Local leaders say those connections to the world's largest Baptist university cast doubt on the handling of the criminal case against ex-Phi Delta Theta president Jacob Walter Anderson, who was accused of repeatedly raping a woman outside a fraternity party. Anderson was indicted on sexual assault charges, but the agreement allowed him to plead no contest to unlawful restraint.
His lawyers say a statement from the woman, which she read in court, is riddled with misrepresentations and distortions. Prosecutors have defended the plea deal. Bill Reidy says he remembers every detail about the office where he was repeatedly raped by the Jesuit priest who served as his academic adviser at Loyola Academy, a private Catholic school just outside Chicago.
A ficus tree in one corner, a desk chair in another. The credenza covered in photos. The door that opened inward and stayed locked. Each meeting ended with the same nauseating ritual, Reidy says. Reidy was hurt and confused. Did other students know?
Were other priests at Loyola Academy — a school his father insisted on sending him to because he believed a Catholic education was the best education — aware? Were they laughing at him? On the weekends, when his parents forced him to go to church with his family, Reidy had to sit in an aisle seat, so he could make an immediate exit. He begged his parents to put him back in public school. When they asked why, Reidy always had the same tortured reply: Therese school would have to be postponed indefinitely because of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy action filed by the Archdiocese of Santa Fe in late November.
After the Fort Worth Star-Telegram published a series of stories about sexual misconduct at independent fundamental Baptist churches, the paper received hundreds of responses. As the clerical sexual abuse scandals continue to work their way through the global church, bishops and religious superiors in Spain are showing similar but also contrasting reactions both to the crime of abuse and the public reactions to it. He was referring to the recent publication, in several local newspapers, of allegations of clerical sexual abuse and subsequent silence and cover-up.
The two priests were assigned to different parishes on Guam in the s, but on various occasions were assigned to conduct Mass at the Saint Francis Church in Yona. Both priests are now deceased. Cruz, 2 others told altar boy he would go to hell if he told of sex abuse. The two priests, on separate occasions, sexually abused and molested the boy in their individual cars after offering the boy a ride home.
Cruz also tried to rape the boy in the car, after abusing him, according to the lawsuit. The boy, identified in court documents only as J. Standing at a payphone in Rome, calling his wife in tears, was not how the newly ordained Catholic deacon planned to end a day pilgrimage in Rome. On a misty night in February , Deacon Mark King called his wife, Susan, to explain he had just escaped a drunken sexual attack from their pastor, who had subjected him to days of sexual harassment and unwanted sexual advances, at a restaurant. Upon his return to the United States, Deacon King and his wife met with diocesan officials the next morning, where chancery officials prepared his statement, witnessed by the diocesan investigator and notarized by the chancellor of the diocese, documenting the aggressive sexual harassment, sexual advances and propositioning he had received from Father Greg Mullaney, then-pastor of Sacred Heart Church in Groton, Connecticut, during that trip.
Speaking to the Register more than 12 years later, Deacon King said he was very concerned that he might not be the only person targeted by the priest for sex.

Can't fight Vatican's financial corruption or liberal agenda anymore. Cardinal George Pell is appealing the verdict from the Australian jury that found him guilty of actually committing sex abuse. Even if the verdict of guilty is subsequently overturned, it seems certain that Pell will no longer be able to fight financial corruption in the Vatican or the liberal agenda pushing reception of Holy Communion to those living contrary to Christ's teachings. It's worth recalling Pell's dire warning he gave in concerning the extreme goals of liberal prelates at the Extraordinary Synod on the Family.
It's a stalking horse. They want wider changes, recognition of civil unions, recognition of homosexual unions. Cardinal George Pell, formerly the Pope's right-hand man for Vatican finances and the face of the Catholic Church in Australia, has been convicted of abusing two choir boys when he was Archbishop of Melbourne in the s. Although this is the biggest news story in Australia, it is not on the front page of a single newspaper here.
The state of Victoria, where Pell was tried, has imposed a suppression order that bans all reporting and comment. So Australians are resorting to overseas websites and Twitter for news. Who, when, where, how, why are all matters of surmise. About two weeks into his pontificate in March , Pope Francis uttered a phrase that would quickly become one of his greatest hits in his canon of quotes: Francis spoke those words to thousands of clerics who had gathered at the Vatican for the annual chrism Mass, a liturgy traditionally held on the morning of Holy Thursday that celebrates the holiness of the priesthood.
The phrase became a common refrain for any progressive Catholic testifying to the promise of Francis' pontificate.
But the metaphor never sat well with me. Sure, Francis was suggesting that members of the clergy not stay aloof and removed from the people they serve. But what did it say about the laity? Are we a lost, unwashed and simple herd who were utterly dependent on our priests and bishops for guidance?

Posted by Laura R on December 14, 5: An Irish-born priest, who was convicted of sexually abusing a girl in his care at a religious school in Santiago but served no jail time for the offense, left Chile on Friday for Rome after serving a four-year sentence. Critics have long pointed to the case of the Rev. Posted by Pauline Hodgdon on December 14, 5: They also believe it plays a key role in helping victims heal. My home was my unsafe place. My church was my harbor. Growing up as a victim of abuse, Bible teacher Beth Moore was grateful that she could escape to her church.
