Pope Francis Accused of Using Homophobic Slur | TIME

What would Jim Martin say?

What was that? Something about Hell?

 Recall the words of St. Padre Pio, paraphrased.

"You don't believe in Hell? You will when you get there!"

Bergoglio meets with his commanders

While the Bishop of Rome is the Head of State of the Vatican City State, the perverted William Jefferson Clinton is a private citizen and no longer a Head of State. There was no obligation for Bergoglio to meet him. So, was he bringing him into the Church? Preaching him of the salvation of Jesus Christ through the Catholic Church? They exchanged gifts, so this was clearly set up.

Who do we have here? Why, it's Alexander Soros. When that self-hating Jew, globalist Marxist George Soros is dead and dust we will have his progeny to tell us all what to do and to run our politicians.

Why were they there? 

Bergoglio is playing us.

He will be dead soon.

Stay faithful.

God wins.

Archbishop Kiss Me With Your Mouth in charge of doctrine!

The kiss me with your mouth Argentine theologian Archbishop Víctor Manuel Fernández is the new prefect of the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith.

The Pope is unwell.

Not much more can be said about this travesty.

Keep your mind and heart on Jesus. The rest is a clown show.

“The pope goes slow because he wants to be sure that the changes have a deep impact. The slow pace is necessary to ensure the effectiveness of the changes. He knows there are those hoping that the next pope will turn everything back around. If you go slowly it’s more difficult to turn things back. . . You have to realize that he is aiming at reform that is irreversible. If one day he should intuit that he’s running out of time and doesn’t have enough time to do what the Spirit is asking him, you can be sure he will speed up.” –Tucho Fernandez

And thus, Bergoglio's time is very, very short and this filthy degenerate will be around after him.

Bergoglio answers phone at general audience - get's played!

Good satire. It had me fooled!

It's not the first time that Pope Francis took a phone call during a general audience in a
display of rudeness, narcissism, and personalism. I mean, what could be so important? Well, James Martin, of course. Must have been more plotting on the sodomic church of Bergoglio Well, if the man has any self-awareness, let this be a lesson for him not to be so rude to his guests. But I doubt it.

Read on and enjoy the schadenfreude:

Put an End to the Madness! - Crisis Magazine

"Unlike everyone else who witnessed the Holy Father taking a phone call in the middle of a General Audience in St. Peter’s Square the other day, I was not the least bit surprised. And why should I be, since I was the one who made the call?

No sooner had I dialed the number than I was put immediately through to the pope, who seemed quite delighted to hear from me. For about five seconds, that is, no doubt thinking I was the Reverend James Martin, whom I had instructed the switchboard operator at the Vatican to inform the pope was on the other line. 

And until things fell apart, which happened fairly quickly, I was hoping for a productive exchange. Once he realized he’d been snookered, however, he abruptly hung up, leaving me to imagine the number of heads likely to roll on the floor of the Vatican switchboard."

I wonder what happened to the switchboard operator?

Ten years later: the Bergoglian Scandal of subservience to Communist China!

It has been an outright betrayal not only of the real, underground Church in China and the suffering people, but all of the lao baixing. 

Francis has literally signed a deal with the devil.

Masonic Lodge praises election of Jorge Bergoglio "Nothing will be the same again"

It was ten years ago today. Has there been even a day of peace for Catholics? I knew nothing of Jorge Bergoglio but when he came out on the loggia, I had chills and wanted to vomit, it went on for hours. There was a reason. 

"Nothing will be the same again." When the enemy tells you what they're going to do, believe them.

Grand Orient Masonic Lodge of Italy - Martini, McCarrick and how nothing would be the same again

Oh we have so much we could write but instead, I'll just give you these pictures and links to a couple of other sites and a search for you to find it all. I have written previously of the comment, "nothing will be the same again" as stated by the Grande Oriente d'Italia upon the election of Pope Francis. The Masonic Press Agency was publicising it as well and leave most of it for you to find and spread to all the Catholic world.

So let us see, we have a powerful man telling this Cardinal that said that Jorge Bergoglio can change it in five years and one that could potentially be blackmailed to make it so and talk him up and then when it all happens the Lodge issues a statement that "nothing will be the same."

Oh, one more thing; they failed in 2005 when Joseph Ratzinger was elected as Pope. Martini was their man and when they couldn't get him elected they drove the gentle Pope from his office. 

You can figure the rest out.

So be it.

Is Francis really coming to Canada?

Is Francis really coming to Canada? He is scheduled to arrive next week to engage in a farce of apology to the native people of Canada. He has recently cancelled a trip to Africa and that was not the first. The Canadian bishops and Vatican clowns have pagan imagery in the logo and a phrase just reeking of ableism, "walking together" as the theme, clearly excluding those in wheelchairs. That, no doubt, will be the next apology.

Briefly, graves were discovered on the grounds of some residential schools. Graves, in what were cemeteries. Not "mass graves" as in one open pit NAZI or Pol Pot or Stalin style. The children died of many things, influenza, Diphtheria, pneumonia and many other diseases. There is not one piece of evidence that any of these poor children were murdered. It is all a lie. Were some physically or sexually abused? No doubt, some. This happened in all boarding schools. None of it should ever have happened in Catholic schools. One was too many. The residential schools were official Canadian government policy. They wanted the natives off their lands for resources, railroads and farmers from Ukraine. The "Crown," the Government of Canada, broke every Treaty it ever signed. All Christian religious denominations in Canada, along with the Catholic Church, took government money -- all of them took children from their homes, families, and communities and took them at the government's orders to their boarding schools. That, particularly for the Catholic Church in Canada, was a crime against them and the Faith. There can be no debate about this. It was wrong, the Bishops should never have done it. Children always have a right to be at home with their parents, the Church and State never have a right to remove them unless they are in obvious physical or emotional harm and culture and language and history do not equate. But, it was done by all at the coercive hand of the Crown.

The Church in Canada had every obligation in the name of Christ to convert the natives and bring them to Christ. This should have been done by living amongst them as did St. Jean de Brebeuf and his companions, not removing them from their homes.  

As for an apology, the Canadian government already did it as did Pope Benedict XVI and the Canadian bishops. This new action is a political show to force an official apology directly from the Pope in order to set up each diocese in Canada for a massive lawsuit due to the collective guilt they have accepted and the apology they will give. That is what this is about. The Canadian bishops are fools for inviting Bergoglio. Any Catholic who gives one penny for this visit or reparations is an equal fool. Justin Trudeau has already granted $30,000,000.00 for the visit of our tax money. 

The texts of the Masses and Vespers have been seen by this writer. They are the basic Novus Ordo Mass texts for the day. Nothing odd. However, as expected, a smudging ceremony will be undertaken in Edmonton. A pagan ceremony will be used to "purify" a Catholic Church and Bergoglio.

