LifeSiteNews - Fr. Thomas Rosica accused of sexual assault, loses priestly faculties!

 Fr. Thomas Rosica accused of sexual assault, loses priestly faculties: report - LifeSite (lifesitenews.com)

Yours truly quoted:

THOMAS J. ROSICA SUED IN ONTARIO COURT FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT ON TORONTO PRIEST!

On June 29, I wrote a short blog post that a certain Toronto priest which multiple sources confirmed had his faculties removed. I can report now, that priest was Thomas J. Rosica, CSB. I was unable to report what I also knew at the time, that a Toronto priest working under Rosica on World Youth Day, 2002 was sexually assaulted by the Basilian priest. The assaults began in the late 1990's. The suit filed in the Ontario court and which is now public information states that the relationship. “allowed Rosica an opportunity to be alone with the Plaintiff and to exert total control over him, prey upon him and sexually abuse him." further, it states that Rosica repeatedly "groped and fondled" the sexual organs of the young priest. This was known to the writer nearly a decade ago after the attempted frivolous and vexatious lawsuit against me. However, at the time, I was sworn to secrecy and unable to report it or reveal my source.  

The lawsuit also goes after the Congregation of St. Basil for not properly supervising Rosica. As someone who himself was physically abused and battered by Basilian priests at the age of 13 and took it to the Congregation directly 40 years later, and as someone unjustly sued by Rosica, I can assure you that the Basilian Congregation is as much at fault and derelict in their duty to God and to His faithful. The suit further states that “The Basilians knew or ought to have known that Rosica had engaged in deviant behaviour and failed to investigate such. In failing to investigate and identify any past failings of Rosica, they also failed to identify any victims who may have been in need of counseling, assistance and support because of the actions of Rosica." Yes, the Basilians knew, they all knew and they all covered it up! 

Rosica, of course, denies the allegations just as he denied he was a serial plagiarist which this writer first exposed in 2015. In response to the Court, Rosica claims that he “infrequent ministerial contact with the Plaintiff between 1996 and 2002, but denies sexually abusing or sexually assaulting or making unwanted physical contact or engaging in any improper conduct with the Plaintiff.”

Rosica asked the Court to dismiss the lawsuit claiming that the process is governed by Canon Law.  Rosica did not choose the path of the Church or Scripture in his desire to sue this writer but rather chose Ontario's court system. The hypocrisy is there for all to see. 

In June 2024, Tom Rosica was witnessed coming out of a Toronto gay bathhouse. 

Justice comes. One just needs to be patient. All things come to those that wait.

Rosica`s Tweet from 2015 reveals a Twit!

 With a tip of the hat to Barona!

Rosica is a sad tragic figure. Rosica has some serious questions to answer before God one day.  He sold himself for a big income at Pepper + Darkness which nobody watches, not then or now, and notoriety with all the wrong people like Carlo Martini, James Martin, Steven Colbert, Katie Curic and more. I had direct dealings with him and his blatant dishonesty in 2015. The former papal advisor is a tragic figure as are those who assisted him in trying to destroy a Catholic family man and blogger for outing him for his statements and plagiarism. 

Nota Bene: Not plagiarised but paraphrased from Thomas J. Rosica. 

HAS THOMAS J. ROSICA ABANDONED PROVIDENCE HOUSE BED PANS FOR A BATH HOUSE?

Thomas J. Rosica, Basilian priest, former Executive Producer of Pepper and Darkness TV, also known as Salt + Light and former Vatican communications officer appointed by Pope Francis himself has been found, according to Lifesite news by a “credible” and on-the-record source, allegedly coming out of a Toronto homosexual bathhouse.

At this time, Rosica denies his presence there. My sources at LifeSiteNews say they’re sticking with their story.

By the way, Shane, Vox Cantoris was the first to out the serial plagiarist.

Well, that didn't take long - Tom Rosica cancelled!

Well, what do we have here? An email from The Jesuits of Canada.

Chalk up another victory for Vox Cantoris!

Back to the bedpans, Tom!

Dear David,

For reasons beyond his control, Fr Thomas Rosica is unable to present his webinar Discerning and Reimagining the Church Through the Lenses of Matthew's Gospel. 

We are forced to cancel the session. Please accept our apologies.

We will soon confirm other insightful webinars. For now, we invite you to our next one: What Should I Do? Making Good Decisions, Individually and in Groups. Drawing from 500 years of Ignatian wisdom, Sr. Laurence Loubières will share tested steps to deepen authentic inner listening and communal discernment that leads to good decisions.

