I know, because they involve my case. ***** Plus Archdiocese lead law firm runs anonymous clergy case website. What are they ashamed of? By Kay Ebeling I HAVE TO SAY THIS. Sister Sheila McNiff was directly involved in my case for a few hours in 2003, the same Sister Sheila McNiff who wrote an opinion piece published in the LA Times December 18th praising the church for having obviously solved its pedophile priest problems way back in the 1980s and heres a chart to prove it. There is an active comment area at the Times for persons to respond online to McNiffs piece linked at left. The Blowback was supposed to be open for 2 weeks, but mysteriously the Times is running only a small selection of comments since the first three days. I have to say this. Theres blatant lies and coercive truth bending in Sister Sheila McNiffs op-ed piece (surprise, surprise). I know because of the way Sister Sheila McNiff handled my own case back in December 2003. She writes for the Times: As coordinator of the Victims Assistance Ministry of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, I have been privileged to walk with many of these victims, to listen to their stories... to offer support and counseling and to be available to them when needed. Whoa, wait a minute stop right there in paragraph one: When my daughter and I were homeless Sister Sheila showed up at the motel. . .

Then only pedophile data they count is from lawsuits. ***** By Kay Ebeling They wouldn't have paid for my therapy if I had sued. I had to sign a paper that they would not be liable in any other financial way, said Ann Hagan Webb. Only an omnipotent organization operating outside the law like the Catholic Church can carry out a Catch 22 like this: Archdioceses offer victims help with therapy as a way to "heal" without lawsuits. Then when it cooks up its statistics on pedophile priests, the Church only counts successful lawsuits. Catch 22. (For example Sr. McNiff's chart in the LA Times, see January 8 post.) In Ann Webbs case, they paid for her therapy, but the church says hers is a false claim. A portrait of her perpetrator greets you when you walk into Sacred Heart Church in Providence, Rhode Island. Last time Webbs husband saw that portrait he smashed his fist through the glass. Yes, he smashed a fist through the glass. Mr. Webb is a straight arrow Massachusetts citizen, a scientist and businessman who for 20 years has. . . Click cityofangels4.blogspot.com or headline above, to keep reading. Kay Ebeling Hollywood CA

Rodriguez was released to the Huntington Park parole office jurisdiction and is known to have extended family in nearby City of Commerce. I found out Friday and he was released on Sunday, said Rodriguez crime victim Eric Barragan, who lives in Mexico City. I got the call from Californias Victims office. They gave me these 800 numbers that I couldn't call from Mexico, so I called SNAP and they organized this event. The SNAP press conference took place Tuesday afternoon January 22, and was attended by 3 survivors, a survivors mom, and 4 news reporters, two with cameras. Across the street an ecology group bussed in more than a hundred protesters and a parking lot full of reporters covered their demonstration. They were protesting plastic bags. They had a six foot tall sculpture made from used plastic bags and signs with picture of a dead seal, beached and strangled by plastic bags that had been disposed of in the ocean. . . Hundreds of protesters across the street because of seals in the ocean being strangled by plastic bags, a handful at the LA cathedral to protest the early release from prison of a pedophile priest turned loose once again on Southern California thanks to the lax tactics and blatant neglect of the catholic archdiocese and the criminal justice system in California.

Right. What about the rest of the crimes? ***** By Kay Ebeling No we cant put this all behind us now, or find closure, whether with or without a settlement, dear bishops and cardinals, et al. The church has to take responsibility for what it did, not just to the 20 or 30 thousand people who are walking around the world damaged from sex abuse by pedophile priests in the Catholic church, but its responsibility to the entire American culture. By allowing pedophiles to operate, protecting them, and covering their crimes, the church is in part responsible for the epidemic of sex crimes against chilren we have in this country today. Pedophiles network. Even before the internet they found each other and compared notes. So when word got out that priests were getting away with it...

Among pedophile priests whove evaded prosecution in the US by running to Mexico: Nicolas Aguilar, Gerardo Beltran, Jesus Armando Dominguez, a Salesian whose cases are set for jury trial in LA August 2008, Jose Luis Urbina, Xavier Ochoa, and Fidencio Simon Silva, who is discussed at the end of the first video in the top row above. (We found 10 short videos about pedophile priests and linked them here at the top of City of Angels Blog, for your weekend viewing.) There's more than a hundred priests accused of molesting kids who fled from the US to Mexico, said Eric Barragan who since July of 2007 has run an office of SNAP* in Mexico City. Barragan founded the branch with money from a settlement with the LA Archdiocese in Fall of 2006. Hes already working with 15 families there. Priests wanted for sex crimes in the US today work in Mexico in orphanages, schools, hospitals, as psychologists, as teachers. Also they have churches in provincia, he added, which means. . .

The sex abuse of minors by Catholic priests is much less widespread today than it was 10 or 20 years ago. He then goes the direction so many have gone before, the way of tipping tea with the bishops to get Catholic reform. They just dont get it. The quote is from the new book The Faithful Departed by Philip Lawler and his next sentence is: The second scandal is the prevalence of homosexuality among Catholic priests. Huh? Id much rather have a pastor who is gay than one who is lying to families to get to their children and rape them. How can anybody equate the two crises when the gay priest isnt doing anything illegal and ... Click cityofangels4.blogspot.com to continue reading Kay Ebeling Hollywood CA

Posts: 8 (02/10/08 09:32:51) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	Click headline to go to blog Kathy Shaw is back at Abuse Tracker: The tracker lady just has to keep on tracking "Kathy Shaw* (pictured above) is "the one constant through three host servers" --Bill Mitchell, Poynter Institute* By Kay Ebeling It has taken a string of miracles, what atheists call coincidences, for the pedophile priest story to unfold. The internet allowed individuals to find each other, persons were in the right place at the right time, others persevered. A key player from the beginning has been Kathy Shaw, who covered the story from the beginning working the religion beat for Worcester Telegram & Gazette. A resourceful reporter, Shaw found Abuse Tracker as soon as Poynter Institute started it as a research tool for journalists in 2002. Shaw was one of the first to contribute to the Tracker and she just stayed with it.* Today Shaw produces the daily Abuse Tracker, a 24-hour 7-day a week volunteer post which was covered by Anne Barrett Doyle and Terry McKiernan of Bishop Accountability the last six weeks while Shaw recovered from a fall on "black ice" that left her with two broken bones in her right wrist. A graduate of Assumption College in Worcester, Shaw says... Click http://cityofangels4.blogspot.com to continue reading Kay Ebeling Hollywood CA
