A Catholic Bishop Tries to Weasel Out of Paying for Sex Abuse Lawsuits

The Roman Catholic Church continues trying many different ways to avoid responsibility for all the priests it let sexually abuse children. One of these new ways was highlighted in a federal bankruptcy court judgment that went against the Diocese of Spokane, Washington. This was reported in the Aug 27 issue of the Spokane 'Spokesman-Review' in an article titled, "Judge Rules Parishes Owned by Diocese." The article said:

"A federal bankruptcy judge ruled today that Catholic churches and schools are legally owned by the Diocese of Spokane and therefore available to settle its bankruptcy case, a victory to the dozens of people who have sued the diocese for alleged sexual abuse."

The legal "angle" Bishop William Skylstad tried to employ to limit sex abuse lawsuit payments was quite brazen! Skylstad's argument in a July 25 letter to the diocese went like this:

"The properties are held in trust by the Bishop of Spokane, but do not belong to the bishop. I cannot sell the properties to satisfy judgments, for the simple reason that I do not own them."

His May 30 letter to the diocese said:

"The parishes are independent. They own themselves."

Bishop Skylstad is a LIAR!! He must be pretty desperate to stoop to this because Catholics and ex-Catholics KNOW better! Bishops have always had total control over diocesan properties. NOW......since Bishop Skylstad and his diocese face judgment about all those Catholic sex abuse crimes, he ALL OF A SUDDEN claims he doesn't have control over diocesan properties!

This is just another example of the two-faced nature of the Catholic Church.

(By the way, Bishop Skylstad is presently President of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops. This shows the type of "man" US Catholic bishops look up to!)

When I was a Catholic, I was personally involved in our church buying a new property. The contract was very specific about control over the property – control belonged to our diocesan bishop and any future successors as appointed by the Holy See (Rome). There was NO WAY we were "independent." I doubt the Spokane property contracts are any different.

Thank God the federal judge saw through this transparent attempt by Bishop Skylstad to avoid responsibility for the crimes of his church.

We thank God for once again exposing the wicked nature of Roman Catholicism. May many Catholics confess the sin of Catholicism, leave Rome forever, and receive Christ by faith ALONE for the full and free forgiveness of sins.

"The Will of God" According to a Catholic Priest

17 lawsuits (so far) have been filed against the Denver, Colorado archdiocese, claiming that retired priest Harold R. White molested boys and girls from the 60's to the early 80's.

Details on the life of this priestly pervert have been coming out the past month. White was even so bold as to attack his godson! As 'The Denver Post' reported in an Aug 19 article titled, "Priest Called Actions 'The Will of God,' Godson Says" (Ed. note – out of respect for the victims, I have omitted their names):

"Harold R. White invited many Catholic boys to his family's cabin in Grand Lake over the years. (The godson) was among the chosen ones. (He) was no ordinary parishioner, either. He was White's godson."

"He went alone with White to the mountains and no one gave a thought to it. He was 10 or 11. On that night in the mid-1960s...his godfather the Roman Catholic priest crawled into bed with him."

"'He groped me, fondled me, told me it was the will of God,' (he) told 'The Denver Post' this week. 'He said that he was one of God's disciples, that it was OK, that it was normal.'"

In a second Aug 19 article in 'The Denver Post' titled, "'Our Little Secret,'" another victim's story was recounted:

"White often invited eighth-grade boys to drive his new white Buick or Mercury. White...would sit in the passenger seat and fondle him when it was his turn to drive. He did the same to him in the sacristy, where priests and altar boys prepare for Mass."

"'He would fondle you and go, 'I'm just a priest, I'm here to show my love for you,' said (the victim). 'I'd try to push him away, and he'd say, "There's nothing wrong with this."'"

Catholics continue to believe that men like 'Father' Harold White and other priests have the power to command Christ to turn Himself into wafers and wine. Question - Does Jesus really obey such men? Answer – No. Jesus does NOT turn Himself into wafers and wine - it is a Catholic lie.

May Christ comfort and heal those who have been sexually attacked by Catholic priests over the years.

Are you praying daily that Christ protect our nations from the Roman Catholic Church and its wicked priesthood? If not, WHY aren't you? How many more 'Father' White's will God have to expose before you begin praying this?

Roman Priest - American Policies Force Illegal Immigrants to Shack Up!

The Catholic Church is always looking for new reasons to attack any attempt by the USA to defend its borders. The latest comes from a priest in Arizona, as quoted in the 'Catholic News Service' Aug 18 issue, in an article titled, "Fear Seen Hindering Immigrants from Getting Church Weddings."

As 'Father' Chuck Witzchorik said in mock lament:

"Couples in the United States illegally often do not get a marriage license because they fear being arrested or deported. Oftentimes what that means is that they live together but don't get married."

As an added bonus – Rome can also claim that such US immigration policies hinder freedom of religion! 'Father' also said:

"They (illegal immigrants shacking up) can't participate fully in the life of the church."

The truth is, 'Father' Witzchorik and his church don't care if one illegal couple or one million illegal couples shack up. What Rome wants is the continued Mexicanization and balkanization of the United States.

Illegal immigration is the best tool yet Rome has found to attack the hated USA.

If you're tired of hearing, "Press one for English or two for Spanish. O, la prensa uno para Ingles o dos para Espanol," I hope it's a reminder that we all need to be praying daily that Christ protect the USA from – illegal immigration - and – the Roman Catholic Church.

Bible School - Without the Bible!

This summer, St Susanna Parish in Cincinnati, Ohio held a "Kicked Up Bible School" for those aged 12-14. This was reported in the Aug 5 issue of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati newspaper, 'The Catholic Telegraph,' in an article titled "Kicked Up Bible School Offers Insights About Faith."

But......The article made NO mention of any bible study done!

Instead, they put the kids through a politically correct program of activities. Here are some examples:

1. "Each student was placed in a fictitious living situation, such as that of a single parent with two children who is struggling to get by, and asked to prepare a personal budget."

2. "Among the week's other activities were sorting clothes and working in...food pantries."

3. "The group visited the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, which...gave them a sense of how 'slavery still continues when people are kept in poverty and denied basic human rights.'"

4. "The students' afternoons were spent working on homes...included such tasks as painting, tearing up old carpeting and clearing out overgrown yards."

Only Catholics would dare have a "bible school" – but without the bible! Maybe they should have called it a "Kicked OUT Bible School?"

May the Spirit of God show those children that their church had a specific reason for denying them the bible in this so-called "bible school" – because the last thing the Roman Church wants is young people exploring the truths of the bible and finding out that their church is a false church!