His Wikipedia appropriately documents the history.

Tom Rosica makes a comeback - being hosted in a Zoom broadcast by the Jesuits of Canada!

There is an old saying about birds of a feather flocking together.

After a recent appearance at St. Peter's Church in Toronto, the Jesuits of Canada announce a major rehabilitation of Tom Rosica where he will give us his erudite thoughts, (well, will they be?) on discerning the Church today and re-imagining it through the Gospel of St. Matthew. 

For those not familiar, not only did old Tom try to sue me for writing the truth but he faced a worldwide mock-down for his actions and went away with his tail between his legs when Fogler Rubinoff decided that pro-bono only went so far and global crowd-funding would go further.

This was the first to actually expose Tom as a plagiariser. Ah, I remember it well.

"Will Francis change doctrine? No, that's not how doctrine changes. Doctrine changes when pastoral contexts shift and new insights emerge." Blah. Blah. Blah. The quote was from the National Catholic Reporter Richard Gailladartz and it was used repeatedly by Tom without attribution. Of course, after a few years, it was discovered that Rosciagate extended to twenty or thirty years of plagiarism noted previously on this blog and by Dorothy Cummings Maclean at LifeSiteNews. Yet, only a few months ago, he was again publicly exposed for doing it again. 

And the Jesuits of Canada now wish to associate with a serial plagiarist?

I can imagine a recent conversation between Tom and Gilles Mongeau, EssJay, the "Socius" of the Canada Province of the Jesuits.

Tom:     "Tell me Gilles, may I plagiarise whilst I pray?

Gilles:    "No Tom, but you may pray whilst you plagiarise!

OOPS, HE DID IT AGAIN! - TOMMY J. ROSICA ACCUSED ONCE AGAIN OF PLAGIARISM!

Well, knock me down with a feather.

I didn't see this one coming!

I mean, nobody can be this stupid.

John Paul II. Benedict XVI. Even Francis!

BREAKING NEWS JUST OUT FROM THE NATIONAL CATHOLIC REGISTER!

Father Thomas Rosica Accused of Plagiarism in New Article on Vatican II| National Catholic Register (ncregister.com)

Okay, look, he's not a Canadian. He is American, born in Rochester!

I never thought I would ever blog again about this clown. Years of posts outing his unorthodox statements and the first one to disclose of his plagiarism which took a few more years to bubble up enough to take this clown down.

It seems that he found some time between bedpans at Presentation House in Toronto to once again steal somebody's else work. Because Tom, that's what plagiarism is.

Theft!

Schadenfraude!

A Merry Christmas rant and wish

This has been quite the year and this Christmas letter is going to be a rant, so be ready. 

My last Christmas activities were greatly curtailed or wiped out completely, including much of the singing and many Masses because of an illness that was no doubt in my mind, the China Virus. It began on or around the 19th of December, on the 23rd I had great trouble with my lungs and was put on azithromycin. On the 24th a fever of 102 which ranged for six days no lower than 100 kept me home from Midnight Mass. The breathing only slightly improved over the week but by the 31st I was in hospital with pericarditis and myocarditis brought on, according to the cardiologist by a "virus which you may have or had, we don't know, we can't find or identify it. A virus which migrated from your lungs to attack your heart." Don't believe our lying politicians and scientists. The China Virus was in Canada in at least November as it was in the United States and Europe. Probably earlier in Italy and certainly in Wuhan itself. The system came crashing down there in early December, remember the doctor who later passed on that was arrested? For that to happen in Wuhan, it must have been building for months, maybe as early as September. The blood test from the ABC Study which I was part of was inconclusive, "unlikely." Then again, the sample was taken in late July 2020, seven months after the infection. They will test again. The consensus seems to be that antibodies last three months. That is very revealing as to how efficacious the vaccine may or may not be. If it was not then the China Virus then I don't know what it could have been. What I can tell you that it was not a cold, not a flu, not bronchitis, not pneumonia. It was all that and more. 