As with his worship of Pachamama which unleashed a horror on the world, do not expect anything good to come from the worship of false idols and false religion by the one who walks in the "Shoes of the Fisherman," or goes along with a ceremony of Smudging to purify a the Temple of God. What utter blasphemy from a blasphemous nation and Pope.

But I return to my original question. Will Papa Hagan Lio actually make the trip or will he cancel at the last minute leaving Canada's Catholic bishops holding the bag? And speaking of a bag, just what kind of bag is it? Is it a Prada? A Ferragamo? A Louis Vuitton? 

Delirious Dichotomy - the profound liturgical wisdom of Francis

 An Apostolic Letter was issued in Rome today by Pope Francis. A Jesuit has commented formally on the liturgy. The last time I was at Mass celebrated by a Jesuit, everything had changed but the bread and wine. In Toronto, we are blest to have a Jesuit pastored parish, Our Lady of Lourdes.

The document urges proper liturgical formation. I can agree with that.

 

Let's see. Pope Francis would like proper liturgical formation.

Can we begin with Sacrosanctam Concilium?

Chirograph on Sacred Music?

Redemptionis Sacramentum?

How about the General Instruction on the Roman Missal?

Please, spare me, Jorge.

As for this, your "intention" will mean nothing. Nor, will you live long enough. Your attempt to tear the Church apart over this will fail. You will not stop It. Who thought at Easter or a year ago or a decade ago that we would see Roe vs. Wade collapse so quickly? The same will happen to the false church dwelling within the Bride of Christ. 

For more information, Father Zuhlsdorf has explored the shallow depths of the mind of Francis and his ghostwriters.

Pope Francis to Consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

 From Vatican News:

Pope to consecrate Russia and Ukraine to Immaculate Heart of Mary

The consecration of Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary by Pope Francis will take place during the Celebration of Penance on 25 March in St Peter's Basilica.

By Vatican News

Pope Francis will consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on Friday, 25 March, during the Celebration of Penance that he will preside over at 5pm in St Peter's Basilica.

The Director of the Holy See Press Office, Matteo Bruni, said in a statement: “The same act, on the same day, will be performed in Fatima by Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, papal almoner,” who is being sent there by the Pope.

The day of the Feast of the Annunciation of the Lord was chosen for the consecration.

Martyrdom of the good

In the apparition of 13 July 1917, in Fatima, Our Lady had asked for the consecration of Russia to Her Immaculate Heart, stating that if this request were not granted, Russia would spread "its errors throughout the world, promoting wars and persecution of the Church.”

“The good," she added, "will be martyred; the Holy Father will have much to suffer, various nations will be destroyed."

Consecrations of Russia to Mary

After the Fatima apparitions, there were various acts of consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Pope Pius XII, on 31 October 1942, consecrated the whole world, and on 7 July 1952 he consecrated the peoples of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in the Apostolic Letter Sacro vergente anno:

“Just as a few years ago we consecrated the whole world to the Immaculate Heart of the Virgin Mother of God, so now, in a most special way, we consecrate all the peoples of Russia to the same Immaculate Heart. - Pope Pius XII”

On 21 November 1964, Pope St Paul VI renewed the consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart in the presence of the Fathers of the Second Vatican Council.

Pope St. John Paul II composed a prayer for what he called an 'Act of Entrustment' to be celebrated in the Basilica of St Mary Major on 7 June 1981, the Solemnity of Pentecost.

In June 2000, the Holy See revealed the third part of the secret of Fatima.

At the time, the then-Archbishop Tarcisio Bertone, Secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, pointed out that Sister Lucia, in a letter of 1989, had personally confirmed that this solemn and universal act of consecration corresponded to what Our Lady wanted: "Yes, it was done," wrote the visionary, "just as Our Lady had asked, on 25 March 1984".

Ukrainian Archbishop Calls for Worldwide Novena Ahead of Pope Francis' Consecration of Russia and Ukraine

BREAKING NEWS! Francis Says He Will Consecrate Russia… to the Immaculate Heart. | The Fatima Center is the headline at The Fatima Centre. I am certainly no expert and I try to keep these things simple, so here is my take.

1.     All of this is in the realm of private revelation, one need not believe it. Revelation ended with St. John. At the same time, the Church has clearly determined that certain private revelations are worthy of belief including Our Lady's apparitions at La Salette, Lourdes and Fatima and lesser-known but equally important ones such as Quito, Akita and Kibeho amongst others. If we have churches and schools and feast days to St. Bernadette and Our Lady of Fatima, then clearly, there is something to this. We can choose not to believe it, but we cannot choose to mock it!

2.    If this is true and if Our Lady asked for Russia to be consecrated to her Immaculate Heart, we need to ask the question: Was this done? It has also been said that in order to be valid it must be done at the same time throughout the world by every bishop in union with the Pope.  If this were true, then why did none of the Popes that undertook some kind of "consecration," Pius XII, Paul VI and John Paul II, command it? It would take a Papal Bull with the pain of excommunication for disobedience to enforce it because if one bishop did not comply, it would be invalid. Now, I would ask this, would Our Lady attach such conditions? Conditions that would be so minute as to make it invalid? Conditions that would cause so much schism?

3.    If it were done according to the experts, why would it need to be done again? Clearly, it was not done in 1942 by Pius XII in the manner allegedly requested by Our Lady or the results would have been obvious - the Second World War would have ended in 1942, not 1945, the spread of communism would have been stopped and Eastern Europe would never have been under the Warsaw Pact, the takeover by Mao in China which took place seven years later, would also not have occurred. Presumably, there would have been no nuclear attack on Japan because peace would have reigned in 1942 and broken out everywhere. The Korean War would not have been. Nor would Vietnam. Cuba would not be communist.

4.    Paul VI "renewed" it. Yet, it was still not done as we saw communism topple Vietnam, El Salvador, Nicaragua and countries throughout the world, particularly in Asia and Africa and more recently, Venezuela.

5.    Russia continued to spread its "errors," and we, in the Christian West have adopted cultural Marxism, radical atheism, statism and globalism. We have accepted as our own, Russia's errors. Clearly, either it was not done, or the whole matter was a fraud from the beginning.

6.    John Paul II attempted it but did not do it fully. Many believe it was accepted because Lucia said so. Yet, we can ask without conspiracy theories, was this the same Lucia? The pictures seem to defy it. How can "heaven" have accepted it, as she said It did if it did not contain the original requirements which she said were necessary in the first place. Was she wrong in 1929 or when she said she wasn't? When did Our Lady change her mind?

7.    Some say that the fall of the Berlin Wall and the other factors of the early 1990's is evidence that John Paul II did it. Even the Ukrainian Archbishop in the article above thinks it was done. Archbishop Mokrzycki told CNA that:

“Our Lady of Fatima in 1917 said that the consecration would be followed by a time of peace. That time of peace is over now, so we need to repeat the act of consecration of Russia and Ukraine.” 

