FORT WAYNE, Ind. (www.incnow.tv) - Fr. Cornelius Ryan, CSC, has been removed as administrator of St. Joseph Catholic Church-Hessen Cassel after being accused of sexual abuse. Bishop Kevin Rhoades was notified June 10 of a "credible allegation" that Fr. Ryan had sexually abused a minor about 20 years ago while serving in Africa, the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend says in a statement released Wednesday.

"We're heartbroken by these events," Sean McBride with the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend says. "Right now, our main concern, and utmost concern, is for the spiritual safety and well-being of the parishioners at St. Joe-Hessen Cassel.

Right. No concern for the now-grown child who was abused. The church is providing grief counselors for the parishoners. No. Really. Gotta keep those tithes flowing.

20 years ago.

Still wrong, of course, but if they have to go back 20 years for allegations then that means the situations is dramatically better than it was just a decade ago.

Where did this allegation come from?

Did the now man he abused pop up from Africa to make this allegation after 20 years?

Males who are sexually abused as children usually do not come forward until they are adults. Boys take on misplaced guilt and shame for what is done to them and don’t deal with all that until they are older - if they live that long or if at all. As adults they often deal with the damage in self harm - suicide, drug and booze abuse.

These priests get to worry their whole lives of being found out. For most pedos, abusing children is a life long thrill (sexual orientation) so it is important that men abused as boys go after their tormentors when they are able to make sure they stop victimizing other children. Also, we need to make it safe for boys to reject and out their adult harassers and abusers like we have for females. We need to empower them. You can tell by the femenazi culture that perverts think boys are fair game.

20 years ago? In Africa?

Kaching!

yes, I know such things went on, but most immoral priests in Africa or here in the Philippines are heterosexuals, not gays who like teenaged boys....