Here we are a year later. In Toronto and many of the surrounding regions, Mass is verboten and will be until at least the end of January in most of Ontario, except for the Diocese of St. Catharines. Not by the Premier and his  ridiculous limit of ten but by our Cardinal who one upped him and made it zero. No Mass for you and Merry Christmas from Cowardinal Thomas "The Grinch" Collins. It seems that all we have left is mocking. They listen not to the little people. They answer no emails, no letters, no calls. They care not about you but you can be assured, they want your money. They discussed in their various webinars pre-authorized chequing and on line donations. All the churches have point of purchase devices. They want your money but won't provide you the Mass and Sacraments. 

No one is coming to save us well no one except our Lord Jesus Christ, certainly nobody in this world, this archdiocese. We have been abandoned by all of them. They are corrupt, compromised, cowardly and in many cases incompetent. 

Cardinal Collins should have been in court over church closings in March, a time when most of us accepted certain restrictions because we did not know what we were dealing with. I regret accepting it so readily. A judge would laugh him out of court now. "Where have you been, Eminence? You come to my court now but you accepted it for nine months and you took the government money to stay solvent. Don't waste my time." 

These episcopal hirelings are wicked. I have seen much over the last dozen years or so and kept quiet about most of it. Shall we consider the invitation to the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter come to Toronto and the fake promises, granting of a parish - Canadian Martyrs and then the stripping of it away a few days later? How about punishing them because they are called to a higher authority and refused his H1N1 edict to band Holy Communion on the tongue. Did he banish them or were they so disgusted they gave up the next Lent and left? I know the truth, I was the Schola Master and they will never be back in Toronto. 

How about the personal betrayal when I was unjustly threatened by Thomas J. Rosica in a well publicized lawsuit? Do you think my Archbishop reached out to me in any way? Not once. Not directly, not indirectly. Collins would have been happy to see me twist on a vine. Yet, a bishop in an obscure part of a former Soviet satellite reached out to me and my wife directly and personally. Offered holy Mass numerous times  A then Vatican Cardinal made it known that he was praying for us. Where was my bishop? 

How about direct knowledge after complaints of active homosexual priests being left in the parish. You know the saying? "Keep it legal, keep it quiet, keep it going." The rule out of Southdown and the general order in Toronto is "keep it within the presbyterate." Like that? How about the forced early retirement and persecutions of various priests. One happening right now. Not abusers. Not embezzlers but not compromisers with the lavender crowd and the diktats of lesser men. How about his time as Rector of St. Peter's Seminary when student seminarians went to him with complaints over homosexual professors making passes at them and his response was, "you have sex on the brain." Don't think it happened? I have first hand testimony. 

Now here we are at the end of 2020 with just over one year to go until Collins turns 75 and is replaced. Quite the legacy he leaves us. 

And what of Premier Doug Ford? A man who on one hand one could have a beer with and on the other rules his caucus with an iron fist and has intimidated every one there into silence by removing any and all opposition from within. As David Warren wrote yesterday, he is a "simpleton." Indeed, a simpleton. He said in March he was putting an "iron ring" around our seniors. Ha! More like rusty chicken wire. The overwhelming majority of China Virus cases and deaths are in long-term care and other congregant living situations and amongst the working poor that cannot work from a computer, do not have a job from which they can work at home. Testing is still taking four days. This is preposterous. He has failed to protect our seniors, he has not quarantined the vulnerable and their caregivers. Personal health support workers still travel between homes and are still functioning in the community. All these should be in our empty hotels on school buses to the nursing homes and then rotated on a cycle. Tested daily. The working poor who have no sick days, no union and cannot, not work and won't go for testing because they can't not work, must be tested with immediate results, ordered into quarantine with full pay from the employer subsidized by the government. with direct help from our churches - where is the Cardinal on this where with the preferential option for the poor? He speaks of "collateral damage" - it is all around us, what has he done? What has Ford done about it? Where is the action for these people to protect them and our communities? Nothing. No thinking outside the box. Just shut down the dress shop on Main Street but let Walmart sell its China made garbage. Let Home Depot sell a refrigerator or stove but not The Hudson's Bay or Leon's. Let Costco sell a big screen television but not Bad Boy. My American readers understand this, the same is happening there. 

Protect the vulnerable, the working poor and let us go to Mass and get on with life. Wear a mask where necessary, (no mask comments will be approved so don't make them, got it?) take your Vitamin D, wash your hands, be reasonable with how close you are to others. These things make sense this time of year whether for cold, flu or the China Virus. 

From Bergoglio to Collins to Ford, Fauci, Tam, - all of them are in the pockets of globalists who are trying to destroy our middle class, our wealth, our power. We must speak truth to this power with no apologies. Forget being polite or as Cowardinal Collins likes to say, "charity with clarity." Enough of this false charity. Enough of these frauds. 