Peace? What peace? There has been no peace since the Consecration of the World by John Paul II. Frankly, this is a myopic, Euro-centric view of peace. From the period after 1981, I count 91 wars and the deaths of 4,559,652 people not including the current Ukraine-Russian conflict. This, is peace? What has Mokrzycki been using as incense? If we add to this the war on the unborn, the war on the poor, the war on morality, it is quite clear that there is no peace, there has been no peace. God is God of all nations, not just European! If the Consecration was done, then there would have been no war in Rwanda, Yemen, the Falklands, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Ethiopia, Chechnya, the infamous Balkans. Are we seeing more clearly, now?

Let us be clear. No Pope has done it. Or, it is all a fraud. It is really just that simple.

Now, some believe that Francis is not Pope, that the Pope remains Benedict XVI and that any consecration by Francis without Benedict XVI being there to do it, would be invalid. We won't debate that here. You, dear reader, already know the arguments but suffice to say, there are powerful arguments for both sides on whether Benedict remains Pope. My own view is this. I don't know. I cannot know for sure. The Law says Jorge Bergoglio is Pope, the priests of Rome accept him as their bishop and the Bishop of Rome is Pope. Keep it simple. God will and is handling the details. We can only know what we can know. Therefore, we must assume the good and it is this. Francis is Pope, he intends to consecrate Russia and Ukraine (no debate on this not just being Russia, Ukraine was Russia in 1917 and 1929 and thereafter). We must be in union on this. Why? Let me quote the great Gamaliel in Acts 5: 38-39 

“And now, therefore, I say to you, refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this council or this work be of men, it will come to nought; But if it be of God, you cannot overthrow it, lest perhaps you be found even to fight against God. And they consented to him.”

I will not argue with Pope Francis on this. I will not argue with God.

Francis calls on predator clergy to turn themselves in to "human justice" but why should we believe that this will do anything?

In the annual Christmas address and greetings to Cardinal and other Vatican officials, Pope Francis has called upon priests and clergy who have abused children to turn themselves over to civil authorities and to prepare for their own divine judgement. He continued by expressing his "heartfelt thanks" to journalists, and presumable bloggers, who "sought to unmask these predators and give voice to the victims." 

Francis chose to quote from St. Matthew, "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea." The picture below was taken by this writer recently at a historical mill just north of Toronto. It is a fitting reminder for these damnable perverts. 

Yet, it is Catholic bloggers such as this writer, Michael Voris, Michael Matt, Michael Hichborn, Louie Verrecchio and writers and researchers and lawyers such as Elizabeth Yore and Randy Engel who have been testifying and proclaiming from the ramparts for years, and all of us have been ignored or relegated as "divisive" or "hysterical" or "uncharitable" or having "messiah complexes." 

Now, even after he mocked the victims in Chile and then affirmed one in his homosexuality expects the Catholic faithful to believe that he is serious.

Surely, we can support him when he calls upon these perverts, these malefactors and wretched predators to turn themselves over to civil authorities. Surely, we can support him when he calls upon them to prepare for "divine judgement." But what he has said is not enough, it does not go near far enough and it does not deal with the source of the problem. 

Pope Francis specifically refers to those priests who abused minors, a horrendous crime against God and man, against the spiritual and physical. Yet, the abuse of minors is only on the radar because it is, of course, "illegal." But while every one of these predators must be punished, must be tried in courts and defrocked from the priesthood, Francis is leaving something out.

While some victims were girls and women, the overwhelming majority of victims were young boys and teenagers. This tells us that it is a problem of sodomites in the priesthood. But the abuse of children is only part of the problem. The ongoing sexually perverse corruption of homosexuality in the priesthood and episcopacy is the source of the problem. It is fair to say that a sodomitical act between two consenting priests or a priest and layman or seminarian is not under civil law, "illegal." But it is under God's law. It is under all the moral law. 

Where is the action on the  part of Pope Francis to remove from the clerical state any priest, bishop or cardinal who has engaged in sodomitical acts with anyone? Where is the commitment to rid the clergy of all men who or so inclined and the absolute refusal to ever ordain one?

Do not be fooled. This is deflection and spin.

It is nowhere near enough.

Pope Francis is an enemy of the people of Europe and North America

My grandparents came from Lebanon, my wife, born in South Africa. When they came to Canada, they did it through the established laws.

What we are witnessing from the Middle East and Africa to Europe and from Central America and Mexico to the United States and even to here in Canada is nothing more than an invasion. It is not legitimate immigration, these are mostly not legitimate refugees. 

The international law on refugees is clear. When one reaches a safe haven that nation is responsible. Therefore, Turkey or Mexico as examples.

Europe and North America are under attack. 

In a recent talk to the General Chapter of the Scalabrini Congregation, Bishop of Rome Bergoglio addressed one of his favourite topics, migration. 

Clearly, this man is an enemy of the nation-state.

" I was a foreigner". This word made me "noise" when you said it ... It's easier to welcome a stranger than to be welcomed, and you have to do both. You must teach, help welcome the stranger, and give all the possibilities to the nations that have everything or enough to use these four words that you have said. How to welcome a foreigner. The Word of God strikes me so much: already in the Old Testament it underlines this: to welcome the stranger, "because you remember that you have been a stranger". It is true that today there is a wave of closure towards the foreigner, and there are also many situations of trafficking of foreign people: the foreigner is exploited. I am a child of migrants, and I remember in the post-war period - I was a boy of 10/12 years - when, where Dad worked, the Poles arrived to work, all migrants; and how well they were welcomed. Argentina has this experience of welcoming because there was work and it was also needed. And Argentina - for my experience - is a cocktail of migratory waves, you know it better than me. Because migrants build a country; how they built Europe. Because Europe was not born this way, Europe has been made by many waves of migration over the centuries.

Once you used a bad word: "well-being". But wellbeing is suicidal, because it leads you to two things. To close the doors, so that they do not disturb you: only those people who serve for my well-being can enter. And on the other hand, for well-being, do not be fruitful. And today we have this drama: a demographic winter and a closing of doors. This must help us to understand this problem a bit about receiving the stranger: yes, he is a stranger, he is not one of us, he is one who comes from outside. But how do you welcome someone who is a stranger? And this is the work you do and help you do: to form consciences to do it well. And I thank you for this.

But there is the other dimension. We are not the masters who say: "Ah, you, if you are foreigners, come". No. We are foreigners too. And if we do not try to be welcomed by people, those who are migrants and those who are not, another part is missing in our conscience: we will become the "masters", the masters of immigration, those who know more of migrations. No. You need to have this experience in your religious experience: to be you too migrants, at least cultural migrants. This is why I have always liked, in your training itinerary, the fact of making the students turn around: doing theology here, the philosophy there ..., so that they can learn about different cultures. Being a foreigner. And this is very important. From the experience of having been a foreigner, for studies or for destinations, the knowledge of how a foreigner is welcomed grows.

