PopeWatch: And it goes on
ThisThis criminal was ordained in 2017, and he was 37 at the time. PopeWatch often hears from members of the clergy that a much better job than in the past is currently being done when it comes to weeding out candidates for ordination who are likely to engage in predatory acts. One would hope so, but PopeWatch finds it hard to believe that there were not red flags aplenty prior to this felon’s ordination, considering his age and the fact that a scant three years later he is a convicted sex offender. Allegedly he was doing all this from the date of his ordination forward. He obviously sought out the priesthood in order to further his depredations. That such an obvious predator escaped detection calls into question the whole process which led up to his ordination.
