To repeat my post #17, I was mistaken on the name. Confused Eugene Clark with this guy. Please disregard.

A more SEDATE environment????

I'm in the Erie diocese, perhaps 'sedate' is a buzz word for favorable? I can imagine how 'severe' will be his admonition, let alone punishment, if, if found guilty. (Of course, guilty until proven...) *eyeroll*

MSgt Cavanaugh asked for a Canon...

"MSgt?" Wouldn't a court martial be more appropriate?

:-D

Check this. Someone is out to get him...
Kavanagh's accuser also believes he has not received due process.

>>Daniel Donohue, 40, who grew up in Peekskill and now lives on the West Coast, said yesterday he has heard little from the archdiocese since he appeared before its review board in February 2003.

"The secrecy, the closed-doorness of it, continues to mar the whole process," he said. "People want due process for Charlie? What about due process for me?"

Donohue was a 14-year-old freshman at Cathedral Preparatory Seminary, a high school for prospective priests that was then in Manhattan when, he says, Kavanagh began an intense, six-year relationship with him with romantic and sexual overtones.

Donohue insists that Kavanagh, the head of the school, hugged him inappropriately, lay on top of him on a couch and finally got in bed with him during a trip. Donohue eventually dropped out of an undergraduate seminary and says he tried to put his experience with Kavanagh behind him.<<

Nothing sexual. Sexual Overtones???
