​Over the past couple of weeks, I've received numerous taunting emails from pendejos associated with JSerra Catholic High School over Ricardo Aldana, the school's beloved Spanish teacher who was arrested this past December for molesting a 14-year-old student. They insisted that Aldana was innocent, and that DA Tony Rackaukas would file no charges--oh, and that the victim was a ho.

Well, they're gonna sing a different tune this weekend: Aldana has been charged with seven counts of lewd acts on a child.

​If there were justice in this world, Monsignor John Urell would've been in San Quentin long ago, in prison in a culture where child molesters and their protectors aren't welcomed with open arms like they are at the Diocese of Orange. But there is no justice, and so not only does John Urell remain a monsignor, not only does he remain a pastor at St. Timothy's in Laguna Niguel, but he also continues to sits on the board of a private Catholic elementary school in the county.

Does Urell have no shame? The answer, of course, is no.

Flores

​The era of Cirilo Flores--just named coadjutor bishop of the Diocese of San Diego--is ending the same way it started: with people trying to remember who he was.

Flores joined the Diocese of Orange in 2009 as an auxiliary bishop, really just filling the token Mexi bishop seat for head pedo-protector Tod D. Brown (the same way Dominic Luong is there to make Vietnamese Catholics happy). He did nothing of note in his three years here (tomorrow is the anniversary of his appointment by Pope Benedict XVI)--no outspoken protector of undocumented immigrants like his predecessor, Jaime Soto, or a pedophile protector supreme like Brownie. No, his pedophile protecting ways was while he was a plain ol' priest.

​UPDATE: The Weekly has just spoken to the victim's mother, who claims she warned school officials as early as the fall that something was amiss between her daughter and Aldana.

The mother (whom the Weekly isn't identifying) says that in early September, she contacted JSerra president/CEO Frank Talarico about suspicions she had regarding Aldana's undue interest in her daughter. After weeks of playing phone tag, the mother finally talked to Talarico.

"You either have a teacher who's crossing boundaries," the mother says she told JSerra's principal, "or you have a predator."

Aldana

​As the Weekly first reported yesterday, former JSerra High teacher and coach Ricardo Aldana was fired yesterday after getting arrested for allegedly having sex with a 14-year-old girl. His apologists are already in full force (a subject for another post), but so is another curious contingent: former students at Hawthorne High, where Aldana once teached, who insist that Aldana was fired from the school early last decade for engaging in sex with a student.

In other words, he's a pendejo who frequently trashes sex-abuse victims and their supporters, fumes about false outrages, and loves to blather. So it was about time Donohue came up to the plate and swung at me--and struck out. More >>

​The big news in Catholic Sacramento this week was the arrest of Father Uriel Ojeda, a priest in the Diocese of Sacramento, for multiple molestations of a 14-year-old girl. The arrest drew all sorts of shocked comments, none more maudlin than the ones uttered by Bishop Jaime Soto (right), the Orange County native who long served as a bishop in the Orange diocese.

""For people who work very, very hard to earn trust, it takes our breath away," Soto told the Sacramento Bee. "It's devastating." 

To paraphrase Louise Jefferson, "Padre, please."

​Sure, so Diocese of Orange Bishop Tod D. Brown thinks he scored a coup by purchasing the Crystal Cathedral from the Schuller clan. But the move isn't being universally celebrated by conservative Catholics, many whom long derided the Crystal Cathedral as the antithesis of Catholic church beauty and whom are now understandably aghast that the building will now be the seat of Orange County Catholicism.

One of those critics, however, is an important one: the Vatican.

Brownie: Begin the deluge!

​So the big news today, as Clockwork Coker posted earlier, is that the Diocese of Orange bought the Crystal Cathedral, a development we correctly predicted months ago, and long before any other media outlets. Sure, that's a bit of gloating, but it's nothing like the pedo-apologists who despise me for showing how Bishop Tod D. Brown, Mater Dei, and all the things they love aided and abetted pedophile priests, and are currently leaving me all sorts of hilarious voicemail and email rubbing the sale in my face. Um, yeah...

Typical is the following letter, which assumes I'm angry that Brownie won the bidding war against Chapman University--which couldn't be farther from the truth.

Baker: Looks like John Wayne Gacy, no?

​Michael Stephen Baker was one of the most notorious pedophile priests in Southern California history, a monster who single-handedly showed what a lying sack-o'-shot Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahony was in protecting pedo-priests from the law.

Baker is now also an Orange County resident. Yay!

Once a pedophile, always a pedophile, of course, and Baker was arrested yesterday for violating the terms of his probation, according to sources. He's currently in Orange County Jail.
