The Deification of Gary McKnight Must Stop

Thumbnail image for 2007_01_25_Arellano_McKnightFall_ph_Coach.jpgBoth the Los Angeles Times and the Orange County Register have tripped over themselves this month in the attempt to give the swooning-est review of Mater Dei High's current varsity basketball squad and its head coach, Gary McKnight. The Times says McKnight "is used to ridiculous riches,"while Reg columnist Mark Whicker contributed another Valentine, noting the largest Catholic school west of Chicago were "pioneers in making high school basketball a nationally played sport, for good or ill."

Problem is, the Times and Register sports sections didn't bother, either this month or ever, to mention McKnight's true ill: allowing a known statutory rapist back on campus. The man, of course, is Jeff Andrade, whom Mater Dei officials let go in 1996 after finding out he was schtupping a student, a crime for which Diocese of Orange Bishop Tod D. Brown had to pay out a couple of million dollars. A high school coach that doesn't seem to mind statutory rape and threatens to sue journalists who expose him for such crap--geez, Times and Reg sports desk, don't you think parents should know this pertinent bit of information? The only mitigating factor in this is that when you Google "Gary McKnight," my cover story on the Round Mound of Inbound pops up first. Ha! Not only does God exist, but He apparently graduated from Servite High...

As awful as it is, we shouldn't be surprised.

Perpetrators and their protectors (like McKnight, Msgr. John Urell and fmr MD now Santa Margarita administrator Lu Dominguez) have always been given god-like status at the school - and in the Diocese of Orange in general.

Coaches, principals and choir directors bring in the $$ and the prestige. How dare we victims complain because we can't keep them out of our pants?

Apparently, Mater Dei takes the "long view:"

Victims go away, suffer with addictions, commit suicide, and hide from society.

But a winning basketball coach is forever.

ALL ABOUT POLITICS! says:

There is no doubt that the Diocese of Orange is wealthier today than before paying out the $100 million clergy sex abuse settlement in 2004 and the $7 million in October 2007. See the latest, "DIOCESE OF ORANGE TOOTS ITS OWN HORN!" at:
http://www.calcatholic.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?id=c86709f9-9695-4504-b442-760548c97d1f

One shouldn't be surprised if the LA Times and/or OC Register have been threatened by politically connected contributors, attorneys and members of the Diocesan hierarchy, with litigation for reporting on matters of public interest and safety that negatively reflects on the powerful and discriminatory Diocese of Orange and its many politically connected employees. If the Times and Register were threatened, then for survival reasons, the good press about the Diocese of Orange and its powerhouse sports teams will continue... it is called PAYBACK TIME! The Diocese of Orange can be very effective when it comes to exploiting others.

In the minds of many, maybe it is another one of those backroom dirty deals that the Diocese orchestrated with media contacts, law enforcement and politicians that enabled sex crimes against children to disappear, without accountability in courts of law. Afterall, how many employees of the Diocese of Orange were criminally prosecuted by Catholic District Attorney Anthony Rackauckas?

For those who know the truth, continue to pray for the children, adults, families and employees that are continually blackmailed, intimidated and forced to continue employment in a discriminatory workplace. In my opinion, the Diocese of Orange sold its soul and common decency responsibilities to the devil long ago.

"Afterall, how many employees of the Diocese of Orange were criminally prosecuted by Catholic District Attorney Anthony Rackauckas?"

The Anthony Rackauckas was democratically elected same as was Adolf Hitler.

As long as the people are morons the democracy will function moronically.

I know!... I was the most intelligent and qualified candidate for the Santa Ana Mayor in 2008 yet the morons were elected.

"Be careful what you pray for, you might just get it"

So you got Anthony Rackauckas and Miguel Pulido so enjoy.

I should add: "..... after finding out he was schtupping a student"

"schtupping"?... Interesting Gustavo! Having the following choice of words you have elected to use KFI pendejo Bill Handel Yiddish expression:

"fuck, fucking, nookie, nooky, piece of ass, piece of tail, roll in the hay, screwing, shag, ass, screw
carnal knowledge, coition, coitus, sex act, sexual congress, sexual intercourse, sexual relation, copulation, intercourse, relation, congress"

Yiddish language?..... It looks like you are loosing your Mexican identity, Gustavo.

I had to do a double take on this blog's title.

At first, I thought it read "The Defacation of Gary McKnight Must Stop".

Then I realized that no matter the title, it would be correct, because either way, McKnight stinks.

Stanley Fiala says:

CHS, please notice that I am referring to Yiddish language and not Jewis people.

