Geoghan killed in prison (Boston Herald)
Breaking news/by Eric Convey
Saturday, August 23, 2003
Former priest John Geoghan, a notorious pedophile whose case sparked the clergy molestation scandal of the past 18 months, died this afternoon after being attacked at the state prison in Shirley.
``The perpetrator has been isolated,'' said Kelly Nantell, a spokeswoman for the state Deparment of Corrections.
``Our investigation continues,'' she said.
The matter has been referred to the Middlesex County District Attorney Martha Coakley's office.
Geoghan was serving a nine-to-10 year sentence at MCI Shirley for allegedly groping a boy at a Waltham swimming pool.
More than 140 people have claimed they were abused by Geoghan, claiming they were fondled or raped at locations ranging from church rectories to their own homes.
Geoghan would become one the most notorious pedophiles in the country - not only for the extent of his rampage against children but because relevations about his case led to the unraveling of secrecy within the Archdiocese of Boston.
Bernard Cardinal Law's cordial letters to Geoghan, mixing discipline with praise for his priestly service, that pushed many victims from disbelief to outrage.

You know I hope you do not think I am a bigot and G-D knows I myself have not lived a saintly life.
All I am trying to say Under the Umbrella of Sexual Peversion are" Practicing Homosexuals as well as Pedophiles that are both Homosexual and Heterosexual therefore we should not endorse any sexual peversion.
The bible quickly condems the sexual act between two people of the same sex, does he condem all acts that heterosexual people can do that homosexual people can do? that I cannot answer.

If I gave the impression I was referring to you as a bigot, I apologize as that was not my intent.
I do not and never have endorsed perversion of any type, sexual or otherwise.
My position is that it is none of my or anyone else's business what is done behind closed doors between 2 CONSENTING ADULTS.

Thank you!

Well if you want to equate my sarcastic remark with the trashiness of extracting glee from a person's murder, feel free. I wasn't trying to impugn all Christians just those who seemed to relish this.
Oh, and your assertion that it is natural to feel JOY over the murder of someone such as the situation in question, seems a little off base to me. Relief yes, a sense of justice being served, yes, but JOY???, I don't think so.

Point being if I decided that I could have an affair being a married woman and nobody knew therefore nobody would get hurt I would be a consenting adult doing my own thing behind closed doors? what makes me not do that is my vow to G-D and my husband. If your vow is to G-D you would not knowingly keep doing something over and over again as a consenting adult because it's nobody's business.

I hate to point this out, but now the lawyers for pedophile rapists can argue that a conviction is a death sentence. So be it. Homosexuals are the ones who keep yelling that "It's their right to chose their own sexual life style." Unfortunately for them, prisoners don't like men who rape children. Hopefully, this sends a loud and clear message to other pedophiles. When they go to prison, they are dead whether ordered by the law, or the lawless. Justice has been served.

suppressed pituitary function due to a collapse of the sac around the gland itself which causes the spinal fluid pressure to build on the gland.
Not terribly uncommon....sometimes congenital or from accidents etc.
No big deal. I'm 6'5" and 220 so I guess mine has functioned well enough.
To: adam_az
Just because he WASN'T given a death sentence does not mean he SHOULDN'T have been. Justice has been served, and the Law has nothing to do with Justice.
Geoghan's score of molested boys has been stopped. I understand it was up to 135. If raping little boys is a venial sin, he was deserving of Heaven, he's there or will be in a few years. If not, he has a long time to roast and repent.
Clinton and her husband SHOULD be in jail, we SHOULD have NUKED Iraq, we SHOULD have bombed Hanoi into rubble, including every shack within 50 miles of downtown, and THEN held talks.
Shoulda, coulda, woulda, it makes my orifices ache...

Do not twist my words to suit your purpose.
I thought I made it clear that I find pedophiles, whether priests or not, to be despicable creatures.
We will all answer to God in the long run. He will decide what He will accept in behavior.
I do not need to be lectured about adultery. I spent 4 years married to an abuser who accused me of that on a regular basis. He was the one guilty of that sin, not me.

I was not implying that so don't get upset. I was just trying to make my point that I do not believe we should endorse Homosexuality. It says it right there in the bible.
People awlays make an excuse for bad behaviour even me once in awhile.

"or the guys who say its ok to kill the priest but not allow a woman to choose?So you say there is a moral equivolence that should:
A) "Allow a woman to choose [to murder her innocent pre-born child]"
B) Allow a satanic priest -- guilty of raping over 100 post-born children -- mercy?
May God help you in reassessing your warped sense of justice.

read "Cry to Heaven" by Anne Rice... she glorified it (tried to), but the facts are the facts.
They were the "servicemen" of the clergy
