Casa Jesus: Gay Seminarian Pipeline Set Up by Cdl. Bernardin

Latin American house of formation shut down over homosexual scandals

CHICAGO (ChurchMilitant.com) - Casa Jesus, a now-defunct Chicago seminary for Latin Americans, was founded under the late Cdl. Joseph Bernardin to recruit gay seminarians.

Father John Lavers, who headed a top-level investigation at Holy Apostles Seminary in Hartford, Connecticut in 2012, confirmed with Church Militant that Bernardin led the vanguard in recruiting and funneling homosexuals from Latin America to seminaries in Chicago, some who were farmed out to other U.S. seminaries or who went on to be ordained priests for the Chicago archdiocese.

Originally a convent for nuns located right next to Holy Name Cathedral, it was turned into a formation house in 1987 under Bernardin specifically to house Latin American seminarians.

A Rampant Homosexual Subculture

After 28 years in operation, Casa Jesus was quietly shut down by Cdl. Blase Cupich in 2016 following multiple homosexual scandals, with three seminarians expelled after being caught going to a gay bar, and the rector himself, Octavio Munoz, arrested for male child porn on his laptop.

Bernardin passed away in 1996 from pancreatic cancer. At the request of the archdiocese, the Windy City Gay Chorus sang at his public memorial service on November 18.

But otherwise he would have kept it open, I'll bet.

Two more "Priests" caught in Miami, having at it in a VW Van by the police. Guess they are absolving each other as they go.

I find the whole thing abhorrent: set up a seminary to attract gays into becoming priests, but do not allow straight priests to marry as they would rat out the pervs who molested their children (IMHO). Talk about collusion! It has been widely known that families packed their gay sons off to the seminary to hide them; fine by me as long as they don't go on the perv.

Cardinal Roger Mahoney of LA presided at Bernadine’s funeral Mass. Mahoney is up to his eye balls in scandal and has cost the Diocese of LA Hundreds of Millions$$$ in sex abuse lawsuits. They are all in on this.

And we're to believe that "silence" is the best way to resolve this filth?

Christ's silence before Herod was appropriate because the charges were false and not to be dignified with a response.

That is NOT the case with the abuse, infidelity, homosexuality, and unchastity, being covered up in a well coordinated and criminal manner, all across the globe today.

Fine with you, but not fine with Rome, who has repeatedly said (even Pope Francis has said!) that even chaste homosexuals do not belong in the priesthood, to say nothing of actively unchaste ones.

“EVEN”? THEY ALL SHOULD SAY THAT; WHAT I DO NOT CARE ABOUT AND WHAT THE CHURCH DOES ARE DIFFERENT THINGS. IT AIN’T MY YOB & I HAVE -O- CONTROL OF IT.
