I am totally disgusted with the situation. The pervert priests need to be outed and booted.

I e-mailed a thank you to Father Van Houten for his FAITHFILLED support of Elizabeth.

"Rev. John Thompson stole thousands from St. Elizabeth School coffers and spent much of it on a 19-year-old male go-go dancer he met at a Greenwich Village nightclub."

Ah...here we go...

They should investigate the fuzzy accounting at the colleges and universities next. This will not be the last such story. Sadly. Just imagine if Fr. Thompson had been a prof. at Fordham or Georgetown. The boy lover would have qualified for medical benefits.

According to an article in THE WANDERER, April 25, 2002, the Bishop of Paterson, Frank J. Rodimer, sold off Pope Pius XII High School in Passaic, NJ, in order to pay off a family to settle a case of Child Abuse. He also kept on Fr. Lou Scurti who was arrested from being "caught in the act" with another priest from St. Luke's Church, Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ and a retired full-bird Colonel on Route 3 and Broad St., Clifton, NJ, a popular hangout for homosexuals. Fr. Lou kept his position as a teacher at DePaul High School, Wayne, NJ. He is now a chaplain at William Paterson University, Wayne, NJ. Can you imagine a Bishop allowing a practicing homosexual priest to remain teaching at a high school? What kind of Bishop does the Diocese of Paterson have? Fr. Lou, an artist, was also responsible for demolishing former/deceased Bishop Lawrence B. Casey's chapel shortly after Rodimer was named bishop. The chapel was magnificent, and Scurti removed all of the beautiful artwork, including framed paintings and frescoes depicting the crucifixion; the high altar was dismantled and replaced with a modern altar.

Thanks for the ping S. This priests should not be defrocked, but put in the slammer. This is beyond belief.