Now, here I am a second Christmas and all its trimmings wiped out due to this virus that came to us from the communist regime in China. Created in a laboratory, accidentally or intentionally released but certainly intentionally used to destroy our societies. We are to believe that yesterday, Canada had 6,845 cases but China had 18? China with 1.4 billion people and Canada with 38 million covid stats world - Bing. If we believe China has only 18 cases, well, we deserve what we get. 

As I wrap up this little rant remember this. Jorge Bergoglio has not offered the Holy Sacrifice on the high altar at St. Peter's since he enthroned that "damned bowl" representative of the demonic pagan earth goddess. All of this that has beset us has come since the worship in the garden and in the basilica of pagan idols. God has been blasphemed. We saw it ourselves. He no longer considers himself the Vicar of Christ and he has spent the last year throwing himself fully into the arms of Sachs and the rest of these globalist monsters. Do not think that all of this is not linked? There are no coincidences. 

My friends, I thank you for your time coming to this blog. I thank you for tolerating my sometimes over the top commentary, it is all I have, all we have at this point. Unless there is something urgent, the next few days I will only post some of my favourite music. I've had enough and need a break. My wife says, I had enough three weeks ago. 

There is no one coming to save us. No one except the baby born in Bethlehem, laid in a manger, as were baby lambs to protect them, a manger from which they would eat and from which we are fed. 

God grant you a holy Christmas.

Thomas Rosica - from Southdown to a Seniors Home for Priests - More on the Serial Plagiariser

Gee old Tommy Boy, it never stops, eh? 

The plagiarism scandal of this petulant and arrogant fraud never ends. Now, it implicates Marc Cardinal Ouelett who hired the clown as a "ghost-writer." What a joke is Ouelett, a lazy, washed up Francis-toady, a Bergoglian too cowardly to confront the evil monster and too lazy to write his own homilies. 

Let it be noted that this writer here on Vox Cantoris was the first to out Rosica as a plagiarist for consistently using this quote by Richard R. Gaillardetz as published in the National Catholic Reporter and which Rosica made his own.  

"Will this Pope re-write controversial Church doctrines? No. But that isn't how doctrine changes. Doctrine changes when pastoral contexts shift and new insights emerge such that particularly doctrinal formulations no longer mediate the saving message of God's transforming love. Doctrine changes when the Church has leaders and teachers who are not afraid to take note of new contexts and emerging insights. It changes when the Church has pastors who do what Francis has been insisting: leave the securities of your chanceries, of your rectories, of your safe places, of your episcopal residences go set aside the small minded rules that often keep you locked up and shielded from the world."

Tell us Tommy, how was time in Southdown? Did you discuss your disgusting persecution of this writer and his family and your attempt to sue me into poverty for telling the truth? Did they recommend you apologise you filthy rat? Priest, my foot! You're a stinking fraud and a heretic as proven from your own words in this article in the Windsor Star when you were still a Deacon. You sniveling little man, you should never have been ordained. I am convinced you were never a priest. You were a heretic. 

How could a heretic as proven by your own words as a Deacon, ever be validly ordained?

A stinking fraud from the beginning.

How far you have fallen, old man. Chaplain to retired Boyzillians in a retirement home for priests. 

It all looks so good on you.

Rosica at Splashdown

An "inveterate alpha hotel" I've been called by a brave anonymous commentator for allegedly kicking this man whilst he is down. On the contrary, as written below, I hope he finds his priesthood and spends his life as a monk or hermit to save his soul. That is not a kick, it is a good hope.

Where is the apology from this Rosica for more than a dozen harassing emails?

Where is the apology from this Rosica for a slap-suit that took money out of my home to defend against?

Where is the apology from this Rosica for the gossip he undertook with certain other clerics to limit and undermine my work as a Cantor?

Where is the apology from Rosica for the malignant gossip to people at my employer?

Where is the apology from Rosica for the no less than two attempts to have me fired by using direct and indirect pressure on my employer. Confirmed by the way, by senior officers that he was trying to undermine my employment and thus, my security and pension?

Not from him.

But from the Rosica Family.

No, not the former cop gone bad who cyberstalked and murdered.  

But from the other brother who apologised without reservation on "behalf of the Rosica family" and said, "you must do everything you can to keep my brother from ever becoming a bishop."

