MAN ARRESTED AFTER SUING THE VATICAN

[Robert Drobot]

A victim of child rape by Newjesuit presbyter Jerold Lindner attacked his rapist with his bare fists and soundly beat him up. The San Jose, California, man, William Lynch, took the sword of justice into his own hands. He told the press: "You can’t put into words what this guy [Lindner] did to me. He stole my innocence and destroyed my life." Lynch was age 7 at the time when presbyter Lindner started raping him on Newchurch-sponsored camping trips in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The presbyter told the child: "You will go to Hell if you tell anyone what happened."
Who can blame the victim? The ecclesiastical and civil "justice" systems completely failed. The presbyter had raped not only Lynch, but also his little brother. But instead of punishing the presbyter, Newchurch officials hid its presbyter's crimes and let him continue his predations upon children unabated.
The rapist presbyter had been fingered by a dozen children and parents up and down California while Newchurch popes and bishops sat on their hands. Even when the presbyter's own sister, nieces, and nephews accused him of having raped them for years while Newchurch popes and bishops sat on their hands. Most of presbyter Lindner’s family severed contact with him after discovering he had raped family members as young as age 3. Lindner ended up with bruises and lacerations as a result of the victim's justice -- a lot less than what Lindner inflicted on his child victims. He was well enough to drive himself to the hospital.
But such is the injustice of the ecclesiastical and civil "justice" systems that it is the victim who is arrested. The rapist presbyter gets of scot free because of an arbitrary "statute of limitations" in California for child rape. But California has no statute of limitations for murder. Go figure!
The Lynch brothers were aged 5 and 7 when presbyter Lindner, on camping trips sponsored by Newchurch, took them into the Santa Cruz mountains and raped them repeatedly. A psychologist said of the incident: "Reading about Lindner in media accounts throughout the years and realizing he had gone unpunished could have pushed Lynch to act. Imagine holding something inside for 35 years and letting it fester. He’s probably thinking, 'You're living your life and here I am a failure and all because of what you did to me on that day.’" Yes, imagine.
There have been several other instances of frustrated child-victims exacting justice from guilty Newchurch clergy when the ecclesiastical and civil "justice" systems have completely failed. Newchurch and civil authorities have worked to keep these instances of retributive justice quiet, probably fearing that by their example, numerous others of the 100,000 child victims of Newchurch bishops and presbyters would get the courage to act.
In Baltimore, Maryland, a child-victim of assault and sodomy by a Newchurch presbyter shot the clergyman three times after the presbyter told him to go away when he demanded an apology. The victim in that case was acquitted of attempted murder. The notorious paedophile presbyter John Geoghan, who was considered too vile even by the prisoners, was strangled to death in his jail cell. Geoghan had been convicted of molesting as many as 150 boys.
The presbyter's own sister, whom Lindner also raped repeatedly, told the press: "Jerry’s [presbyter Lindner] violent, and I would not be surprised if he did get beat up. I could understand somebody getting that mad. I’ve often said myself that I don’t trust myself around him. I would likely wind up in jail because I'd probably kick him somewhere where the sun doesn’t shine — and I’m his sister." The presbyter's own brother, a retired Los Angeles police officer, whose 8-year-old daughter the presbyter had assaulted, told the press: "I told him he best get in his vehicle and leave. I said, 'If I go out to the truck and get my off-duty weapon out of the glove box, you're a dead man." In essence, the child-rapist presbyter's own family said that it was just for Lindner to be beat up for his vile crimes!
It was this sleaze that Newchurch bishops and popes, and even the civil "justice" system protected. He's no "priest." He should have been run out of Newchurch on a rail, but only the victim seems to have had any sense of justice. But presbyter Lindner may not be the only one to be "punched out" over these crimes. A lawsuit has been filed in federal court charging Benedict-Ratzinger and Newvatican for complicity in rape. The lawsuit also charges the Jesuit authorities, who knew of presbyter Lindner's continuing crimes, as proven by an internal memorandum on the subject, and yet concealed them from authorities.
The Executive Director of the Survivors Network of those Abused by P[resbyters] summed up the situation by saying: "I certainly understand the frustration of a victim whose life is devastated while church officials continue to shield and protect and pay and coddle." Benedict-Ratzinger, are you listening, or are you just stone deaf to the cries of your children?

