These are the priests named Thursday by the Diocese of San Jose as credibly accused of abusing children during their time in the diocese.
Leonel Noia
While a pastor at the former St. Patrick parish in San Jose, Noia was arrested and convicted in 1976 after two boys reported he sexually abused them on a camping trip. When he got out of jail in 1978, he was transferred to three other San Jose parishes: St. Julie Billiart until 1982, St. Anthony until 1986 and Five Wounds, where he served for 16 years until 2002, when the church banned all priest child molesters from ministry. Each time Noia was introduced at a new parish, according to a newspaper account in 2004, either he or the pastor announced to the parish his past record. The same news account says he was accused of sexual misconduct with two boys while he was at St. Anthony’s parish in 1985, although the the family didn’t pursue compensation or a lawsuit and those accusations are not listed in the diocese account.

He started in Fresno at my high school in 1964 and quickly wasted no time abusing some of us. Several of us participated in a court case a few years ago to help get him removed as he was apparently still doing his evil on children.
If there is a God and a flaming Catholic Hell he certainly didn’t believe in it.
Is there an antonym for RIP?
B.I.H.
When I see a catholic priest the first thing that comes to mind is, how many children has he molested.
I was an Altar Boy with Dondero. Thankfully, I was never accosted.
Are you, as the pope said, “morally rigid”.
It is past time that this is dealt with. I have read estimates that up to 80% of our bishops are gay.
We may be W/o priests in some places but whatever it takes to clean it out will be worth the sacrifice.
I didn’t put the sarcasm mark on my first sentence.
I applaud the San Jose diocese for coming out on this.
Most cases brought against these sicko priests are settled out of court for $$$ so that there are no criminal charges.
Having these cases become criminal rather than civil will do much to remove them to prisons where they can be properly treated as child molestors.
I’d be willing to bet 80% of all priests are gay. 1 % are blissfully ignorant of them. 19% remaining turn a blind eye and are complicit.
