Agnes states that in the fall of 1957, in Greenville, S.C., with her father present, Bishop John Russell of the Charleston Archdiocese and his chancellor, Bernardin, raped her as part of a satanic ritual, which included, as a RCF report stated, "a perverted, sacrilegious use of a [consecrated] host."

Haldol alert. sounds like she forgot to take her medications and is getting paranoid delusions.

As for Bernadine, for what it is worth, Andrew Greeley in his 1990 book, discusses the homosexual clique working in the bishop's office who protected gay priests. However, he defended Bernadine from charges of homosexuality, saying that unlike gay priests, he enjoyed talking to women and related to women like a normal heterosexual.

So it's ok to denigrate a woman who may have been the victim of abuse when a child, but we can't say a word against Bernardin and other prelates who have wrecked the Catholic Church for the last thirty years?

The laity bears quite a bit of responsibility for the state of the Church because of the way it jumps through hoops to defend the ecclesiastical gangsters in charge right now. These guys are crooks and worse; the sooner people realize this and stop fawning over every guy in a roman collar or with a pectoral cross, the better. Don't forget that Judas Iscariot was a bishop.