But in retrospect, she wished it could have done more. The Southern Baptist ministry leader has repeatedly spoken out on the issue over the past year, joining a wave of evangelicals calling on churches to more explicitly condemn, prevent, and help the victims of sexism, harassment, and abuse. Posted by Pauline Hodgdon on December 14, 4: The first female teaching pastor at Willow Creek Community Church, Beach was one of the women whose allegations of sexual misconduct against founder Bill Hybels led to his early retirement, the resignations of the entire elder board and the ongoing turmoil at the South Barrington-based megachurch.
Beach joined her voice Thursday with some of the most high-profile figures in evangelicalism at a summit convened by Wheaton College. The Billy Graham Center held the one-day gathering to address sexual abuse and harassment within the church. We are here to face that some of our systems have created susceptibility and unanswered culpability," said Beth Moore, a prominent Bible teacher and author.
Even before the opening of the GC2 Summit on Responding to Sexual Harassment, Abuse, and Violence, the event faced criticism from activists behind the ChurchToo movement, an offshoot of the MeToo movement that toppled figures in Hollywood and politics. Australian news outlets are grappling with how to handle one of the country's biggest news stories of the year — even though a judge has barred them from reporting the details. The story revolves around Cardinal George Pell, a Vatican insider who was reportedly convicted of sexually abusing minors this week, and public interest in the case has been intense.
A jury in the County Court of Victoria in Melbourne where Pell, 77, was once archbishop, is said to have found the cardinal guilty of "five charges of 'historical child sexual offenses' that go back decades," according to the Jesuit magazine America. Both that outlet and the Catholic News Agency say they have confirmed the initial report of Pell's conviction that was published by the Daily Beast. All of the outlets are citing sources who either have knowledge of the case or are "close to the cardinal.
Australian journalists have been forced to either ignore reports of a verdict or refer to it in only the broadest terms. News Corp Australia, which owns a number of print and online outlets in the country, has said it will challenge the court's suppression order. The first principal at Mercy Cross High School in Biloxi, a Jesuit priest named Francis Landwermeyer, in later years railed against the coverup of pedophilia in the Catholic church but did not live to see himself publicly identified as a priest who abused minors.
Landwermeyer is accused of abusing minors in the 60s and 70s. Landwermeyer came to Biloxi from Loyola University in New Orleans, where he was a visiting professor. District Court in Burlington on behalf of a former Vermont man now living in Texas who alleges he was sexually abused as a child by Alfred Willis, a former priest for the statewide Roman Catholic Diocese from until his dismissal in Massage Envy is the target of yet another lawsuit involving allegations of sexual assault by a massage therapist.
This lawsuit involves a Winter Garden franchise where a previous therapist recently pleaded guilty in another assault case. That therapist, Cesar Guerrero, received 15 years of probation. Alvarez sued Massage Envy a few year ago due to another massage therapist who was simply fired from a franchise in Clearwater when allegations arose and went on to assault other women while working for unrelated massage businesses. Earlier this year, Sarasota police arrested a Massage Envy massage therapist following several allegations of sexual misconduct.
The news reports of settlements made in the millions of dollars to victims of clergy sex abuse trouble me. Were there secret assets from wills and estates on reserve for that purpose? Where did all that money come from? Metuchen, New Jersey A. The settlements have come, not from any "secret assets," but from a combination of cash, proceeds from the sale of land and buildings, and from insurance payments.
What must be said first, though, is that no financial amount is sufficient to compensate victims for their suffering. As Archbishop Bernard A.
The church let you down, and I'm very sorry. Three new victims are suing over abuse they suffered as young boys at the hands of a suspected serial pedophile. A lawsuit filed on Tuesday is the fourth one alleging homosexual abuse by the former archdiocese of New Orleans deacon, George F. The three new allegations date from the s, and Brignac's attorney, Martin Regan, told The New Orleans Advocate that his client "has denied the allegations and he's not been charged or convicted of any criminal offense.
While two of the victims have not come forward publicly, Morris Daniels told his story to The New Orleans Advocate to showcase the Church's failure to stop the abuse. Daniels said, "They could've done something about it but they didn't. In a new lawsuit, a man claims a Salesian priest in Marrero raped him. The alleged victim in the new lawsuit says he was 17 at the time of the crime. At the end of each day, the man says he would pick up a check signed by Father Sam. The lawsuit claims that in November of that year, as the alleged victim went to pick up his check, Father Sam came from behind and put a vial filled with what smelled like ammonia under his nose.
Bellarmine Preparatory School, a Tacoma institution since , turned a harsh but necessary spotlight on itself last Friday when it shared information on 23 disgraced Catholic priests and non-ordained brothers previously assigned to the Bellarmine community. Publicly identifying these alleged offenders was the right thing to do. In fact, it was long overdue. Silence and secrecy should no longer be an option. The private school just off South Union Avenue took a lesson from its own Jesuit catechism: Covering up sin only invites more of it.