These two things, these two directions are very important, and you have to do them well. This is the first thing I wanted to say.

She also used another word: to pray . The migrant prays. Pray because you need so many things. And pray in his own way, but pray. A danger for all of us, men and women of the Church, but for you more, for your vocation, it would not need prayer. "Yes, yes, I think, I study, I do, but I do not know how to beg, I can not ask to be welcomed by the Lord as I am also migrant to the Lord". This is why I liked it when he spoke of prayer: prayer that is so often boring, or brings anguish to you. But stand before the Lord and knock on the door, as the migrant does, knocking on the door. How did that "migrant" in Israel - the Syro-Phoenician woman - who also managed to discuss with the Lord (cf. Mt.15,21-28). Knock at the door of prayer. To be migrants in the experience of migration, as you do in destinations, and to be migrants in prayer, knocking on the door to be received by the Lord: this is a very important help.

And another phenomenon of migrants - let's think of the caravan that goes from Honduras to the United States - is to pile up . The migrant usually tries to go in groups. Sometimes it has to go alone, but it is normal to pile up, because we feel stronger in migration. And there is the community. In football there is the possibility of a "free", that can move according to the opportunities, but from you there is no possibility, the "free" from you fail. Always the community. Always in the community, because your vocation is precisely for migrants who pile up. Feel migrants. Feel, yes, migrants facing needs, migrants before the Lord, migrants among you. And for this the need to pile up.

These three things came to my mind while you spoke. These ideas that maybe can help you. Thank you for everything you do. You are an example. And you are also brave, because you often go beyond the limits, you risk. And risking is also a characteristic of the migrant. It risks. He also risks life sometimes. And this is something that helps: brave, they can risk. The prudence in you has another shade compared to the prudence of a cloistered monk: they are different prudences. Both virtues, but with different colorings. To risk.

There is still some time. I do not know if anyone wants to ask a few questions to enrich the meeting. Come on!

EWTN removes The World Over video of interview with Bishop Martin Holley - Did Wuerl who allegedly made "racist statements" put pressure on Bergoglio to remove him?

To the moron who mocked me, I am responsible for writing this article based upon the facts. The video was taken down.

I tweeted this post to Raymond Arroyo and had a response that it could be seen at: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=fZ1BBUcqaaM

Father Z reports it back on in pieces. 

http://wdtprs.com/blog/2018/11/urgent-must-watch-arroyo-with-removed-bishopmdholley-and-superb-synod2018-analysis/#comments

If you don't like what I report, go away.


This past week's The World Over with Raymond Arroyo has been removed from YouTube by EWTN. The interview includes the "Papal Posse" of Arroyo, Father Gerald K. Murray and Robert Royal. I have not viewed the whole episode but fortunately, it resides on my PVR.

The other good news is that the portion which includes the interview with Bishop Martin Holley has been copied and is on Gloria TV which will not bullied.

Bishop Holley has still had no explanation for his removal but hints that racism is part of it.

There is much more to this story. Bishop Holley states that he believes that "it could be an act of revenge." 

In 2012, Bishop Holley as Auxiliary of Washington was asked by Pope Benedict XVI to give his opinion on Donald Wuerl's suitability as Vatican Secretary of State. Holley states, "we have had our moments" about Donald Wuerl and referred to certain "racist statements" by Wuerl.

This is more coverup by Wuerl and Bergoglio.

If anyone has the whole program, please write me and post it.

Pope Francis' cover up of sexual perversion and sodomitical rape in Argentina.

This image of Bergoglio has made the rounds, often showing up in feeds or memes. It is as if he is saying, "no, not me." Now, we know from where it comes, a confrontation in St. Peter's Square with German filmmakers asking his covering up for abuse in Argentina in one specific case. The excerpt is below, the whole film, in German, can be viewed through the link at LifeSiteNews.

Thank you Dear Reader: You can generate English subtitles. Open the settings (gear) icon which is right next to "YouTube" on the bottom right just below screen. Go to Subtitles/CC. Choose German (auto generated). German is checked but right below you can now select auto-translate which will give you a long list of languages, including of course, English.

The full film needs to be subtitled and widely distributed. 

Here are the decisive 12 minutes about Bergoglio and Argentina.

The case concerns one Judas Priest pervert, Julio César Grassi, but there are more as the witnesses testify and as they confirm that Bergoglio ignored their please and their letters. This follows on the reports by Marco Tosatti, since removed but captured elsewhere, of a clear case of cover-up and accusations by the victim's mother.

The time for action is long since passed. The fetid swamp of homosexual infiltration in the Holy Catholic Church must be exposed. 

Jorge Mario Bergoglio is a malefactor, a wretched man who from the very beginning to aid form perverts (McCarrick) and their protectors (Danneels) and surrounded himself with them, (Ricca) and that was the first two days! 

From the insults emanating from his mouth to blasphemies to heresies such as Amoris Laetitia and to the cover-up of this filth of homosexuality and abuse, Bergoglio has proven that he is not on the side of Christ or you and me but on that of his "god of surprises."

Now, we see have his minions such as Coccopalmerio, a man whose secretary is an active homosexual and was caught in a cocaine-fueled orgy in a Vatican apartment, musing about a suspension for Carlo Maria Viganò.

These men are evil. The pressure must be maintained, they must get the message that we are in this fight, we are not abandoning our Lord and His Church, our Mother to them, and that we will expose them and out them without ceasing.

Every. 

Single. 

The war on Viganò has entered a new stage and the Catholic and secular media are defending child rapists

The Vatican's war to discredit and denigrate Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has gone into overdrive.

It is as far from Our Lord Jesus Christ as you can get.

Each one of them, Bergoglio, Spadaro, Rosica who brags that the Vatican has "begun a pushback," Paglia, Martin and their lay sycophants Faggioli, Ivereigh - all of them will be held accountable before God for the coverup and the way they have treated Viganò.

The secular and Catholic media have joined in the smear campaign. People such as Cindy Wooten, Sean Michael Winters, and others (name them in the combox and I will add here), have all lost their souls. They are not journalists, they are not looking for the truth. They are sycophants and by their actions, they are equally guilty in the cover-up.

They have turned this away from the truth, away from the victims.

What happened to the truth?

Viganò has "sold himself for 30 pieces of silver" but McCarrick is a "tragic figure."

A tragic figure? The man is a sodomite, a pervert, a predator, a Judas priest. He is not a tragic figure

Pope Francis is a monster. He called out the rabid dogs on the aeroplane journey from Ireland. Don't you see it? Bergoglio cards not about you or me. He cares not about the victims. He has protected sodomites from the first of his pontificate. He is evil, a fraud, a filthy child pervert protector. He brought Danneels into his inner circle, promoted an active sodomite, Battista Ricca, kissed the hands of those promoting sodomy, brought back priests who were rapists, and cursed victims of clerical abuse.

