymond Arroyo: Hmm, interesting. 

Archbishop Viganò: From public statements of James Grein, it is clear that the beginning of McCarrick’s climb — he was then a young, newly ordained priest — coincided with that visit to Switzerland, to a monastery that was later the site of the meeting of the conspirator of the so-called “Saint Gallen Mafia.” And according to the declaration deceased Cardinal Godfried Danneels, that group of prelates decided to support the election of Bergoglio, both after the death of John Paul II as well as during the conclave that followed the controversial resignation of Benedict XVI. 

Then Cardinal McCarrick admitted to having supported the election of Cardinal Bergoglio at the beginning of the general congregations prior to the conclave that had been held a few months earlier. 

I wonder what sort of reliability a judicial body can have that had such an obvious conflict of interest due to its past relationship with the accused. 

How can [Pope] Bergoglio, and the Secretariat of State that depends on him, pretend to appear impartial when McCarrick went to the Vatican with an abnormal frequency? When, in June 2013, he was tasked with making that diplomatic trip to China? And how can one not think that their repeated attempts to cover up and denial of their responsibility, are the cause of the systematic effort to discredit me as a witness in order not to bring to light their complicity in circumstances that exist between them and the guys themselves?

Raymond Arroyo: Your Excellency, the Pope, according to the report, maintains that you did not inform him of McCarrick's activities or restrictions on McCarrick in June of 2013. The Pope was certain that you as nuncio “never told him that McCarrick had committed crimes against any person, whether adult or minor, or described McCarrick as a serial predator.” Your response? 

Archbishop Viganò: This statement is absolutely false. First of all, it was Bergoglio himself, on June 23, 2013, who explicitly asked me my opinion of McCarrick. As I testify in my 2018 memoir, I answer him with complete frankness: “Holy Father, I don't know if you know Cardinal McCarrick, but if you ask the Congregation for Bishops, there is a dossier this thick about him. The corrupt generation of seminarians and priest and Pope Benedict ordered him to withdraw to a life of prayer and penance.” 

The Pope did not make the slightest comment about those very grave words of mine and did not show any expression of surprise on his face, as if he had already known the matter for some time and he immediately change the subject. But then, what was the purpose in asking me that question: “What is Cardinal McCarrick like?” He clearly wanted to find out if I was an ally of McCarrick or not, of course. It should be noted that I had learned from McCarrick himself that Bergoglio had received him four days before my audience on the 23rd of June and that Bergoglio had authorized him to go to China. 

What was then the point of asking me for an opinion when Bergoglio already had McCarrick in the highest esteem? And in May 2014, I learned from The Washington Times of a tweet made by McCarrick to the Central African Republic on behalf of the Department of State. 

Beginning in 2008, Benedict XVI had ordered the American cardinal to retire to a private life, not to celebrate or attend public events. For this reason, I asked, I wrote to Cardinal Parolin, if the sanction against McCarrick was still to be considered valid? That I had received no response whatsoever.

Raymond Arroyo: And Your Excellency, you saw the report says there’s no documentation of this. They don’t have documentation, so therefore they dispute it. You would say what to that? 

Archbishop Viganò: Yes, I didn’t… I was not able to go all along the 400 pages in all the documents, but, you know, it’s interesting that they didn’t produce, in order to cover up also Cardinal Parolin, who didn’t answer to me. And from the report, I learned that McCarrick’s continued assignment and travels abroad were considered — this is stated in the report — they were considered by Archbishop Wuerl (Cardinal Wuerl) and even by Nuncio Sambi “as a sufficient form of removal” between quotation. That amazes me. 

So the report continues, and I quote: “the indications were not ‘sanctions;’ they were not imposed by Pope Benedict XVI; McCarrick was never forbidden to celebrate Mass in public; McCarrick was not prohibited from giving lectures; Cardinal Re did not impose on McCarrick ‘the obligation’ of dedicating himself to a life of prayer and penance; and McCarrick remained free to conduct activities, including travel, with the permission of the Holy See, including the Nuncio,” as they stated. So, it means that despite the cardinal’s reprehensible conduct the Holy See did not consider it appropriate to take disciplinary measure against McCarrick, which confirms my demonstration of the corruption of the Curia. 