Turns out, Tom did himself in on that one.

Some day, I may forgive Tom, I hope to.

Today, is not that day.

The party's over, Tom

Thomas J. Rosica is at Southdown. I've known this for two weeks. I did not publicly report on it as I did not feel it my place and to respect my sources.

However, someone has revealed it to Michael Voris, as reported here.

It is this writer who doggedly pursued this arrogant clericalist and it was this writer who was the first to out him for his plagiarsim. The price was a slap-suit that elevated this blog from 600,000 page views after a decade to what you see at the left today, all since March of 2015.

The price Rosica paid was great.

Suing this writer was the beginning of the end for this errant cleric. It focused others from Bloggers to LifeSiteNews to Breitbart, Catholic World Report, Renew America and the National Catholic Register on this nasty and despicable actions. It caused everyone to take a closer look.

He is a broken man. He was on the rise, no doubt lusting an episcopal appointment from Bergoglio. He is Bergoglio's type, to be sure.

It's over for him, brought down from heights by his own blind pride and arrogance. He is a sycophant and a sociopath, just like his Bergoglio.

Whatever has sent him to Southdown may it be a start of his healing. May he find his priesthood again, but may he live as a hermit and may no Catholic ever been on the receiving end again of this man's actions, nor ministry.

He is a bad man and a bad priest and as he wrote me many times, "a sad, sad man."

Bye-bye Tom

Well, our serial plagiarist, litigious loser and homosexualist priest, Thomas J. Rosica, has now effectively disappeared. 

Stripped of academic honours and more even the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops has removed all of his writings. He has been tossed overboard by the failing Salt + Light, and his social media propaganda outlets at Twitter and Facebook have gone dark.

The filthy pervert-protecting Bergoglio has lost his chief water-carrier in Canada.

This writer was on to this clerical fraud a decade ago. It was this writer who relentlessly called out this intellectual bumpkin for his statements and speeches. It was this writer that first publicised his plagiarism five years ago. It was this writer who suffered by his arrogance and his rich Toronto Italian neo-Catholic friends (you know who you are and so do I) by his frivoulous and vexatious attempt at a law suit.

As I look back now, it was that lawsuit attempt and the massive blogger publicity worldwide through the great help of Michael Voris that was the beginning of the end for this man. His assent was to continue for a short time more, but the die was cast. He would be brought down by his own hand. His own words. His own writing, or lack-thereof and his own arrogance.

The record of this filthy malefactor's work will reside on this blog. It will not be removed nor will the link at the left. It will serve as a testament of his rotten work.

My hope for Tom is that he now rediscover his vocation and work out his salvation with fear and trembling. Yet, based upon his priestly work I doubt he ever really had one. Someone close to Tom contacted me numerous times over the last few years and filled me in on his youth and the family and the history of the family and the Basilians in Rochester. On one occasion he said to me, "You must do everything you can to prevent (him) from every becoming a bishop."

I did.

Serial Plagiarist and Slap Suit-happy Basilian priest Thomas J. Rosica removed from Salt + Light Media Corporation

Thomas J. Rosica, CSB, the plagiarising priest, former "organiser" of the 2002 World Youth Jamboree in Toronto, founder of the little-watched and irrelevant Salt + Light Media, former Board member of St. Michael's College amongst others, one-time Consultor to the Pontifical Council on Social Communications and  has been ousted (resigned?) from Salt + Light. His apologies in a general way are meaningless. Let him apologise personally to each and every writer, author and academic from which he stole and then lied about it. Let him apologise personally to each Intern he accused. 

https://saltandlighttv.org/statements/

This writer was the first to expose his plagiarism over four years ago when he repeatedly used in writing and speeches a text from Richard Gailladartz of the National Catholic Reporter. But what do we bloggers know, we write "fake news," according to Bergoglio.

https://voxcantor.blogspot.com/2015/07/changing-doctrine-id-on-agenda.html

Tom Rosica stole money right out of our extra mortgage payments with his scandalous, frivolous and vexatious lawsuit which I had to defend against. His Wiki page has this action listed. One of the most prominent there. A joke. You can also click to the history at the top left of this post.

In this matter, he has never apologise nor has the Board of Salt + Light, Tony Gagliano of St. Joseph Communications or Fogler, Rubinoff's Nina Perfetto for their scandalous actions against my family. A pro-bono lawsuit based on lies and attempt to control my rights.