How can these men not be beating their backs with whips and wearing hair-shirts over this calamity? These monsters have seized control of the Bride of Christ, they have set up a false religion and a perversion in the place of truth. These are not men of faith.

Where are the rest of the bishops and cardinals who know the truth? Will none who know come out and defend Viganò? Will none tell what they know? Are they all sodomites? Are they all blackmailed?

But as we heard in yesterday's Epistle for the XVth Sunday after Pentecost, "God is not mocked."

All of these will fall, There defence shows that they are actually in panic mode. They know that they have been found out. They will get mean, they will get violent and stop at nothing, but they will make mistakes. 

These men are devils, every one of them. 

They will not win. 

Okay George, we agree that those who covered up abuse by sexual deviants are "shit" but what are you going to do about it?

The "Holy Father." The Vicar of Christ on Earth whom St. Catherine of Sienna called the "sweet Christ," has once again shown his potty mouth and preoccupation with human excrement.

On two occasions previously, Pope Bergoglio has referred to certain people as "fomenters of coprophagia," literally people who eat human excrement. 

“The pope said the cover-up of abuse in the Vatican was ‘caca’. The translator interpreted it as ‘filth you would see in the toilet’.”

https://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/pope-tells-survivors-that-those-who-cover-up-abuse-are-s-t-1.3607936?mode=amp

For once I agree with Jorge Bergoglio even with his foul mouth. After all, I've no golden tongue.

Inquiring minds are asking though, George, now that you know that the Church is full of shit, what are you going to do about it?

I note that your homosexualist Irish American Cardinal Farrell has the bowl cleaner at hand.

Father James Haley - A priest persecuted for exposing the filth in the priesthood

Vox Cantoris has been banned from posting on Twitter until August 9, 
please Tweet my posts.

This post was originally published on March 16, 2015. It is timly to repeat it.

This post has nearly 4,500 direct hits and still receives comments. People obviously search for Father Haley on the Internet and end up here. Perhaps he will read this post or those who know him will read it. Perhaps it will be a means for people to reach out and assist him. Perhaps it may encourage him to fight again and expose those who covered up the filth.

The history of abuse is primarily a homosexual problem. The erudite such as Marie Collins and those behind the John Jay Report and the secular and most Catholic media will not admit this. 

Every bishop that covered up this filth must be outed. Priests and former priests and even existing seminarians must come forward.

Father James Haley, Bishop Loverde and the Boy's Club - a story retold

March 16, 2015.

Please pray for Father Haley. I've been in touch with someone that knows him. His faith has been shaken and he needs to know that Catholics care what happened to him and are praying for him!

A recent post on the persecution of priests lead to a comment about Father James Haley, formerly of the Diocese of Arlington. I had not heard of this case prior until now. I have heard today from someone who knows Father Haley; he is still "suspended" and has been shaken by this ordeal. He is living in a trailer near a nursing home where his elderly father resides. He picks up odd jobs where he can to support himself. 

Let us pray for him and that God will bring justice to him and restore his priesthood to him and bring good out of this evil.

All of us need to understand the intricate connections of what is happening now with the Synod and those who manipulate and undertake machinations, including what Edward Pentin called on Saturday, a stacking of the deck." The roots of the last October's Relatio by Archbishop Bruno Forte with the full knowledge of the Bishop of Rome as confirmed by the Secretary of State run deep. One can only recall the admission of Bella Dodd and conclude that we are living in the School of Darkness.

I am sure that John Vennari at Catholic Family News won't mind this reprint from the Daily Catholic where permission was once given for its publication.  What struck me was that one of the priests which Fr. Haley had complained about to Bishop Loverde was later removed because his collection of pornography was discovered.

Originally posted at The Daily Catholic the Editor's notes include: We have received the gracious permission of John Vennari, editor of Catholic Family News to reprint various articles that have appeared in his publication that would be of interest to our readers.

Bishop Paul Stephen Loverde turns seventy-five in September and will submit his resignation to the Bishop of Rome. This story was covered significantly in its day. It is a story worth retelling lest any of us think that the infiltration into the heart of the Church is not well-established and very, very deep. Let us pray that his successor in Arlington will bring justice to Father Haley and the have the courage to do what needs to be done there. The article below does not make for easy reading, but it is necessary reading to further highlight the struggle that we are in to preserve our own faith and protect our families and to fight for our Holy Mother, the Church.

Father Haley and "The Boys Club" 

by Mark Fellows

For years governments have had laws protecting whistle-blowers, These laws shield from retaliation those employees who come forward with evidence of illegal or immoral practices within their agency. The case of Father James Haley makes it evident that the Catholic Church in America offers no similar protection to its priests.

Father Haley, a priest in the diocese of Arlington, Virginia, has been permanently suspended by Bishop Paul Loverde for testifying in a legal deposition about the immoral practices of his fellow diocesan clergy. In a formal notice to Haley, given on October 28, 2002, Bishop Loverde stated that Haley was guilty of violating an order for him not to publicize priestly wrongdoing in order "to avoid scandal, to maintain ecclesiastical discipline and to protect the reputation and privacy of both the faithful and priests of this diocese." 1. As quoted in The Washington Times, November 13, 2002.]

In fact Father Haley never went public with any of his incriminating information. For years he went privately to Bishop Loverde, not just with his complaints, but with indisputable evidence of clergy immorality in his diocese. Bishop Loverde's reference to Haley "publicizing priestly wrongdoing" concerns deposition testimony given by Father Haley pursuant to a law suit brought against Bishop Loverde and his diocese by a parishioner, James Lambert. The suit alleged diocesan negligence in failing to remove an obviously unfit priest who had given public scandal for years. 2. The lawsuit was eventually dismissed for failing to comply with the statute of limitations.

After failing to get a judge to keep the contents of the deposition sealed, the Arlington diocese claimed Haley was not legally required to give testimony, but did so voluntarily. This, according to Bishop Loverde, meant that Haley had violated a "no talk" rule the Bishop imposed upon him a year previously. But the deposition, which is reproduced in its entirely on the Roman Catholic Faithful website, 3. See www.rcf.org. In addition, Father Haley's attorney, Greg Murphy, has sent me a copy of the original subpoena requiring Father Haley to testify. Although the Arlington diocese publicly maintains Haley was not subpoenaed, in their legal efforts to seal his deposition testimony diocesan lawyers admitted that Father Haley was testifying "in response to this subpoena." Letter to Bishop Loverde, from Greg Murphy, Esq., January 3, 2003, p. 5. clearly reveals that Father Haley was subpoenaed. 4. Deposition of Father James Haley, conducted by Gregory L. Murphy, Esq., on July 24, 2002, pursuant to the civil lawsuit Lambert v. Bishop Paul Loverde and the Diocese of Arlington, p. 4. (Hereinafter cited as "Deposition, p. __"). This means he was legally required to answer questions under oath about certain priests and practices in his diocese. Consequently, even if one considers deposition testimony "publicizing", Haley did not do so voluntarily. Since Haley was legally and morally obligated to tell the truth, Bishop Loverde's treatment of Haley strikes many as retaliation.

