NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The New Orleans Saints are going to court to keep the public from seeing hundreds of emails that allegedly show team executives doing public relations damage control for the area’s Roman Catholic archdiocese to help it contain the fallout from a burgeoning sexual abuse crisis. Attorneys for about two dozen men suing the church say in court filings that the 276 documents they obtained through discovery show that the NFL team, whose owner is devoutly Catholic, aided the Archdiocese of New Orleans in its “pattern and practice of concealing its crimes.” “Obviously, the Saints should not...

A teenager in France has been arrested after authorities say he tortured and killed a priest accused of sexually abusing him and his father. The revenge killing occurred on Nov. 4 at 91-year-old priest Roger Matassoli’s house in Agnetz, Oise, France, where the 19-year-old, identified only as Alexandre V., was working as a housekeeper, according to the Daily Mail.

Matassoli was previously accused by at least four others of sexual abuse between 1960...

Make no mistake about it, this is a multi-front cultural, political and economic war against the God of Abraham, His Bible, against His Son Jesus Christ, and against His Church that He shed His own blood to create. Whenever you see the 6-color rainbow Pride Flag, just remember that you are looking at a battle flag under which LGBTQ+ soldiers are marching to war, and that war is on biblical Christianity and the King James Bible. They do not want tolerance, acceptance or equality, they want control and aim to take it by any means necessary. Wake up, church, you...

ROME - A scandal over alleged sexual molestation and abuse at the Vatican’s youth seminary is growing, with more former papal altar boys alleging inappropriate behavior by priests inside the Vatican walls. Le Iene, an Italian investigative television program, plans to air the new allegations Sunday; the show provided the broadcast to The Associated Press ahead of time. The Vatican announced in September that its criminal prosecutor was seeking to indict a former senior seminarian and the then-rector of the St. Pius X seminary on sexual abuse charges. The announcement came two years after Le Iene first featured former seminarians...

The brains of pedophiles are hardwired from the womb and nothing can change them, according to a study by a prominent doctor. Will this research serve to give child sex predators more rights than their victims? Dr. James Cantor, a neuroscientist at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), has triggered controversy with a recent interview in which he argues, based on MRI brain scans of convicted child molesters, that “pedophilia begins in the womb.” Strangely, however, no brains of infants or children were examined in the study. At one point in the interview, it seemed that Cantor was...

The Herald-Mail reports that 43-year-old Jason Henry Cochrane of Millersville is charged with sex abuse of a minor, second-degree rape and other counts in Washington County.

Authorities have arrested more than 100 people in a massive child sex trafficking sting in central Ohio. Yes, you heard correctly: 100 people, in the state of Ohio, for child sex trafficking. The Homeland Security special agent in charge of the investigation warned, "We are just scratching the surface... it's that way across the country." Human trafficking, particularly for sex, is a global enterprise -- and the United States is, unfortunately, the leader in driving demand. Because human trafficking is no small business, this Ohio sting operation involved more than 30 law enforcement agencies. As reported by The Columbus Dispatch,...

The push by mainstream media and leftist academics to normalize pedophilia as an acceptable sexual identity appears to be reaching a new level of intensity, as an American student shared a powerpoint slide from a college class describing pedophilia in strikingly ambiguous terms on Friday. Alex Malazza, a self-identifying Catholic student of San Diego, posted evidence of the sick propaganda on his Twitter account. He specified that the “lesson” took place at a state university- while it’s unclear exactly where he’s a student, the major state university in his city is San Diego State University. Alex @alexjmazzara An actual topic...

‘Good Morning America’ host denies being friends with Epstein, ex-president downplayed travels together, and royal couple long ago expressed regret The new arrest of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein has resurrected multiple reports about the wealthy and powerful people who once enjoyed the financier’s friendship or who socialized with him over the years, both before and after he was investigated in the mid-2000s for sexually abusing multiple underage girls at his estate in Palm Beach, Florida. For example, a much-cited Daily Beast report described how Epstein hosted a dinner party for longtime friend Prince Andrew in 2010 at his nine-story...

Prince Andrew's lawyers have raised doubts over the photograph showing him posing with sex slave accuser Virginia Roberts in 2001, it is claimed. The Duke of York's legal team are said to have asked to be shown the original image saying the royal has 'absolutely no recollection' of it ever being taken. Sources close to Andrew today said there are questions over the veracity of the photo, amid claims the hand round his accuser's waist does 'not look right.' Virginia Roberts Giuffre claimed in a 2015 lawsuit that she had sex with the prince when she was 17 during a...

The Democratic majority on North Carolina's supreme court ruled to let a child porn offender go free on a technicality and allowed serial sexual offenders to avoid GPS monitoring in two decisions released in August. The decisions illustrate a major shift in the state's supreme court, which has swung decisively into Democratic hands. Democrats hold a 6-1 majority on the state supreme court, up from the 4-3 advantage liberals had before Anita Earls's election. The sole GOP holdout is Judge Paul M. Newby. The court's new composition might help explain its reasoning in the two decisions handed down in August;...

AUSTIN, Texas (ChurchMilitant.com) - "'Want to see a sweet, quiet town ripped asunder? 'Want to see a place anyone would want to live in and open a small business doxed and divided?"

These are the sentiments of Tracy Shannon, head of Texas MassResistance, in speaking with Church Militant Friday about the latest news on the drag queen story hour (DQSH) front. One new detail...

“It was huge – at least 5-by-5, 6-by-6 – in the main house, at the bottom of the stairs in the basement near the laundry,” the contractor, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told the network. “We would talk about how creepy it was, this strange painting with nothing else around it. From the minute you got there, you felt the uneasy vibe.”