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

The story seems exaggerated, if true in part, possibly. For whatever reason Mr. Miller is clearly guilty of criminal assault, and frankly looks like a wacko.

[presently no screen name]

Who is Mr. Miller?

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Oops, I meant Mr. Lynch.

[liberty or death]

we would all look like wacko’s if we had sex with our own siblings.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

As I said, ‘for whatever reason’. This is one of the parts of his story that sounds a lot like the MKcMartin case. While there is no information on his recollection of the case, one way or the other, this has the smell of a ‘recovered memory’ type fiction.

[presently no screen name]

This is a gut wrenching story. The crime is horrific as is the cover up.

Mark 4:22
For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open.

[RegulatorCountry]

The statements from Lindner’s own brother and sister would seem to lend a great deal of credibility.

[presently no screen name]

Something so horrible, I’m sure he tried very hard as a young kid to suppress the torture. Who wouldn’t.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

The stories told by the dozens of children in the McMartin case were even more terrible. They were also fictitious.
In the case of these folks, when is the first time they told somebody about the events? Had they been receiving counseling involving memory regression just prior to that? Child abuse is a real and horrible crime, but the more fantastic stories often are just that, fantasies.

[MacMattico]

It’s strange though, that to paraphrase, his sister says “oh Jerry’s violent , I don’t always feel comfortable around him”.Why is she going near a brother that raped her? Makes me a bit skeptical of the story. Not saying he’s innocent, just that was a weird statement. As a Catholic, I know there was abuse, but there is in all segments of society and religions, evil exists everywhere. Also, I don’t believe the Vatican and Pope knew that a priest in southern California was torturing and raping children.

[MacMattico]

And it also says he abused his brother’s (a retired police officer) daughter and nothing happened ? huh?

[MacMattico]

One last questionable thing from the article, it says people knew that the abuse continues yet then states the statute of limitations made prosecution impossible. How would that be if abuse has continued to go on?

[presently no screen name]

In the case of these folks, when is the first time they told somebody about the events?

Who knows, the priest put the fear of God in them - if they tell anyone they will go to hell.

[RegulatorCountry]

"Jerry’s [presbyter Lindner] violent, and I would not be surprised if he did get beat up. I could understand somebody getting that mad. I’ve often said myself that I don’t trust myself around him. I would likely wind up in jail because I'd probably kick him somewhere where the sun doesn’t shine — and I’m his sister."

That's bit different from your take on things. She isn't around him because she's afraid she'd commit violence upon him.

[RegulatorCountry]

The presbyter's own brother, a retired Los Angeles police officer, whose 8-year-old daughter the presbyter had assaulted, told the press: "I told him he best get in his vehicle and leave. I said, 'If I go out to the truck and get my off-duty weapon out of the glove box, you're a dead man."

And again, a bit different from your take on things. His brother threatened to kill him. That's not exactly "nothing happened."

[RegulatorCountry]

The reference is to Lindner continuing to rape children, even though the adults who were themselves raped as children could not prosecute because the statute of limitations had made prosecution impossible.

Children grow up, in other words.

[GCC Catholic]

And again, a bit different from your take on things. His brother threatened to kill him. That's not exactly "nothing happened."

Fr. Lindner's brother, who is a police officer, made a terroristic threat after an actual crime was committed rather than pursue the appropriate channels to 1)keep his own daughter safe in the future, 2)keep other children safe in the future, 3)get Lindner the help that he obviously needs, and 4)make sure that justice is served.

When you consider that we are talking about a LEO who is claiming that his daughter was assaulted, this is about as close to "nothing happened" without actually being nothing.

There's more to this whole situation than the article is saying.

[maica]

***Lynch and his brother settled a previous lawsuit for their alleged abuse at the children’s camp, accepting $625,000 from the Jesuits of the California Province in 1998, the AP reported.***

How does this fit in with the claim that the ‘statute of limitations has run out?

Lynch is an angry man who is looking for more money, it seems.