There is more. He attempted to interfered with my employment which those lobbied have admitted to me and he confessed in a scandalous series of emails to me that he contacted people at my employer to gossip about me. I have reason to believe that he even tried to undermine my professional Cantor position. His emails to me alluded to it as did actual warnings from priests that something was going on behind the scenes. Some have succumbed to his lobbying and have me as persona non grata and you know who you are, right Fathers Lace and No Grace? Others, have a pair.

He is an evil man. He has gotten what he has deserved. A complete removal from any position of responsibility. Complete and utter humiliation. All brought on by his own arrogance, his own egotistical mind, his own narcissism. He has his reward. 

He caused undo stress upon my family. He is a disgrace lacking in true empathy and a man of false compassion and no moral compass. A sociopath and a narcissistic bully. 

Now, let him publicly apologise to me and the many others whom he has hurt. 

His "career" is over. May he forever disappear from any public life. May he repent for the evil he has done, make amends and do penance and by such, save his soul.

May this be the last mention of this wretched little man on this blog.

So let it be written. So let it be done!

Well now, it seems that the whole blog at Salt + Light Television has been wiped off the web page. Can this be anything else but an admission that it is likely full of plagiarism?

One of the items eliminated was Thomas J. Rosica's "Message" wherein he stated that he had no intention of suing this writer.

Thanks to Internet archives, I post it here below, for permanent record. A blatant misrepresentation of the facts.  He had every damn intention of suing me. 

And the proof is in his Fogler, Rubinoff LLB pro-bono lawyer, Nina Perfetto's letter. 

"We reserve the right to commence litigation against you regardless of any apology or retraction but assure you that in the absence of an apology or retraction, the damages claimed will be significantly higher."

The letter clearly said that even if I had complied, they reserved the right to sue, regardless. 

There are words for men such as this.

A Message from Fr. Thomas Rosica, CSB

March 4, 2015 by Fr. Thomas Rosica

Pin It

From today’s first reading at Mass

Jeremiah 18:18-20

 The people of Judah and the citizens of Jerusalem said,“Come, let us contrive a plot against Jeremiah.It will not mean the loss of instruction from the priests,nor of counsel from the wise, nor of messages from the prophets.And so, let us destroy him by his own tongue;let us carefully note his every word.”

Heed me, O LORD,
and listen to what my adversaries say.
Must good be repaid with evil
that they should dig a pit to take my life?
Remember that I stood before you
to speak in their behalf,
to turn away your wrath from them.

As the CEO of the Salt and Light Catholic Media Foundation and Television Network, I am not a high-ranking Vatican official nor a member of the hierarchy of the Church as erroneously claimed in several recent blogs.  In addition to my work at Salt and Light, I have had the privilege of serving since 2013 in a volunteer capacity as English language assistant to the Holy See Press Office.  I relate on a daily basis to hundreds of English language journalists around the world.  I know that this daily service has been encouraged and appreciated by the Vatican and by hundreds of journalists all over the world.

I fully support the teaching of the Church and welcome Pope Francis’ invitation to the whole Church to reflect seriously on the foundations of our faith. The recent Extraordinary Synod of Bishops has invited us to mature, honest dialogue and conversation and to find new ways and a new language to communicate the ancient story of the Church and our beautiful, unchanging doctrine to future generations.

Mature expressions of differences are welcome.  It is one thing to have differing opinions on church matters. However, there is fine line between difference of opinion and blatant destruction of person’s lives and reputations. Having been strongly advised to respond, as an individual and in no institutional capacity to the Vatican or to my place of work, to the continuous false, slanderous statements of a blogger over a long period of time that resulted in gross distortion, misinformation, many phone calls, letters and clear threats from callers based on the repeated false information contained in the blog, it was never my intention to sue, but rather to issue a letter to “cease and desist” the frivolous calumny. A legal firm, offering its service pro bono to us, issued a letter to cease and desist. No lawsuit was ever launched against the blogger! The matter is now closed.

Popes Benedict XVI and Francis have taught clearly that the Internet and blogs can be of tremendous service to the up-building of the Church and of humanity. They have never taught that blogs and social media should be used, in the name of fidelity, to engender slander, hatred, reviling and destroying.

