Dear Friends,
I just received this notice from Dr. Jeffrey Bond, President of the College of Saint Justin Martyr, and thought I would pass it along to all of you:
Many of you have probably already heard about the suppressed Society of St. John's latest initiative. Having been formally suppressed last May, the SSJ is now presenting itself as a "civil corporation" that is "following the Pope." Carlos Urrutigoity and Eric Ensey, both of whom were sued in federal court for homosexual molestation, are the first two pictured on the new SSJ web site ( www.ssjohn.org). The others pictured there are Dominic Carey, Basel Sarweh, Anthony Myers, Kevin Lieberman, and Paul McCleary. All of these individuals were past members of the SSJ. Noticeably absent from the current list are two former priests of the SSJ, Daniel Fullerton and Dominic O'Connor.
We long ago exposed the SSJ as a homosexual cult. The overwhelming evidence of their sexual and financial misconduct is set forth at www.SaintJustinMartyr.org/news/notices.html. When Bishop Joseph Martino of Scranton became convinced that Urrutigoity and Ensey were guilty as charged, he suppressed the SSJ. When the SSJ appealed the decision, the Vatican upheld the suppression. (For details see http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=14665342&BRD=2185&PAG=461&dept_id=416046&rfi=6.) Since Bishop Martino has denied the SSJ priests' request to reestablish themselves in another diocese, it is clear that the SSJ is acting on its own authority. Urrutigoity and Ensey do not have permission to function as priests, yet both men are pictured celebrating Mass as if they are priests in good standing.
The SSJ's new web site gives Maple Hill, Kansas as their new location in the United States. They are asking for donations so that they can build a priory, chapel and classrooms in Paraguay. Having wasted over five million dollars of Catholic donations to build a "city on the hill" in Shohola, PA (where not one building was ever constructed), the SSJ is now ready to begin abusing Catholic families once again.
Please warn anyone you know who might be approached by the SSJ, especially those living in the Maple Hill area. In addition to the names given above, families should be forewarned about Joseph and Anthony Mioni who, I have been told, are living in the same area. These former employees of the SSJ, despite their knowledge of SSJ priests sharing their beds with young men, continued to support the SSJ. In fact, Anthony Mioni has founded a company (Sacros, formerly known as Patmos) that sells a missal for children that presents the perverts of the SSJ as model priests.
Pax vobiscum,
Dr. Jeffrey M. Bond
There are still those who argue that we shouldn't ever criticize a priest. That's a half truth. We must always respect the priesthood. But some priests are truly horrible people.
ReplyDeleteThose who insist that we should never criticize a priest serve as enablers of priests who abuse children. In such cases, or when a priest is actively opposing magisterial teaching and confusing souls, we need to speak up.
To do so is to show TRUE RESPECT for the priesthood of Christ. To remain silent while some priests abuse children or preach heresy is demonic.
Jesus said the truth will set us free (John 8:32). But this only if we abide in Him. And if it's the truth which sets us free, why then are we so afraid of truth?
I'm glad that Dr. Bond is exposing the SSJ still. And I would encourage anyone who reads my words to visit his site and read the notices regarding the SSJ and the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter - which has had its own problems.