To date, there is no information tying these men to crimes in the Bellarmine community, and Modarelli says no victims had come forward as of Thursday. The president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is being sought for a deposition in a lawsuit alleging sexual abuse involving his daughter and son-in-law. In a motion filed in federal court, an attorney representing six unnamed plaintiffs is demanding an early deposition of LDS Church President Russell M. The lawsuit accuses President Nelson's daughter and son-in-law, Brenda and Richard Miles, of participating in the abuse of children in a Bountiful ward in the s.
The allegations claim a number of people were involved in the abuse and suggests it was covered up. Xavier High School, Xavier University and other Jesuit institutions in the Midwest will find out next week if they've employed Catholic priests accused of sexually abusing children. The Midwest Province of Jesuits said Wednesday it would release a list naming every priest in the order who has faced a credible accusation of abuse since The decision to make the list public comes as the church is under increasing scrutiny from lay Catholics, abuse survivors and criminal prosecutors to resolve a problem that has plagued it for years.
Jesuit churches and schools were notified this week that the list was coming out on Monday, Dec. The list will be posted on the religious order's website at jesuitsmidwest. A Draper man described in court documents as a "leader" in a local church was charged Wednesday with sexually abusing a boy in his congregation and being lewd around other boys. Jeffrey Byron Head, 54, a former bishop of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is charged in 3rd District Court with two counts of forcible sexual abuse, a second-degree felony; and two counts of lewdness, a class B misdemeanor.
In May of , Head went to a boy's house unannounced, asking him about a recent surgery to his genitals, according to charging documents. After asking "to see the surgery," the boy pull his pants down and Head inappropriately touched him, the charges state. A former youth pastor accused of sexually abusing a teenager from his Northern Virginia megachurch appeared in court Thursday. Two additional women who say Baird pursued a sexual relationship with them through the church were not allowed to testify. Those women were not minors at the time. Prosecutors said leaders at the Shrine of the Sacred Heart in Northwest Washington were initially notified in mid-June of allegations that Urbano Vazquez, an assistant pastor, may have sexually assaulted a teenage girl who was a member of the parish.
Alleged assaults involving two other victims occurred between June and December In a hearing before D. Superior Court Judge Juliet J. Cardinal Vincent Nichols told an inquiry on Thursday he was focused on settling legal action against the church quickly when, in , he chose not to disclose a key document to a complainant. The note showed that accusations against Father John Tolkien had been made to the church in - the only evidence of a contemporaneous complaint made about his behaviour. But despite lawyers telling Cardinal Nichols - then Archbishop of Birmingham - that the findings supported already credible claims by Birmingham man Christopher Carrie, a briefing paper recorded him saying: On Thursday, the clergyman expressed remorse about his actions as he appeared before the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, which is investigating child protection failings within the Catholic church.
For the first time, a Virginia mother is speaking about the sexual abuse her daughter endured at the hands of her church youth pastor. Earlier this year, Jordan Baird, 27, was convicted on five felony counts of indecent liberties with a minor. He later pleaded no contest to electronic solicitation of a minor. He was sentenced to eight months behind bars and forced to register as a sex offender. Gloria Harding says her family had attended The Life Church in Manassas for a decade and considered Baird a close family friend.
He wrote that attendees at the Feb. Posted by Pauline Hodgdon on December 14, 2: Her time on the set began promisingly. Dushku she would be more than a love interest.

Attempts to solve many problems found in the Catholic church today can be traced back to a meeting among U. It was five months after the Boston Globe had exposed widespread child sexual abuse by priests and a pattern of cover-ups by the church and the U.

Priest cleared of abuse allegation: The state of Victoria, where Pell was tried, has imposed a suppression order that bans all reporting and comment. Most of the sentences presented include audio of the sentence in Spanish, which allows you to learn faster by listening to native Spanish speakers. I'm going to tell you a story about a donkey and a snake.
Conference of Catholic Bishops gathered in Dallas to vote on a new set of policies. Those policies gave bishops the power to ban from ministry any priest who abused a child. They also made it a requirement for bishops to report all allegations of sexual abuse of minors to law enforcement and check the backgrounds of all staff in contact with kids.
Additionally, the priests removed from ministry would not be allowed to celebrate Mass publicly, wear clerical uniforms or be known as a priest. The Star-Telegram began its investigation into abuse at independent fundamental Baptist churches after two men were arrested in February and March on sexual abuse charges at a Mesquite, Texas, church. As more and more ex-members of the independent fundamental Baptist movement came forward to the Star-Telegram, a pattern emerged: Despite their use of the word independent, many of the churches were connected with other independent fundamental Baptist churches through colleges and pastoral friendships.
And those connections, as well as the church culture, allowed abuse to flourish and abusers to move around the country without consequence. Ex-members connected reporter Sarah Smith to other members on Facebook and through text messages.
