First and foremost, I need to make sure that the boys in Rome are not counting me… Continue reading Actus formalis defectionis ab Ecclesia catholica
Pandora’s Box
It seems that my last post opened Pandora's Box. What I thought was going to be an expression of the reasons for my exit from SNAP turned into a flash point for people for and against the way SNAP operates. I have received more email on both sides of this discussion than I expected. It… Continue reading Pandora’s Box

Sts Peter and Paul RC Mission/Cult continues in turmoil

Missouri Reporter Delves into Vianney Renewal Center in Dittmer
When I first reported Father Gibson to the Diocese of Scranton, I was told that he had been removed from ministry and sent to a facility for safekeeping. While the Diocese should have handed this prolific sexual criminal to civil authorities, they instead sent him into the Catholic Church's "Pedophile Protection Center" a.k.a. The Vianney… Continue reading Missouri Reporter Delves into Vianney Renewal Center in Dittmer

Kelly from Marquette, can you send me an email. I need to ask a question from a reader and find out the status of your blog. Father Timchak case is in pre-trial discovery.

Posting the Pope not for everyone
I have received some feedback on the campaign to reply to Pope Benedict XVI's letter to the Irish people (Dear Mr. Ratzinger: Letters from Ireland, ). Some have enthusiastically embraced the idea and plan to write a note to the Pontiff to express their opinion of his prose to the Irish nation. Others think it… Continue reading Posting the Pope not for everyone