The Outsider

Although Father Haley has been silenced, his story is told in his deposition testimony. Here we learn that James Raymond Haley was ordained a Roman Catholic priest in 1987 at St. Thomas More Church in Arlington, Virginia. "Homosexuality within the priesthood is something that I did not know about when I was ordained," the forty-six year old Father Haley testified, "but from my very first assignment at Saint Mark's (in Vienna, Virginia) became more and more aware of." Haley "started to see associations between those who were exhibiting homosexual behaviors and friendships." Homosexual priests supported each other, and adopted "a defensive attitude towards anyone who might threaten them." 5. Deposition Testimony, p. 139

Haley was also troubled by what he heard about the homosexual priest network in the confessional, but the list of priests he could confide in was getting shorter. One of his seminary classmates was also a priest in the Arlington diocese. He told Haley about entering the rectory at St. Mary's and finding his pastor having anal intercourse with the maintenance man, and the time he visited another parish where the priest had an eighteen year relationship with another homosexual man. Haley's former classmate complained to the diocese, became depressed when they did nothing, and left the priesthood. 6. Deposition, p. 146.

Determined not to leave the priesthood, Haley sought out Bishop John R. Keating, then bishop of the Arlington diocese. Over the course of many meetings Haley recounted to Keating "a whole list and litany" of homosexual activity in the diocesan clergy. Like the "extraordinarily gay-looking masseuse" who regularly came to the rectory to give closed door massages to Haley's pastor. Or the event that occurred a week after Haley began his first parish assignment. There was a knock on the back door. A man asked for Haley's associate, calling him by his first name. Haley knocked on the pastor's door. The priest, expecting his friend, surprised Haley by answering the door naked. Haley told him a man was downstairs, and the priest said, "Send him up." 7. Deposition, pp. 141-142.

Bishop Keating confirmed Haley's alarm over the homosexual network in the Church. According to Keating the problem went higher. "He indicated a problem existed even among the bishops and cardinals, naming some that surprised me," Haley testified. 8. Deposition, p. 140. Although he was sympathetic, in the end Keating was no help. According to Haley, Keating said "he could not do anything about homosexual priests or their activities." 9. Ibid

Haley was stunned to learn that  "A bishop would knowingly ordain a homosexual man…I thought that they would want to know that a man or a seminarian or a priest was homosexual. And they couldn't care less, so I started to feel like the outsider, like maybe I was the unique guy. That it wasn't the gay men that were unique, it was the straight men that were unique." 10. Deposition, p. 144.

 

Adding to his discomfort was what he was hearing in the confessional: "I was becoming aware of some significant sexual problems among our priests, which I could not say to anybody." In 1995 Haley began seeing a psychologist, "to help me deal with the emotional burden of knowing what I did not want to know about my fellow priests through confession." 11. Deposition, p. 118.

"The Boy's Club"

In 1997 Father Haley was transferred to All Saints Church, the largest parish in Virginia. He joined two other associates to Pastor Jim Verrechia, an up and coming priest who seemed destined for bigger and better things than parish life. Father Verrechia was on the Board of Directors of Catholic Charities and St. Mary's Seminary; a Judge on the Diocesan Tribunal; a frequent columnist for the Arlington Catholic Herald; the Bishop's Master of Ceremonies, and so on. 12. See Arlington Diocese Racked By Sex Scandals, by James Bendell, Esq., www.rcf.org. He also liked to visit homosexual pornography cites on the Internet, a fact Father Haley discovered while using the rectory computer. 13. Deposition, p. 18. Another discovery was over three hundred e-mail letters Verrechia had written to a married female parishioner.

This last discovery was less a surprise than Verrechia's appetite for homosexual pornography. Father Verrechia had for some time conducted a very public romance with Nancy Lambert. The two spent hours together, sometimes socially, like the parish party where they sat together in a hot tub drinking wine, Verrechia's arm around Nancy. Other time was spent privately, like the time Haley ran into Nancy coming out of Verrechia's bedroom very late at night. It was called "the Father Verrechia show," and was a source of scandal to All Saints parishioners, and a source of pain for Nancy's husband and children, who were also parishioners.

"It was a full-blown scandal by the fall of 1998," Haley testified. 14. Deposition, pp. 211-212. Numerous parishioners and one of the associate pastors complained to the diocese about Father Verrechia and Nancy, but nothing changed. Bishop Keating died in 1998, and in 1999 Pope John Paul II appointed Paul Loverde as Arlington's diocesan bishop. That same year Father Haley presented to his new bishop indisputable evidence of Verrechia's misconduct: he downloaded Verrechia's letters and visits to gay porn sites onto compact disc, and presented it to Loverde. According to Haley, Loverde told him he was going on vacation and didn't have time to look at it. 15. Deposition, pp. 70-71.

Haley stressed the importance of the situation, and Loverde repeatedly said he was going on vacation first. According to Haley, Loverde did not seemed surprised by anything Haley told him about Verrechia, and was not happy to receive hard evidence concerning the bad priest. Haley testified that when Loverde finally found time to look at Haley's evidence, he suggested that Haley authored the e-mails. When Haley laughed aloud at the idea that he had composed hundreds of e-mails, Loverde implied that Haley had "doctored" the e-mails.

Word got back to Verrechia far more quickly than Loverde got back to Haley. The day after he delivered the evidence to Loverde, Haley discovered that Verrechia had deleted all his e-mails to Nancy Lambert from the rectory computer. Shortly after this Haley was transferred to St. Lawrence Church in Alexandria.

Here he met Father Erbacher. One of the first activities the two priests shared was Erbacher going through the St. Lawrence picture book and showing Haley "the boys of the previous pastor." 16. Deposition, p. 145. By this he meant altar boys the former pastor had paid $500 or $1000 to continue as his altar boys, a duty that included, among other things, vacations at the pastor's beach home. 17. Deposition, p. 153, which includes a similar story concerning a different priest. Erbacher was either very careless or very confident, for he also told Haley how he regularly embezzled funds from collection baskets. The trick to embezzlement, according to Erbacher, was that "you have to be consistent" in how the money is taken. According to Haley, "there were conversations that indicated Father Erbacher had been trained by certain priests of the diocese on how to handle and obtain money." 18. Deposition, p. 149-150. Some of the stolen money was used to increase Erbacher's collection of homosexual pornography, which featured young boys. 19. Deposition, p. 225-226. Pictures of much of this evidence were marked as Exhibits at the deposition. In addition to evidence of embezzlement, there are also photos of a large pornography collection. One of the titles is "Merry Christmas."

