Toronto Parishes continue to promote and host litigious priest and serial plagiarist

Why is the Toronto Oratorian parish of St. Vincent de Paul promoting (I took the picture) and why is St. Benedict Parish hosting a serial plagiarist and litigious priest who took pleasure lusting after a frivolous and vexatious lawsuit against this writer and a good and faithful group of Chinese-Canadian Catholics. I'm sure there were others.

I've been informed that the Chancery office of the Archdiocese of Toronto sent the poster around to parishes to post and promote. They did this earlier this year when he spoke at a Jesuit retreat house on, as the promotion stated, "LGBT" issues. 

Make no mistake, whether you are the president of Harvard, once elite, now just expensive, or a catholic priest and sycophant to a pope, plagiarism is theft. The parish of St. Benedict and others promoting talks by this priest are complicit if he continues with his plagiarism in the talk.

With this heresy spouted in this 1986 article in the Windsor Star, how was this man ever ordained?

Toronto Catholic Register trying to make Thomas J. Rosica relevant

 

Serial plagiarist and litigious priest Thomas J. Rosica of the Congregation of St. Basil continues to try to be relevant, this time with the aid of Toronto's Catholic Register. 

https://www.catholicregister.org/item/36155-changing-journey-along-synodal-path

Rosica, who attempted to sue this blogger for publicly challenging his heterodoxy and scandalous comments, was first outed as plagiarist on this blog, and years later notably disgraced repeatedly in Catholic and secular media for his serial plagiarism dating back decades.

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/the-list-of-fr-rosicas-plagiarism-is-a-long-one-here-are-57-examples/

Rosica, an American from Rochester, is now a chaplain to retired Basilians at Presentation House in Toronto, a retirement home for various declining religious. As noted previously in comparing him to Michael Voris, hubris and narcissism are two things these disgraced men share.

As a reminder and as a revelation to more recent readers, here are some non-plagiarised quotes of Thomas J. Rosica from, "The Rosica Letters."

“How sorry I feel for you.  I know people who know you at the XXXX XXXX (my place of employment) 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!

More can be read here.


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 (all gone now from the public square for the same reason as his own failure, except for his attempt to become relevant again, doomed to failure. Vox, 23.11.24.) 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."

And then there was this. Rather than enjoy his time with Pope Benedict XVI in Madrid, he went there and found me living rent free in his brain.

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 .

Archdiocese of Toronto web page promoted "LGBTQ" labelling in 2022 under Thomas Collins; not this year, change has come under Archbishop Leo.

Every once in a while, I blow it. I have been corrected and offer apologies to anyone who read this article or came to it before I corrected it.

This screen shot from the archdiocesan web page was sent to me late last night. The sender did not notice and nor did I that this was form last year, 2022. The Chancery staff responsible for Communications removed this year's advertisement by Manresa and this old one.

I thank Neil MacCarthy for bringing clarity to this and the error to my attention and I apologize for the error.

It is too bad that Thomas Collins saw no issue with this but that is history.

The Archdiocese of Toronto has a Courage Apostolate which is below.

Thank you for your understanding. I had not yet had my covefe.

St. Michael's Cathedral bulletin in Toronto promotes Thomas J. Rosica's "LGBT" lecture

UPDATE:

As noted below, I was sent the notice of this as it appeared then at archtoronto.org. After contacting Neil MacCarthy, Director of Communications, seeing the problem, had it removed and I confirmed it. He did the right thing. Alas, it appears it was not stopped from going to parishes and being printed in bulletins. Well, Neil? What do you have to say for yourself and the deception? Was I duped? Were you? Was ++Francis Leo? Or, all you all culpable and at least we know where we stand?

Not a good start!

Reports from readers that it has appeared in numerous church bulletins including that of the former Chaplain for the Extraordinary Form Mass. 

Readers in Toronto, send links of the parishes where it has been published.
St. Clare of Assisi Woodbridge
St. Aidan, Scarborough

Happy Sunday!

The bulletin for this Sunday in Toronto's St. Michael's Cathedral features a post promoting the Rosica lecture to take place at the Jesuit Manresa retreat centre. In itself, there is nothing wrong with a session for parents of those suffering from same-sex attraction or gender dysphoria. The point is, the labelling by using the alphabet moniker. The Church does not label people by their sin. People have dignity as men and women, there are no others. This is the point of the post below.


