Orange County Bishops and Their Get-Out-of-Jail-Free Card: A History

By Gustavo Arellano, Thursday, Nov. 20 2008 @ 7:41AM

Categories:

bishop_brown_with_arrow.jpgI'm getting disappointed with Diocese of Orange Bishop Tod D. Brown. As of recently, I've been reporting more on the kooky actions of former Orange bishops, whether it was homo-hating or homo-hypocrisy, than the current head of the county's Catholics. So it hurts me to report that the latest in Orange County Catholic idiocies again emanates from alumni--in this case Fresno Bishop John Steinbock and his $10,000 donation to the St. Luke's Institute.

St. Luke's is notorious as the place where the Catholic hierarchy send their pedo-priests off for treatment, and it has a special place in Orange County Catholic history. It's where Bishop William Johnson sent Eleuterio Ramos to unsuccessfully rejigger his child-molesting mind in the late 1970s. It's where Bishop Norman McFarland sent Monsignor Michael Harris to find out what the Orange diocese already knew--that Harris was a boy-lover. It was where Placentia native Manuel Moreno sent off Tucson's most notorious pedo-priest while head of the Diocese of Tucson. Why, even Brown sent off a priest to the Maryland center after investigators found the priest had downloaded child porn.

The similarity in all these cases, save for the Orange County connection? In all cases, instead of alerting the police, each bishop sent off an offender to "rehabilitation." St. Luke's is the Get-out-of-Jail-Free card for generations of Orange County bishops, so kudos to Steinbock for at least admitting the institute has saved his ass in the past. So stop being an ingrate, Brown, and pay your respect!

Great piece Gustavo. I deposed Rosetti in 2001. His testimony was shocking. Among other things he revealed that St. Luke's does not report known pedophiles to law enforcement. Every state in the U.S. has a mandatory reporting law that requires mental health providers, clergy and others to report to law enforcement when they have a "reasonable suspicion" that someone is or has molested children. St Lukes takes the position if the priest is from a state outside of Maryland (where it is located) they have no obligation to report. This is an easy way for Bishop's to deal with pedophile priests, keep them out of jail and most importantly keep the victims in the dark.

In Harris' case they issued a 20 plus page report to Mnsgr. John Urell and Rosetti concluded that Harris was a pedophile and that the victims who had come forward were "the tip of the iceberg". Urell and the Diocese surpressed the report and went on to call Harris an "icon to the priesthood". They destroyed the victims who had come forward in the mid-90's allowed Harris to get a PHD in child development and make millions operating a tax payer funded "family mobile home park" business called Caritas.

St. Lukes has protected pedophile priests since it's inception. The fact that Bishop's like Steinbock would give it money is a grave indication that molesters are still active in the priesthood and that children are not safe. Scary.

Bishop Brown's problems are slowly getting worse...lt appears that an appellate court panel awarded PUNITIVE damages to Mrs. Betty Pritel, for concealing the sale of her husband's pre-purchased cemetery plot.

Will the faithful in the pews finally send a message to Bishop Brown? We can only hope so. See http://www.sendthebishopsamessage.com/join_us.html

Albino Luciani says:

Ciao E Tutti!

It is I, Albino, e-mailing from Heaven, yet again, in another chapter of a 'blog within a blog': 'ASK A MURDERED POPE?'!

Today's lament comes to us from that saint-in-the-making and creator of '?Ask A Mexican?', our very own true brother in Christ, Gustavo Arellano...

Gustavo writes of his "disappointement" about Tod D. Brown, Orange Diocese office holder, curia pedophile and child sexual assault racketeer, obstructor of justice, aid & abettor, serial felon, diverter of designated funds, tax evader, perjurer, defrauder, child endangerer, etc. not giving credit where credit is due?

DI SANTO! IMAGINE THAT?! A Creep With A Crook, Who Is Also What He Carries, Failing To Credit Fellow Co-Conspirators?!

I mean, what is the world coming to? When the USCCB (Unremoved Sexual Criminal Cabal Bishops) Can't Even Give Thanks To Fellow Demonic Evil Miters & Red Hats?!