In a world torn apart by hatred, terror and violence, often through the gross distortion of religion, we must be much more attentive to our use of social media and how it is used to unite rather than destroy humanity. Many in the Catholic blogosphere have contributed enormously to the spread of the faith, the defense of all that is good and beautiful about our faith and our Church, and the opening of dialogue among strangers. They are to be congratulated and encouraged. Others have chosen to turn the blogosphere into a black hole of vitriol, anger and profound sadness. As Catholics, the great privilege and freedom of expression and access to social media also have certain obligations of decency, integrity, honesty and charity that reveal who we really are as a faith community.

Tom Rosica "threatened" the Catholic University President - First signs of plagiarism now date back to 1985!

It was not long ago that Dr. David Mulroney was ousted as President of St. Michael's University in Toronto. He was believed to have been the choice of the Chancellor, Thomas Cardinal Collins. It was also the conclusion that his ouster was engineered.

Now, we have the proof.

And yes, I am vindicated.

Plagiarist Fr. Rosica threatened me during reforms at Catholic university, former pres. reveals

“Although a number of university presidents and folks from U.S. universities came up and said that the talk really resonated...Fr. Rosica was furious,” Mulroney recalled.

“He upbraided me and said that I had insulted the Basilian Fathers because I hadn’t thanked them and given them credit.”

Mulroney told Rosica that it wasn’t the kind of speech where he thought he could give them credit, as he was talking about problems and he wanted to stay on topic.

“While I was leaving, he said ‘There will be repercussions’,” Mulroney said.

There followed six weeks in which the president was “summoned” before different members of Collegium and, in Mulroney’s words, “really put through the wringer for having spoken like this.”

And if that is not enough to ruin Tom's evening. It seems his plagiarist ways now have been found out as far back as 1985.

Good grief. What's next, High School?

Not only is the man a bully. He's a total fraud.

Rosica reportedly "lied" to the producers of "Bella." Was it an attempt to sink the movie?

Bella was a delightful film.  

John Zmirak writes at The Stream about an incident relating to Rosica, Salt + Light and the producers of Bella and the Toronto International Film Festival.

"We were driving to his studios when I got a phone call out of the blue. On the line was a 20-something employee at Salt and Light. She was crying. She told us that Father Rosica’s motives weren’t pure. That he didn’t like us or our film, and he intended to air our interview that very week. That would have been during the Festival, which then we’d be sure to lose.

I got off the phone, kind of skeptical. Would a priest really do something like that? Would a journalist break an embargo he’d promised to respect? I talked the question over with the other producers. At last we agreed. To be on the safe side, we would cancel the interview.

We turned the car around and I called Father Rosica. I told him that our schedule wouldn’t permit an interview after all.

He got violently angry, and shouted that he’d been counting on the interview to fill air time that same week. We’d left a hole in his broadcast schedule.
I was taken aback. I said, “Father, you promised us this interview wouldn’t air until after the Festival. That’s why we agreed to do it.”

Rosica got silent. He said something condescending and hung up the phone.
I guess we were foolish to trust someone, just because he wore a Roman collar.

Rosica did want to politicize the film, in a way we’d warned him would sink it. And he was willing to lie in order to do that. His motives? I won’t speculate on those."

Just one more example of the character of this deceitful man. A man who put my wife and I under great distress. A man who on no less than two occasions tried to undermine my employment.

A most repugnant man.

Hey Rosica - Plagiarise this!

The quotes below are not plagiarised. They were not written by a Salt + Light intern. They were written by a Catholic priest, the Executive Producer of Salt + Light, a Consultor to the Pontifical Council for Social Communication and a man who is now discredited in the academic community for his theft of other people's ideas.

All written by Thomas J. Rosica, CSB

Can you imagine that behind my back he would go to my employer and gossip about me and undermine me?

“How sorry I feel for you.  I know people who know you at the XXXX XXXX and elsewhere.  They have also expressed the same thing.”

When challenged he responded.

“Say no more!  I don't speak to your co-workers.  They speak freely about you. Broadcast yourself.”

Note, he was talking about my employer, he was trying to undermine me and my career!

Other emails, a dozen, have included such quotes from Tom Rosica directed to me:

"Something went wrong somewhere and I feel your sadness."

“May the Lord help you as you wallow in a vortex of sadness and negativity. “

“In addition to a good confessor, you should seriously consider a counselor of sorts to assist you..”

"I might make the suggestion the title of your blog be changed to "Vox Umbris" rather than Cantoris!"

"May the Lord grant you the peace you are seeking this Lent. No guarantees you will find it this side of the Resurrection but keep seeking."