FULL DISCLOSURE:

Last week, a Toronto priest sent me a notice of this, it was on his diocesan update and a web page at archtoronto.org. Seeing it, I wrote to Archdiocesan Director of Public Relations Neil MacCarthy and questioned whether this was the new breeze of Archbishop Francis Leo or a "chancery rat." Neil confirmed it was a "rat" and that Archbishop Leo was not aware and the post was removed. Now, we find that in Archbishop Leo's own Cathedral's bulletin, the alphabet mafia has won.

As I wrote to Neil, is it not bad enough for Catholics on a daily basis to be assaulted by this demonic symbol, be it the alphabet labels ever expanding or the abominable abuse of God's rainbow? Can we not even find peace away from it in the Temple of God?

Is this in the bulletin because a secretary chose to do it?

Was it the Rector's decision?

If not, does the Rector know, does he proof read the bulletin?

Does Archbishop Leo know? Did he sanction it? 

The Vigil Novus Ordo Mass for Ascension Thursday transferred to Sunday on Saturday night is in just over an hour. Will they pull the bulletin?

As for Tom Rosica, if the litigious bully and serial plagiarist wishes to leave the bedpans of Presentation House he can be assured this blogger will be writing. 

If Archbishop Francis Leo was not aware of this and did not approve, then he knows even more now where he must act quickly to assert his authority. If he did approve or does not act, then we know a little bit more of our new Shepherd and what it means.

The rehabilitation of Thomas J. Rosica continues - Jesuit retreat to "Parents of LGBTQ Young Adults!"

The "rehabilitation" of the litigious slap-suit ecclesial bully (full disclosure, against this blogger.) and serial plagiarist Thomas J. Rosica continues. In Advent 2021, he delivered a reflection at a church in Toronto and later in the Diocese of Hamilton. One talk is upcoming in the Diocese of Peterborough. The Jesuits of Canada intended to have Rosica host an online conference, "Discerning and Re-Imagining the Church." After this blog wrote it up and passed and this writer registered to attend as well as some other publicity, it was mysteriously
canceled. 


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

It was this blogger who first provided the information that Rosica was a plagiarist. Following the global outing of the disgraced plagiarist, Rosica spent time at Southdown Institute and later was sent by his Basilian order to chaplaincy work at Presentation House in Toronto, a retirement home for aged religious. Plagiarism is theft.

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

The Jesuits continue in aiding Rosica's rehabilitation with this seminar at their retreat centre in Pickering, just east of Toronto.

There has been much written that the Church and Christians should not refer to those suffering from same-sex attraction by this secular label. "God made them male and female," and He stated it was "an abomination" for those of the same sex to "lay together." St. Paul was emphatic on this. 

Some parishes in Toronto, specifically St. Clare of Assist in Woodbridge under Monsignor John Borean, have promoted this in their bulletins. 

Father Rosica needs to look after those under his spiritual care.at Presentation House. That does not include the Catholic laity. 



Friday 16 December 2022

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:

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!

Be sure to register!

Thanks Tom.

Before Rosicagate, 600,000 and that took over a decade. It's called The Rosica Effect.

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!


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!

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?

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.


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.


Fr. Rosica's Bias: Are We Getting The Whole Synod Story ...
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

Image result for rosica vox cantoris

W
ell, 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

Vox Cantoris

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!

A Message from Fr. Thomas Rosica, CSB

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

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.”

Rosica's plagiarism in his books at Novalis stated as "clean" is questioned by Professor

On Friday, LifeSiteNews reported that Joseph Sinasac, of Novalis, Tom Rosica's publisher, was "alarmed and dismayed" over the cases of plagiarism. Sinasac reported that all was well, that the books, were "very clean."

Joshua Hochschild a professor at Mount St. Mary's University uncovered examples of Rosica's plagiarist actions. On March 3 on Twitter, Dr. Hochschild asks if Novalis can confirm that Rosica's book, Seven Last words, "does not contain, or at least documents, these ~20 sentences from a 1994 source (in addition to the other five instances I found?" 

Sinasac relied on plagiarism detecting software which Hocshchild calls a "weak tool." He continues that "Publishers who suspect an author plagiarized should give work extra careful scrutiny: actual reading and careful search, not a quick software check." 

The question is this: 

Was Tom Rosica fully honest and transparent with Joseph Sinasac? 

Has Novelis been deceived?

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.
