Killer of [Pedophile] Ex-Priest Was Hater of Gays (Three Bag Hurl Alert..)

The inmate accused of strangling John Geoghan in his prison cell hated homosexuals and began plotting the attack on the child molesting former priest weeks ago, a prosecutor said yesterday.

'He looked on Father Geoghan as a prize,' District Attorney John Conte said. No question he had been planning it for well over a month.

Joe L. Druce, who is serving a life term for killing a gay man 15 years ago, cut apart a book to make a perfect tool for jamming the door of Geoghan's cell and spent time stretching the socks used in the strangling, Conte said.

'Druce had a longstanding phobia, it appears, toward homosexuals of any kind..He is filled with long standing hate,' Conte said as he provided new details into the death of the central figure in the Roman Catholic Church sex scandal.

Conte did not address why two inmates with such criminal histories were living in the same cell block at the maximum security Souza Correctional Facility in Shirley.

"I realize that your comments are motivated by the guilt you feel at being one of those FReepers who marched in lockstep with the liberal media against the Catholic Church. You lash out at me because I reveal a painful truth about your own character."

This indicated that you don't know diddly squat about me, but then, since when have folks like you ever let the truth get in the way of your pathetic paranoia!

So, in other words, you think it's wrong when someone you don't know tries to psychoanalyze you on the strength of a web posting.

Well, that's certainly the pot calling the kettle black.

I notice you didn't comment on how wrong you were about the public school system.

Clean up your beloved church...or are you just waiting for God to take out the trash?

The lil darlins are just doing with teacher what they are doing at the malls.

And if you think I am mean spirited, read the articles about girls from non-poverty families who trade sex for mall "goodies" which they want. Note the 'want' not 'need'.

What is all too often happening here in the Sheeples Republic of FloriDUH is a bountiful harvest of the poison fruit of the Tree of Liberalism. Sexualizing society, and its younger members, has consequences.

'Bill jobs' became common among middle schoolers, and not unknown in the elementary school set, thanks to MS Lewenski and the Clintoon. Remember the very old saying "Monkey see, Monkey do"? It evolved from long experience.

So did the prohibitions on acts like 'Bill jobs' and non-celibate priests abusing congregants. The teacher/student anti-miscegenation rules have been widely flouted for decades. Aside from the moral and legal aspects of such behavior, there is the fact that students compete for grades - and sleeping with the teacher give the appearance (often the reality, too) of granting some grade competitors an unfair advantage.

Summary: Onserve the last six of the Ten Commandments. Even an atheistic Liberal can't object on religious grounds.

I was endeavoring to take out the trash years before the press found it fashionable.

RCF and other Catholic organizations forced pedophiles like Daniel Ryan to resign even while the press studiously ignored the evidence against him and praised him for his "progressive" ideas.

We were also calling for the reform of our seminaries for decades.

And we will continue the job even after the press get what they want.

I can't argue a bit with that. As the father of a son about to turn 11, I have had to explain to him why lying is wrong. I remember when, as a 5 year-old, he said, "But, the President lies all the time and the people on TV say it's okay!"

'Druce had a longstanding phobia, it appears, toward homosexuals

Homophobic? He feared fruits? Not likely. More likely he just found them disgusting. And more likely than that he just hated child molestors.

Explain the reasoning behind this statement.

I think Druce (Goeghan's murderer) should die in the same horrible way that he killed Father Goeghan.

I think the guards that let him savage Father Goeghan are going to have a lot to answer for. I pray that they all get it back.

I think Druce (Goeghan's murderer) should die in the same horrible way that he killed Father Goeghan.

And are you willing to strangle Druce then? If Druce had no right or authority to judge Geoghan or to kill him, what gives you such a right and authority to judge Druce and prescribe such a death for him?

When Geoghan was alive did you believe that he should have been sexually tortured just as he sexually tortured his victims? Or does the law of talion apply only to Druce?

I think the guards that let him savage Father Goeghan are going to have a lot to answer for. I pray that they all get it back.

So, in other words you are praying to the Lord Jesus Christ - who suffered and died a death He never deserved for our sake - you are praying to the same Lord asking him to inflict pain and suffering on other human beings in order that He may bloodily revenge in Old Testament fashion the death of a child molester?

That is not only a selfish misuse of prayer, it is pretty close to demented.

I would think that only a mentally unbalanced person could be so zealous for bloody vengeance on behalf of a child molester he never knew, so I have to presume that you knew Geoghan personally and knew him well enough to see a side of him that was not apparent from the facts presented to the court.

Be that as it may, I think your own soul would be better served by putting aside your bloodymindedness regarding Druce and praying for his conversion and the conversion of his accomplices. I certainly pity you, and I will remember you in my prayers.