"All it takes is a keyboard and screen to become an expert. Fr. Z is one of many. Why do you feel it necessary to follow the crowd? What is really eating away at you regarding the liturgy? It says much about you."

"Your keyboard and your monitor do not make you a bishop or liturgist."

"God bless you and grant you peace you are not finding in our Church! Amen."

"In "broadcasting" yourself, you actually set yourself further and further away from the Church. You are above any form of recommendation and suggestion and are part of a clericalism far worse than any cleric."

"How sorry I feel for you."

"The Father Corapis, Eutenauer and the Vorises of this life will not lead you into true life and authentic healing. I know you know that but will simply not admit it."

"I am sure you would have difficulty with her (Mary's) response to the angel, and her Son’s response to the sinners with whom he kept company."

"As the stories emerge from those who know you and from the pastors and parish communities whom you tried to assist with your "chant" and succeeding in causing such division, know that we keep you in our prayers. It is indeed a very sad story that hides itself behind Latin, chant, and a blog that is nothing more than a story of anger and sadness."

Subject: Voris' TV exposed for what it is

Dear David,

For all your chant and rant, you obviously have very poor judgment in those you prop up as your gods... and those with whom you enjoy being photographed!

Read this story below which has broken in the news today as Mr. Voris is exposed for what he is... and isn't.

I beg he Holy Spirit to open your eyes, heart and mind to the Truth, not the myth you are pushing as the real Church, the "real" Catholic TV, the real nonsense.

God bless you... from Madrid .

Fr. Rosica

It's over for you Tom

Thomas Rosica has resigned, or "resigned" from St. Michael's College for plagiarism, He states that it was not willful. How can this be? It went on for at least 25 years and pre-dates any possible "Intern" and the whole technology of "cut and paste." 

Rosica shows no contrition. No recognition of the wrong done.

Just as he showed no contrition or offered and apology to me and my wife for the suffering he put us through.

He is a sociopath.

I will post for public record the inflammatory, mocking and disgusting quotes from a series of emails he sent to me.

It has been confirmed to me that on at least two occasions he attempted to interfere with my employment. 

The man is wicked.

Rosica's plagiarism extends to his academic papers. All of his credentials are now in question!

The Tom, "I'm a Serial Plagiarist" Rosica theft of other people's writing exposé has taken a new twist. 

Just as a pedophile doesn't become one overnight, nor does a plagiarist. Both are serial actions that begin at a younger age and increase based upon the ability to continue to get away with it.

Josh Hochschild of Mount St. Mary's University and author of A Mind at Peace, has exposed Rosica's academic plagiarizing on Twitter @JoshHoshschild, the entire thread is copied below. 

According to Tom Rosica's biography on Wikepedia:

"(He) has an undergraduate degree in French and Italian from St. John Fisher College, in Pittsford, NY. He entered the Congregation of St. Basil as a novice and studied Theology and Sacred Scripture at Regis College in Toronto. He continued his studies in theology and scripture at the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome, and then École Biblique et Archéologiaue Française de Jérusalem."

Visiting his Wikipedia page, one will notice that his work at World Youth Day and Salt + Light occupies six lines. The "Conflict" with this writer occupies five. The new plagiarism paragraph is three. I suspect that will now change.

Every University that gave a degree to this man must investigate the worthiness of these Letters. His dissertations, his academic papers and multiple degrees are now all called into question. It is only a matter of time until other investigations reveal more plagiarism.

Kevin Storey, CSB is the General Superior of the Congregation of St. Basil. he has issued a statement: 

"Plagiarism of any kind is wrong. When it is committed knowingly it rises to the level of a moral offense. As a community of Catholic educators we condemn it, without qualification. At the same time, we embrace our brother despite this failing for which he has taken full responsibility. With him, we apologize to those who have been offended by the misuse of their literary gifts."

Yet, Rosica blamed his "Interns" presumably at Salt + Light, as there would be no other place a priest would have "Interns." 
His apology seems suspect. The Catholic Register reports on Rosica's quote in the National Post wherein he states:

"I will apologize that this came to light, and it’s wrong, and it’s not going to happen again,”

How in the name of all that is good is this a recognition of doing wrong? How is this an apology?

Tommy Rosica of the pervert-cover up and well-sued Congregation of St. Basil has been hiding a lot.

One wonders what else is being kept hidden.