Raymond Arroyo: Your Excellency, the report goes to great pains to paint you as somehow lax in investigating the claims of Priest 3 in 2012. Now the Vatican says you brought the concerns of this priest, who claimed he was abused by McCarrick, you brought those concerns to the Holy See, to Cardinal Ouellette, who instructed you to investigate them, but then he claims he never heard back from you. Did you avoid placing yourself, as the report says, “in a position to ascertain the credibility of Priest 3?” They said you never contacted the priest, the vicar general of Metuchen or the bishop as instructed. Your reaction?

Archbishop Viganò: It is obvious what my role was in bringing McCarrick’s scandal to light. And that I have always taken steps to report any information that came into my possession to the Holy See. I recall that we are talking about 2012, when I had just been appointed nuncio to the United States. 

In the report I am accused, as you’ve said, of not having followed up on the request for information regarding the accusation made by Priest 3 — do not mention his name. This is absolutely false. It is the writers of the report themselves who provide the evidence of the deception they had concocted in order to strike and discredit me. In fact, in another place of the same report, it says that on June 13, 2013, I wrote to Cardinal Ouellette, sending him both the letter that Bishop Bootkoski had written to me as well as the letters he sent to Priest 3. I informed him that the civil case of Priest 3 had been dismissed without the possibility of appeal. And Bishop Bootkoski, of Metuchen, characterized the accusations of Priest 3 as false and slanderous. 

I would like to emphasize one aspect in particular: Those who accuse me of not having sent a written communication to Bishop Bootkoski, the ordinary of the Priest 3 and bishop of Metuchen, know very well that this depends on the precise direction of the Secretariat of State. 

They know equally well, as the report confirms, that there was a telephone communication between Bishop Bootkoski and me, about which I in turn informed Cardinal Wuerl. 

It should not be forgotten that in those years there were lawyers who were not content to bring dioceses to judgment for crimes committed by priests, but who wanted to demonstrate that the Holy See itself — like the headquarters of a multinational company — held the ultimate responsibility for giving compensation to victims of molestation. The lawyer, Jeffrey Lena, who probably has worked very hard for this report.

Raymond Arroyo: This is fascinating and we’ll have to… I wish we had more time to explore this, but I do recall reading that reference that you make to the communication with Cardinal Wuerl, but I didn’t connect the two, and I imagine most people reading the report wouldn’t either. But that makes sense. There is a footnote, Your Excellency, that repeats your testimony, where you maintain in 2006 and 2008 you asked your superiors “to intervene as soon as possible by removing the cardinal's hat and reducing McCarrick to the lay state” in the full memorandum that they published. They claim you added, “if the allegations are true and proven.” Now, the report attempts to use this to undermine your testimony as some are maintaining. Your response to that? Does this in any way undermine your testimony that you qualified the penalty by saying, “if the accusations are proven true?” 

Archbishop Viganò: Well, the accusation that were brought to my attention, and previously to my predecessors, they proved that there was a number of seminarians that were well known that had denounced the abuses of Cardinal McCarrick. So for that, when I wrote in my report for 2006 and 2008 to my superior, the secretary of state, I have no doubt, no doubt that there was the case to proceed immediately after, of course, a due procedure, that was a corresponding to the authority of the Pope himself to take very strong, exemplary measures against Cardinal McCarrick. In fact, what I suggested in 2006 and 2008 has been accomplished. Ten years later, or more, 11 years later. So that was proof that my judgment was absolutely correct on the situation.

Raymond Arroyo: Your Excellency, before I let you go, I’d like your reflections on the report placing the lion’s share of the blame for McCarrick’s rise in the Church at the feet of John Paul II and Benedict XVI. And when you read the report, as I did, it’s clear that there was a network of bishops here that remain unnamed who protected McCarrick, either through patronage or personal contacts — or perhaps they were fellow travelers, but this network seems to be firmly in place. 

Archbishop Viganò: Yes, I mean, the intentions of the ones who drafted the report are clear: to pass off responsibility for the promotion of McCarrick to his predecessors. One of whom is deceased and canonized (John Paul II) and the other is so old and weak (Benedict XVI). The former cannot defend himself from the grave. 

The disturbing thing is that, within the report itself, obviously put together by many hands, there are numerous contradictions. Enough to make the argument the report has little credibility. I wonder then who convinced John Paul II and then Benedict XVI not to take into account the serious accusations against McCarrick? Who had an interest in getting McCarrick promoted so that they could gain an advantage in terms of power and money? Someone probably made John Paul II believe that the accusations against McCarrick were fabricated following the model of the skeleton operation that communist Poland had already carried out against good bishops and priests who oppose the regime. 

