BUFFALO, New York, March 25, 2019, LifeSiteNews — Despite being under fire for multiple alleged coverups of clergy sex abuse, the Diocese of Buffalo has returned a priest with penchant for male pornography to service.
Bishop Richard J. Malone reinstated Fr. Robert A. Stolinski, saying “allegations of child sexual abuse” against the priest “have not been substantiated.”
While the Bishop’s statement noted that the decision is based on recent reports of investigators as well as the advice and recommendations of the independent Diocesan Review Board, the fact remains that Stolinski has a long, troubling history of indulging in male pornography, including pornography depicting “sexual acts between men and male teenagers.”
A confidential 2012 report to Bishop Malone obtained and published by Buffalo’s 7 Eyewitness News I-Team described two separate incidents where pornography was discovered in rectories where Fr. Stolinski resided:
Father Robert Stolinski was a resident at the parish where Father Joseph Bisonette was killed several years ago. When the police investigated, they found a great deal of pornography (male homosexual pornography not involving children). Father Stolinski was counseled. A short time later, there was come financial improprieties and he was found to have been binge shopping. He was then sent to Southdowns for analysis and counseling.

Remind him of Philippines. Maybe send him there?
If you want to be forgiving and helpful to this person, then offer them the options of either leaving the priesthood, or working for the Church in some manner that doesn’t involve contact with parishioners.
Send him to minister to the faithful in Brunei.
The Christians in Africa need grave diggers.
By "several years ago" they mean 1987. The murder of Bissonette (not "Bisonette") was part of a double homicide, the other victim being Msgr. David P. Herlihy: 2 BUFFALO YOUTHS ARRESTED IN MURDERS OF 2 PRIESTS. The pair were murdered by two teenagers who had known the priests for about a year. The motive was robbery.
30-40% of Roman Catholic priests are likely gay.
This is not unusual.
They are both known and accepted.
WTH?
Can the Pope do something about this?