Erbacher also voluntarily revealed to Haley many more of the homosexual priests in the Arlington diocese. He called the gay priest network "the boy's club." Erbacher's chattiness may have come from the security of being well connected to "the boy's club." One of Erbacher's best friends was Chancellor of the Arlington diocese, and rumored to be, like Erbacher, a homosexual. This did not stop Haley from presenting to Bishop Loverde:  "pictures of his (Erbacher's) homosexual pornography collection of basically young boys, very similar to what Father Verrecchia had been looking at, but much more extensive…And so I had gone to Bishop Loverde and told him he had a significant problem at Saint Lawrence. That there was immoral and criminal activity occurring and that it was very obvious and that he needed to go and see it." 20. Deposition, pp. 155-156.

Bishop Loverde did not visit St. Lawrence. The only immediate change in the parish was Father Haley's transfer, to St. Mary's parish in Fredericksburg. Two months later word of Erbacher's activities was leaked to the media. After Father Erbacher's activities became public knowledge, Bishop Loverde immediately removed Erbacher and ordered a financial audit of St. Lawrence. The Washington Post reported that Fr. Erbacher stole approximately $320,000 from parish collection baskets. 21. Washington Post, December, 28, 2002.

Father Haley had noticed a pattern. He was being transferred shortly after each conversation he had with Bishop Loverde about immoral priests. Upon arriving at St. Mary's, Haley testified that the parish priest, Father Daniel Hamilton, was "involved in extraordinarily graphic and incredibly disturbing sadomasochism, sexual torture, cross-dressing, transgender pornography that involved she-males. He (Hamilton) was completely addicted, daily immersed in this kind of sexual horror." 22. Deposition, p. 183.

In September 2001 Father Haley went to Bishop Loverde again. He asked Loverde for a leave of absence "to find a place in the Church outside the diocese of Arlington, where a true respect for priestly holiness and morality and some sort of policy against homosexuals and homosexual activities was to be found." 23. Ibid After requesting leave to find another diocese, Haley also mentioned that there were "problems at St. Mary's." According to Haley, Loverde replied "he was tired of me telling him these vague references to people - priests with problems - and unless I gave him substantial, credible information he couldn't do anything about it." 24. Deposition, pp. 184-5

Haley had presented Loverde with substantial, credible evidence concerning Fathers Verrecchia and Erbacher. Loverde's response with Father Verrecchia was to suspect Haley of manufacturing and doctoring the evidence. While Loverde stated he had told Verrecchia to stop seeing Nancy Lambert, Verrecchia was not suspended or evaluated for his unpriestly behavior. His relationship with Lambert - and the public scandal it caused - continued until Spring of 2000, when Verrecchia voluntarily and abruptly left the Church to marry the newly divorced Lambert (on Holy Saturday), after impregnating her earlier that year.

Bishop Loverde was equally ineffectual with Father Erbacher. He never visited St. Lawrence's parish to investigate the evidence Haley had given him, and only acted after Erbacher's activities were publicized. Loverde appeared more effective at transferring good priests than disciplining bad ones. "It seemed," said Father Haley, "that the only person that was getting into trouble was me."

The trouble continued one week later, when, in response to Bishop Loverde's complaint that he couldn't do anything without evidence, Haley presented to the bishop evidence of Father Hamilton's perversity. "At the end of that meeting," Haley testified, "which was basically a slide show of the pictures of his (Hamilton's) incredible collection, the bishop told me that I had better watch out, that I did not know what he (Loverde) was capable of doing." 25. Deposition, p. 190.

One week later Father Haley was summoned to the chancery. Loverde handed him a letter of resignation and told Haley to sign it. Haley refused, and asked Loverde what he was going to do about Father Hamilton. Loverde thrust forward another piece of paper, which according to Haley, read: "I hereby instruct you to get out of Saint Mary's parish by 7 o'clock this evening." 26. Deposition, p. 192. Haley persisted in asking about Hamilton, and Loverde said Hamilton was being told of Haley's allegations. He did not say that Hamilton was being investigated, evaluated, or suspended. 27. The Washington Post article (previously cited) reported that Bishop Loverde ordered Hamilton to undergo treatment. Father Hamilton resigned from St. Mary's parish in August, 2002, and appears to have left the priesthood. The Post article is interesting for the fact that it scrupulously referred to "pornography" rather than homosexual pornography that was beyond stomach turning. Then Bishop Loverde produced another piece of paper, which Father Haley describes thusly:

"If you tell anybody by any means what has happened to Father Hamilton or anybody you will be immediately suspended from the priesthood without any warning. And (Loverde) gave me a further document that (sic) if I said anything about any priest, past, present, or future, in any behavior (I suppose it would include criminal behavior or child rape), that I would be suspended. And I said you mean I'm going to get suspended if I tell the truth to anyone but you, but if I tell you the truth you don't seem to do anything about it. So he took away my faculties, he took away my ability to preach." 28. Deposition, pp. 193-194.

Diocesan spokeswoman Linda Shovlain confirmed that Haley's right to celebrate Mass and administer the sacraments was revoked in October, 2001. 29. The Washington Post, December 28, 2002. Bishop Loverde has referred to this episode as granting Haley a requested "period of discernment" to discover whether he had a vocation to the priesthood, but very few priests in the history of the Church have begun a period of discernment by being stripped of their priestly faculties, forbidden from any type of pastoral ministry or preaching, and slapped with a (seemingly immoral) penal precept of silence. Loverde's period of discernment sounds more like a prison sentence.

Moreover, according to his sworn testimony, Haley had requested a leave of absence to find another diocese to be a priest in, not to decide whether or not to be a priest. He claims he told Loverde "emphatically, that I have never in the whole course of my priesthood asked to leave the priesthood." 30. Deposition, p. 206. In a June 14, 2002 letter, Haley told Loverde: "I have never requested a departure from the sacred priesthood." 31. Letter to Bishop Loverde by Greg Murphy, p. 4.

In spite of this, in all the letters Loverde has addressed to Haley since imposing a "period of discernment" upon him, the Bishop repeatedly writes: "Since it is your intention to leave the priesthood…I am more than happy to help you in your laicization from the priesthood." Haley believes that Bishop Loverde "is trying to strangle me out of the Church." 32. Deposition, pp. 205-206. He maintains Loverde has insisted that Haley enter treatment before he can regain his priestly faculties. He also states that Loverde "indicated to me in the letter of June 28th that on his part, he would not give approval for a transfer to any other bishop. So even if a bishop would want me, Bishop Loverde will not allow me to be transferred." 33. Deposition, p. 209. Father Haley presently subsists on a modest stipend from the Diocese of Arlington, which has required him to relocate several times. In January of this year he was back in Arlington, trying to meet with Bishop Loverde. His perseverance is noteworthy, particularly in light of his testimony concerning bishops and "boy's clubs":

"If everybody in these stories (about homosexual priests) gets together we're going to find out one little center and it always is the bishop in the diocese…they seem to know, but they will protect every single other person from knowing what they know." 34. Deposition, p. 173.

