The Orange Diocese's Record-Breaking Streak

Categories: Main

This year's edition of our annual Scariest People issue includes two entries from the Catholic Diocese of Orange: lead sex-abuse lawyer Peter Callahan and Varsity Gold, the high-school fundraising outfit that hired and proudly employees statutory rapist (and former Mater Dei boys' assistant basketball coach) Jeff Andrade. With those two entries, the Orange diocese enters the Weekly's record books as the organization with the longest consecutive streak of appearances in Scariest. The previous entries:

2006: The aforementioned Andrade.

2005: Former diocesan spokesman Joseph Fenton and parents at St. John the Baptist elementary school in Costa Mesa.

2004: Orange Bishop Tod D. Brown and diocesan counsel Maria Schinderle.

Amazingly, the Orange diocese even beats out two other Scariest standbys: the District Attorney's office and the Orange County Sheriff Department. In fairness to the OCSD, however, we estimate that Sheriff Mike Carona has made more individual appearances than anyone else--including this year.

Shocked Catholic says:

Mr. Arellano.... thanks for the stats on the Diocese of Orange's longest appearance streak at the OC Weekly. It is difficult to understand why the Diocese of Orange is struggling with its public image.... especially considering the great place it must be to work and attend schools.

The following is taken from the Diocese of Orange website at www.rcbo.org, Human Resources link:

To encourage an environment that allows employees to fully utilize their talents; IS THIS WHY THE DIOCESE ALLOWED ANDRADE TO REMAIN EMPLOYED, to "utilize his talents."?

To provide a mechanism to pay wages and benefits that are cost effective and fair to all employees; COST EFFECTIVE FOR WHO? THE DIOCESE OF ORANGE OR THE FAITHFUL IN THE PEWS?

To promote just and fair treatment for each employee in accordance with the teachings of Jesus Christ; JESUS CHRIST WOULD HAVE NEVER ALLOWED A SEXUAL PREDATOR TO CONTINUE SEXUALLY ABUSING INNOCENT CHILDREN, WHILE COLLECTING SALARIES AND WAGES.

To administer benefits in compliance with applicable civil laws; WHAT BENEFITS? WHAT CIVIL LAWS? THE DIOCESE STILL DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIRE THE EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE FAILED TO PROTECT CHILDREN IN THE PAST?

To utilize Diocesan resources responsibly and
To avoid unnecessary risk to the Ordinary and the Diocese. AVOID MONETARY RISKS AT ALL COSTS, FIRE THE EMPLOYEES WHO SPEAK OUT TO PROTECT CHILDREN AND BUILD THE FINANCIAL PORTFOLIOS OF LOYAL EMPLOYEES WHO FAIL TO REPORT CHILD ENDANGERMENT TO LAW ENFORCEMENT.

And if anyone has a question about the Mission Statement for the Diocese of Orange, one can always contact Jules Benscoter.... her EMAIL ADDRESS IS PROTECTED FROM SPAM BOTS and you will need JAVASCRIPT to view it. IS THERE ANY SPYWARE ON THE DIOCESAN WEBSITE, WITHOUT PUBLIC DISCLOSURE?

Well well well,

I would like to thank the Catholics who keep giving on Sunday. Thank You for your money. It was nice of you to give it and not ask how they spent it!

Here's one way they spend it!

They have continued to pay priests stipend’s that have been credibly accused of raping children.

They still pay because they can't have any enemies that know that much and could give up to much potentially damaging information on priests having sex with women or men and or children. Kind of an insurance policy to keep the bodies buried.

Can't very well talk about the people who pay you! Right?

Thanks for the continued support of abusing children.

Just like the Germans turning their heads when the Jews were being killed.