The Yiddish language is actually pigeon German language spoken by Jews living in Germany. It is same like speaking Ebonics in the USA.

The Yiddish language is not sinonimous with Hebrew or East European Semitic languages!

Since a majority of Yiddish speaking Jews emigrated to Argentina, Brazil and New York City there is insignificant influence of the Yiddish on the Spanish language.

FYI, the KFI pendejo Bill Handel is Latino from the Brazil who adopted some Yiddish from his parents to spice-up his KFI shtick. (shtick = Yiddish)

As we say in Santa Ana -- Education First

Albino Luciani says:

Time for another short (because of Advent and I'm busy with photo ops in the papal crypt with Japenses tourists) 'blog within a blog' installment, from: 'Ask A Murdered Pope?!"

Today's topic comes from a KOOL AID drinking "Choir Mom" at Mater Dei!

Yes, there is indeed a Madrigal Feast at the Christian (not Roman Catholic) founded institution called Chapman, which was founded on the fundamental principle of EQUALITY between men and women....a far cry from the uncorrected serial pedophile enabling, aid & abetting USCCB (Unremoved Sexual Criminal Cabal) and Roman La Cosa Nostra Curia, still ripping off, and diverting, multiple billions of tax free laity offetory dollars, to the continued fraud, endagerment, obstruction of justice, tax evasion, perjury, and racketeering, they have perfected.

While drinking your KOOL AID/egg nog, at this event, you can sing along with the choir,
and have a GAY olde time, with Tod Brown, and the other clerical evils, of the Orange Diocese, to such tunes as:

Santa Baby (Keep Father Away From)
Santa's Got A New Bag (Full Of Cash)
Ave Indictments
I Saw Mommy Kissing Sister
And So This Is Christass
Nutcracker
You Have The Right To Remain Silent Night
O Liitle Town Of Litigation
Have Yourselves A Merry Little Sodomy
Go Tell It On The Witness Stand
Rudolph, The Red Faced Plantiff
Jingle Hell
Winter Wonderhands
The First Hotel
A Midnight Fear
Holly Jolly Peds
Angels On Lies
Do You Hear What I Hear?
God Damn Ye Merry Gentlemen
Hark! The Hearld Angels In Sing-Sing
Cry To The World
Silver Coins (30)
The 12 Days Of Prosecution
Whose Children Were These?
Little Hummer Boy
Silent Fright
Let It Spin
Away Protect The Maimer
It's Beginning To Feel Alot Like RICO

Sigh,

SISTER MAUREEN PAUL TURLISH says:

IS BISHOP BROWN JUST ANOTHER ENABLER, TOO?


From the Archdiocese of Boston to the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and the Diocese of Orange, California, billions of dollars have been spent in attempts to avoid the public revelation of files and records of known sexual predators and depositions of the some of the highest U.S. Catholic Church leaders.

Our church leaders protected and enabled known rapists and child molesters for much of their clerical careers while giving no thought to the trail of broken bodies and souls these sociopaths left in their wake.

Can one believe the excuses and rationalizations that would indicate an incompetence beyond belief or are the hierarchs just representative of a clerical system corrupted beyond imagination?

The enablers continue to give excuses for their decisions but no valid reasons for not following the laws in place at the times crimes against children were committed.

The Roman Catholic Church, secular, ordered, institutional, devotional, monastic, seminarial, cloistered, is the single largest criminally unprosecuted, or yet punished, pedophile ring on the planet.

Do Not Donate Laity, starve the frick'n guilty cardinal and bishop perpetrators, in the many multiple hundreds, out!

That is very ignorant to speak of Coach Mc Knight in that way. He's a Great guy and he cares a great deal for his students/players. Referring to him as fat, porky pig, etc. only shows ignorace and disrespect on your part and clearly does not have anything to do with the topic. Monarchs are the BEST. GO MONARCHS!!!!

McNugget says:

First of all, Gary McNugget is overrated. That's right, overrated. My grandmother would win championships
wtih McNugget's talent. Mater Dei is a farce. A fraud.
Improprieties, the best that money can buy. Enabling Coaches to bang 15 year olds. Geeze, that girl was quite
the little ho. Anyhow, the red faced mound of inbound food
should be ashamed, heck, impersonating a true , sound,
fit? coach. For the love of god, can't anybody see through
all those lipids?. You peel off that 200 pound bacon suite
he dresses in and what do you have? Not a great coach.
what you have is somebody who just happened to be sitting
in the chair when the music stopped, probably stuffing his face with birthday cake.