Bishop Loverde

Paul Loverde was born in Massachusetts in 1940, and ordained in the diocese of Norwich, Connecticut in 1965. He earned a Licentiate in Canon Law from the Catholic University of America. Father Loverde was an instructor in Canon Law and Bishop's Delegate for Clergy, as well as Chairman of the Presbyterial Council and Diocesan Pastoral Counsel. He became Auxiliary Bishop of Hartford in 1988, and was Bishop of Ogdensburg, New York, when Pope John Paul II appointed him Bishop of the Arlington Diocese. 35. From the USCCB Office of Communications announcing appointment of Bishop Loverde to the Arlington Diocese, January 25, 1999 (http://www.usccb.org/comm/archives/99-005.htm).

Bishop Loverde cannot be blamed for the condition of the diocese he took over. His predecessor appears to have allowed "the boy's club" to become firmly entrenched before Loverde arrived. In these circumstances it is understandable that a new bishop might, in prudence, take some time to familiarize himself with the homosexual order in the diocesan power structure. In this respect Loverde appears to have been very prudent. Initially, however, his actions pleased Arlington Catholics. Shortly after his installation the new bishop held prayer services outside several abortion clinics. Over 400 Catholics attended, and Loverde led small groups in the recitation of the Rosary. 36. Arlington Catholic Herald, April 8, 1999, reproduced online at www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/4152/loverde.htm". Loverde also canceled an event at a Dominican retreat house when he learned that radical feminist speakers, including Mary Hunt, had been invited to speak to retreatants. 37. Arlington Catholic Herald, reproduced at http://www.petersnet.net/browse/2581.htm. In his decision Loverde quoted Mary Hunt referring to herself "as a Catholic feminist liberation theologian, pro-choice and lesbian."

But under Bishop Loverde the Arlington diocese was also home for many "mini-Assisi" events, like the inter-faith prayer service Loverde hosted in February 2001, where care was taken to present the Bishop as an equal among equals with his separated Protestant brethren. 38. Arlington Catholic Herald, February 1, 2001, which features a picture of Loverde in the background, while in the foreground a Protestant minister leads a "Litany of Thanksgiving" at St. Bernadette's Catholic Church. I am in the possession of numerous other flyers and parish bulletins indicating that the insipid and dangerous drivel known as post-conciliar ecumenism - including inter-faith Good Friday services and petitions "For the Jewish people to enjoy a New Year" - is flourishing in the Arlington diocese. 39. These materials, too numerous to cite here, were provided to me by RCF attorney James Bendell.

Then there is the apparent belief of Bishop Loverde that unity in liturgy bars kneeling to receive Communion. This was enforced in his Cathedral during the same week Loverde permanently suspended Father Haley. The Cathedral rector not only refused Communion to Virginia Delegate Richard Black, he chased Black to the back of the Cathedral, shouting that Black was "a conservative idiot" and a "liar." 40. This incident was widely reported in the electronic press. I am quoting from an eye-witness, Joseph Strada, who wrote Loverde a letter of complaint. This lesson on how unity at all costs only causes disunity appears unheeded. 41.The Director of Seton School in Manassas, for instance, has declared that the custom of receiving Communion standing is "the custom and posture in every parish in the Diocese…we should avoid confusion and disunity…The fostering of unity in the Diocese of Arlington is one of Bishop Loverde's hopes since his arrival…" Sentinel, Thursday, January 25, 2001. Also unheeded is a Vatican statement declaring that "any refusal of Holy Communion to a member of the faithful on the basis of his or her kneeling posture to be a grave violation of one of the most basic rights of the Christian faithful…" 42. Statement of The Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments, Responses to Questions on Kneeling, published in the November-December 2002 edition of Notitiae.

As miserable as these anecdotes are, they only support the remarkably unremarkable conclusion that Arlington Catholics are victims of the usual post-conciliar muddle. But Bishop Loverde's treatment of Father James Haley has definitely raised the bar. Instead of acting like a shepherd by promptly investigating Haley's evidence in order to protect his flock, Loverde disbelieved Haley's proofs, transferred him twice, failed to give him promotions due a priest of his tenure, threatened him, stripped him of his faculties, publicly discredited him, blocked his transfer to another diocese, and permanently suspended him. Some of his public statements appear knowingly false, like his claim that Father Haley was not subpoenaed. The diocesan attorneys knew this, and surely Loverde either knew this as well, or should have investigated the matter before making his public statement. It is very probable that he also knew that diocesan lawyers tried repeatedly to postpone Father Haley's deposition, then declined to appear at the deposition to question Haley. 43. Deposition preamble by Greg Murphy, Esq.

Bishop Loverde appears unmoved by the protests of Arlington Catholics over his treatment of Father Haley. He maintains that he has acted properly in disciplining Father Haley, and in his treatment of the priests Father Haley exposed as unfit. "I expect every priest to live a virtuous life in keeping with his sacred calling, including his commitment to celibacy and chastity," he affirmed recently. 44. As quoted in Whistle-Blower Priest In Trouble With Diocese, ABC News Report, December 2, 2002.

This public statement conflicts with testimony Haley gave concerning statement Loverde allegedly made to him regarding homosexual priests. According to Haley, Loverde told him "there was nothing wrong" with homosexual priests, that "he never asks" if a priest is homosexual: "He said 'I have no right to ask.'" 45. Deposition testimony, pp. 157-158, p. 187. If true, this is a curious attitude not only for a bishop, but for the NCCB Chairman of the Vocations Committee, another position Loverde currently holds. 46. See U.S. Catholic Bishops, Secretariat for Vocations and Priestly Formation, Interview With Bishop Paul S. Loverde, at http://www.usccb.org/vocations/ordination/loverde.htm.

"When he consecrated the Sacrament, his voice would just tremble with emotion," a parishioner said of Father Haley. "We were bitterly sorry to lose him." 47. ABC News, Whistle-Blower Priest In Trouble With Diocese, December 2, 2002.

In the upside down world of the American Catholic Church, it appears that to have a vocation to the priesthood is grounds for suspension, and questioning whether a priest is a homosexual is morally abhorrent. As the rays of sunlight from the New Springtime of the Church fail to provide warmth, as we behold bare branches unadorned by the green leaves of renewal promised from the "New Pentecost of Vatican II," may Father Haley and other faithful Catholics gain consolation from the prophet in Wisdom:

"For the creature serving thee, the Creator,

Is made fierce against the unjust for their punishment…

Afflicted in a few things,

In many they shall be well rewarded,

Because God hath tried them,

And found them worthy of Himself…"

"The souls of the just are in God's hands,

and the elect find grace and mercy."
