The Base Nature of the Roman Priesthood

"Investigators have found tens of thousands of child pornography images on a laptop computer used by the Rev. Stephen A. Fernandes and are now looking into whether any area children were victimized by the priest at Our Lady of Fatima Church..." This was reported in a Nov 9 'Boston Globe' article titled, "Probe of Priest Continues - Thousands of Pornographic Images Found on Computer."

The article also said:

"According to one law enforcement source, forensic computer specialists have discovered that on at least one occasion, Fernandes posed as a girl in a chatroom and persuaded a 12-year-old boy to perform sex acts in front of a webcam."

"The images discovered on his laptop include pictures of naked children and images of children performing sex acts on men."

Hmmmm......And Catholics believe such men have the power to forgive sins and command Christ to turn Himself into wafers.

Fernandes was discovered when he turned in his laptop for repair. The repairman contacted the Fall River, Massachusetts Diocese, and the diocese then contacted police authorities.

At this point, some might be saying, "Hooray - the bishop turned him in." But - WITHOUT all the revelations the past two years about Catholic priestly perverson, would Fernandes have been so easily turned in? I don't think so.

If former Boston Cardinal Bernard Law was still in power - Fernandes would be protected and children still at risk. Thank God for the childrens' sake that Cardinal Law got kicked out of Boston!

"Fernandes, 54, pleaded not guilty in New Bedford District Court to one count of possessing child pornography."

Please pray daily that Christ protect children from the Roman Catholic priesthood. May God's Spirit continue to show Catholics that their priesthood is wicked, perverse, and - in fact - antichrist!