Speaking of RED HATS, congratulations on the just filed lawsuit against the Diocese Of Stockton, under then Roger M. 'Mahal', 'Teflon', HIS SLICKNESS, Mahony!

Yes, if you have not seen the 2006 US Academy Award BEST DOCUMENTARY nominated: 'DELIVER US FROM EVIL' on Fr. Oliver O'Grady and his (with diverted laity offentory donations) annuity pensioning - hush monies and ferreting out of the country to Ireland, enabler Rog Mahal Mahony, out on DVD, you must. Net Flix, Blockbuster, Comcast, or FREE at your local public library.

Coming out the first week of this December in national move theaters, check out 'DOUBT' Starring US Academy Award Winning BEST ACTRESS Meryl Streep and US Academy Award Winning BEST ACTOR Phillip Seymor Hoffman.

Also out on DVD is the 2007 Cannes Film Festival Winning 'VOWS OF SILENCE' that documents the pathological lying Norberto Rivera's tolerance of pedophile and child sexual assault rings, throughout the clerical, secular, institutional, monastic, and ordered church of Mexico. But "there is no crime in all of the Mexican Church" according to Noberto - right; tell that to your boss SATAN, Noberto.

Other recent empircal data can be found at www.amazon.com, with over 100+ recently published, on the Curia Ongoing Crime Spree, from such salient and cogent authors as: RC Bishops Jeffery Robinson (Australia), Thomas Gumbleton (USA) as well as Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini (Milano, Italia, also remarks in The Tablet).

Other truthful authors include: Fr. Richard Sipe, Dr. Robert Grant, MD, Attorney Marci Hamilton, Jason Berry, David Yallop, Dr. Leon Podles, Fr. Thomas Reese, SJ, Fr/Dr Howard Bleichner, SS, & Fr/Dr/Canon Lawyer Thomas Doyle, OP, to name only a few, of many more.

At www.bishop-accountability.org/abuse tracker you can get daily verifed and vetted domestic and global updates on the pilfering of BILLIONS OF DIVERTED LAITY DOLLARS, with no correction, no end in sight, and no removal of many hundreds of overtly guilty miters and red hats.

St. Paul to the Ephesians, 5:11, reminds us all: "Do not deal in fruitless deeds of darkness, but expose them!"

Some 1,700, or so, years later, Edmund Burke correctly remarked: "The only condition for the triumph of evil is for good men (or women) to do nothing!"

Remember, the USCCB and Roman Curia Motto & Credo remains: Isaiah 28:15!

So what is THE SOLUTION? As St. Peter Damien correctly asserted: "STOP DONATING LAITY!"

No Curia Accountability & Removal? No Problemo! No Laity Monies Either!

Fiat Lux & Veritas!

Albino Luciani,
MURDERED POPE

Sandra says:

So, a child is crouched on the floor, of say, a choir loft (that's what I remember) in a, let's say, fetal position, bleeding Vaginally And/Or Anally, and the Roman Catholic Hierarchy (Lowerarchy) knew that the offending priest, the cause of this scenario, had done this before But the hierarchy allowed the perver priest to go on to yet another parish, and another victim/victims. This scenario is what the Devout Roman Catholic tries not to imagine: A child (let's say 9 years old, as I was) bleeding on the floor, of said "choir loft" , crying and whimpering, as the pervert priest zips up his pants and says, "Don't tell anyone about this.Well, No matter! They won't believe you anyway". Even though he told you that, if you don't let him have his way with you, he will get your little sister in First Grade. But you try to tell and have someone listen to you anyway. You go to the church, and what do they ask? "Who else did you tell"? And, "Did he take pictures"? And there you have THE TYPICAL INTERVIEW WITH THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE CHURCH. We tried to report what was done to us. We were promised the priest/priests would be taken care of and that what happened to us would never happen again. Foolish Children! You Believed The Church Would Protect You. Would Help You!

William F. Buckley, Jr. says:

Sandra: HELL has a special place for corrupt to the core, and overtly EVIL souls like Roger M. Mahony and Tod D. Brown...

In the interim Sandra, the most effective WAY to hurt these MONSTERS, is to take away all their revenue, from an en-masse laity revolts!