In the case of John Paul II, the main party interested in the promotion of McCarrick was definitely Cardinal Sodano. He was secretary of state until September 2006. All information came to him. In November 2000, he already had received information from Nuncio Montalvo for this report of the accusation of grave abuse committed by McCarrick. Let us not forget that in this period, the scandal of Father Maciel broke out, which Sodano sought to cover up by falsifying a statement of Benedict XVI. 

I was present to that in which it was said that the pope considered the case closed. Benedict XVI called a plenary session of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and Cardinal Arinze, who was a member of that congregation at that time, succeeded in having Maciel condemned despite the opposition of the secretary of state. And after that, the name of Cardinal Sodano also appears in connection to a scandalous real estate speculation in the United States. 

With regard to Benedict XVI, they want to have very direct access to the Pope where the secretary of state, Bertone, and the substitute Sandri were able to control and filter information about McCarrick and exert pressure on the Holy Father. 

Regarding the situation of Pope Benedict, the report speaks for itself. The one — and it is stated in the report — the one who presented the question directly, of McCarrick, directly to Pope Benedict XVI, was Cardinal Bertone. Who, contrary to what I have repeatedly proposed — namely, that the very grave and detailed accusations against McCarrick required an exemplary canonical process leading to his removal from the cardinal college and his reduction to the lay state — led Pope Benedict to decide that no canonical process should be undertaken, nor should any canonical sanctions be proscribed, but that instead, and I quote, “a simple appeal to McCarrick’s conscience and ecclesial spirit” would be made. 

And here yet another flagrant contradiction appears evident. How is it possible to reconcile a simple appeal to conscience with a form of instruction that was given both to the Nuncio Sambi and to me, according to which McCarrick could not reside in the seminary where he was living, could not participate in public activities, could not travel and had to lead a retired life of prayer and penance? 

Raymond Arroyo: Mm-hmm. 

Archbishop Viganò: The corruption at the highest level of the Vatican is so evident that it may want to consider the report as an unworthy attempt to make Bergoglio appear absolutely alien to the manipulation of the Curia — indeed, as a sort of implacable persecutor of the corrupt, while the evidence of the facts demonstrated the opposite. 

Yes, I would like to also to note that the fact of blaming John Paul II for the appointment of McCarrick, despite the negative opinion of the Congregation for Bishops and its Prefect Cardinal Re, could be applied also to Jorge Bergoglio himself. About whom the Superior General of the Jesuits expressed strong reservatiosn. If Wojtyla made a mistake with McCarrick, and for this reason is considered implicitly responsible for the scandals that occurred, what happened? What prevented this judgment from also being extended to the promotion of Bergoglio as Bishop of Buenos Aires and then as a cardinal?

Let us remember that in the consistory of 2001 — and this is something really very suspicious — in addition to McCarrick and Bergoglio, other leading members of the Saint Gallen Mafia received the red hat. 

Raymond Arroyo: Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, we thank you for being here tonight and for your insights into this report, which are quite unique, and you had a front row seat to so much of what we’re seeing unfold. I thank you for being here. I hope you’ll come back again. 

Archbishop Viganò: Thank you very much, Raymond. I’m very pleased to be part of your program. Thank you.

Hey VeraCity - where have you been for all these years?

Perhaps City News will answer these questions publicly on the Facebook "support" page or perhaps they will not. If they do not, then one must ask about their motivation.

Full disclosure: I spent a year of hell at the age of 13 being physically assaulted by Basilian priests and a lay man wannabee Basilian in a Toronto High School. I fought back and had the personality to defend oneself. It could have been worse. I was a lucky one. I also went after the wretched Congregation of St. Basil fifteen years ago with a formal complaint. It is also on file with the Archdiocese of Toronto. It is inconceivable that the various leaders of the Church in Toronto did not know about the decades long abuse by Basilians and others. 

The blog post story below is a bit curious. It deals with old cases resolved in courts and perpetrators long outed here at Vox Cantoris or at Toronto Catholic Witness. All, but two of the perps are dead and judged by God.

Let's see if the good reporters at VeraCity (sounds like they're late to the party, eh? Spotlight dealt with this). answer my questions on Facebook. Frankly, they should be embarrassed for neglecting the story for so long. Don't get me wrong. None of this should be covered up, I'm just disgusted that they've ignored this for so long!

They also do not deal with the issue. Of the 14, 13 went after boys. This is a homosexual predator problem and infestation.

The real question though is this. What did Pocock, Carter, Ambrozic and Collins know and when did they know it?

Still not approved...
