Jesuits Housed Accused Abuser Priests on Gonzaga University Campus for Decades, AP Reports
LifeSite News ^ | 12/19/18 | Matthew Cullinan Hoffman

December 19, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – The Jesuit order for decades used Gonzaga University’s campus to house priests who had been removed from active service in the priesthood due to accusations of sexual abuse, according to an report recently published by the Center for Investigative Reporting and republished by the Associated Press.

According to the report, the Jesuit order’s Oregon Province sent to the university at least 20 Jesuit priests who had been accused of sexual misconduct, in most cases while they were functioning in the order’s missions in isolated Alaska villages populated by indigenous people as well as Indian reservations in the northwestern U.S.

The priests were kept on the campus in a building that is called the “Cardinal Bea House,” which is situated on the Gonzaga campus but belongs to the Jesuit order itself, rather than to the university.

According to the report, one of the most infamous abusers who eventually came to live on campus had a powerful supporter – a current vice president of Gonzaga, Father Frank Case, who at the time was the head of the Jesuits’ Oregon Province. In 1989, Case wrote a glowing letter of recommendation for the abuser priest’s appointment to a hospital chaplaincy position, claiming that the priest was in “very good standing” with the order, despite the fact that the priest had already been removed from his assignment in Alaska because of complaints of sexual abuse.

If the Pope were serious about purging sexual deviants from the clergy, he would disband the Jesuit order.

Years ago a Jesuit told me, at that time, there was a fight within the Jesuit Order between the “Straights” and “Gays” as to who would control the Order.
Is the out come in doubt?

IIRC, three different Popes have disbanded the Jevvies. But they keep coming back, like crabgrass.

I’m beginning t think that there is a group of men who don’t really think rape or sexual molestation as a “real”crime....too much wink wink among the good old boy network.....

JP1 had the written but unsigned order on his desk the night he died.

There’s a lot of fags in the Jesuit order. I’ve met some, and heard stories about others.

Wow. I went to the Wiki entry for John Paul I & it concluded he died in bed of a heart attack but will the truth ever be known? It’s like Godfather III.

Except...the world then got John Paul II and the fall of communism in Europe & the USSR. Did the conspirators succeed?

as well as Indian reservations in the northwestern U.S

Anyone who knows anything about life in those places realizes that pedo priests is one more problem those folks really did not need.
