Roman Priest Arrested

Roman priest John Castaldo, the spiritual leader at Trinity Catholic High School in Stamford, Connecticut, has been arrested on charges of "attempted dissemination of indecent material to a minor."

The priest was caught responding, "to a posting on a sexually explicit Web site from an undercover investigator posing as a 14-year-old boy." Authorities said, "During online conversations in April and May, Castaldo described in explicit detail the sex acts he wanted to engage in with the 'boy.'"

In addition, one student at the high school recounted a time when Castaldo called him into his office and asked, "What kids at the school were having sexual relations?" Evidently the vile stench of the confessional was not enough for 'Father' Castaldo! If a Catholic with "Holy Orders", having power to command a piece of bread to become Christ, and the ability to say, "I absolve thee" in the confessional can be like this, what chance does the average Catholic have to ward off lust?

Naturally, the Roman spin doctors are out. 'Father' Stephen DiGiovanni says, "It's a problem with the individual priest, not the priesthood." This is the old Roman trick of blaming the individual, and keeping the "corporation" out of it - the Pope will apologise for the church's "sons and daughters", but never for the church. Today, Firestone Tire with all it's product defects could never get away with such a line of logic, but Rome can!

'Father' Castaldo will also undergo "psychological evaluation in accordance with the diocese's sexual misconduct policy." Rome's policies won't help this man at all - because Jung, Freud, Maslow, John Paul II, Pius XII, de Ligouri, etc., never deal with man's need for repentance from sin, and his turning to faith in Christ ALONE.

Galatians 1:4 says that Christ, "GAVE HIMSELF FOR OUR SINS, THAT HE (Ed. note - HE Means HE, not the Roman church; it's quite plain) MIGHT DELIVER US FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD." John Castaldo's only hope is to confess the sin of Catholicism to the real Christ (not a Roman priest posing as an 'alter Christus') and receive the gift of eternal life by faith in Christ ALONE.

We have a choice - to believe in what Jung, Freud, Maslow, Wojtyla, Pacelli, and de Ligouri say, OR what the bible says. I'll take the bible. May God give Catholics the grace to see the fraudulent nature of the Roman priesthood, repent of the sin of Catholicism, and be born again.
