I just realized that I’ve walked past that church many times...it’s near the Javits Center.
While young nubile ladies attack the 72 year old body of mine I always text. I text all my friends about this incredible day. After the attack I go to bended knee and say, "Thank You God, today was a good day."
Pure BS. This is about a lawsuit.
This happened on the second day of her job? Real abusers of employees "size them up" over a considerable period of time in an effort to determine if the victim would be susceptible. It does not happen the second day.
Follow the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Sadly young nubile ladies do not attack me.
What good is a security guard who gets manhandled by a 75 y. O.? An old rotted priest isnt going to fear your badge. Kick his ass or Maybe find a better career ? this aint sesame street.
I don't like negatives, either. They're depressing and demoralizing. But we need to know what the enemy is doing, and Fr. Rutler needs our support. Unfortunately, we wouldn't know that without this being posted.
It’s a beautiful church. But they put him there to punish him for having been successful in building two other parishes into hotbeds of orthodoxy (as well as having restored them from their 70s wreckovations ). St Michael’s was a marginal parish on its way to closing ...but guess what, he did the same thing there, created a thriving conservative parish and beautified the church.
I have met him a few times and I find these claims very hard to believe, if only because it’s hard to believe that he would do something as foolish as that, let alone as immoral. He knows the diocesan authorities have been out to get him since day one (he’s a convert from Anglicanism).
Also, I don’t see why this shocked young woman would go running off to something called “Black Ops Private Investigators” rather than going to the police. How did she even find this company?
That said, anything is possible, and I certainly hope it’s not true.
I don’t know any of the back story.
Lest anyone think otherwise, this is what they're shooting for
NOVEMBER 22, 2020
FROM THE PASTOR
These days I am frequently asked if we are living in the “End Times.” As the grace of Holy Orders does not make me a seer, I defer, as is prudent, to the King of Universe: “Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming” (Matthew 24:42). So the answer simply is that we do not know, but as the Coast Guard’s “Semper Paratus” motto exhorts, we must constantly be prepared. That vigilance is contingent on everyone’s immediate obligation to be recollect for the end of one’s own life. For the Christian, this is a stimulus to faith rather than neurosis. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God” (Philippians 4:6).
The prophets were not like the boy who cried “Wolf!” They were inspired by God to tell what he wants his people to know about spiritual readiness, so that his kingly rule is that of a shepherd guiding his flock through the variables of human experience. In the film The Lion in Winter, Katharine Hepburn as Henry II’s queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine, remarks with regal resignation about her dysfunctional family: “What family doesn’t have its ups and downs?” Christ’s family the Church has always had its ups and downs, often big time, and many times it has been the lamentable case that the Shepherd King is tasked with herding cats rather than sheep.
The Church began with a crucifixion when no one expected a resurrection. That sequence of death and life is repeated time and again. There were the persecutions under so many Caesars, heresies with volatile schisms in consequence, sieges, desecrations, destructions, corruptions and civilly institutionalized blasphemies. But each of these crucifixions was followed by a resurrection. This is to be remembered when distress in the Church is accompanied by a confluence of unrest and fear in politics and pandemics. Through it all, the Carthusian motto grows ever more stolid and incontestable: “Stat Crux dum volvitur orbis”—the Cross stands steady while the world revolves. This is most vivid when the revolving world seems to be whirling out of control.
On November 5, the ninety-year-old Cardinal Tumi of Cameroon was briefly kidnapped by separatists who demanded that he endorse their propaganda. He told his captors that he must preach only what is true: “Nobody has the right to tell me to preach the contrary because I was called by God.” In every cultural crisis, this is the kind of witness that transcends any attempt to speculate about the end of the world, for it takes its strength from the assurance that Christ Crucified in Jerusalem is also Christ the King of the Universe.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion
that shall not be taken away,
his kingship shall not be destroyed. (Daniel 7:14)
Faithfully yours in Christ,
Father George W. Rutler
Also,walking past the church recently it's occurred to me that it might be bought up by the developers of Hudson Yards.I've read that Hudson Yards isn't doing very well but it still seems possible to me...not that I'm an expert on such matters.
I agree to the utmost, Stanne
He was never married, to my knowledge, but I don’t think it would make him more likely to do something like this in any case. I think the whole thing smells, especially the involvement of some weird private investigators.
As you say, the property is very valuable, and there has been speculation for years that the Archdiocese wants to sell it, but that they’re afraid to do so because a lot of wealthy conservative Catholics support Fr. Rutler and St Michael’s. Not anymore, I guess, which is pretty convenient for the Archdiocese.
Let’s count the hands here:
“He looked at me with a smile, looked away, and he put his hand inside his pants, and he was playing with himself,” Gonzalez said, recalling her second day on the job at the church on Nov. 4.
Sounds like his hands are occupied. One for the computer mouse and, well....
“She said she tried to leave the pastor’s office, but he slammed the door shut.”
I thought his hands were occupied, so how long did it take her to try to leave?
“He aggressively threw himself on me and grabbed me sexually, aggressively, and I was fighting him off of me,” Gonzalez said...
A security guard that can’t handle a 75 year old priest. Sounds like she’s under qualified if a burglar showed up.
“who added that she sent frantic text messages to her mother begging for help.”
So ends the fight, she was busy texting while she was fighting for her honor. Not much fight there. Don’t know about the honor part.

It’s a pretty improbable story. I would suspect that she was creeping around spying on him (in the video you can see that she’s filming through a half open door) hoping to catch him watching porn. I haven’t seen what was on the screen, but supposedly it was porn. So this probably means that somebody knew there was porn on the rectory computer and was trying to catch him watching it.
If he turned around and smiled, he probably did not then stick his hand in his pants (he usually wore a cassock anyway) but probably in his pocket and he was probably “playing with” his rosary. I think it’s very possible that when he realized that she had been videoing him, he got up and went towards her, pushed her out of the room and shoved the door shut. That seems to have been when she texted her mother, something that may well have been prearranged since mom didn’t seem too alarmed about it.
I saw the girl interviewed and she’s definitely a dim bulb and the “private investigators” - who wear military/cop style uniforms - came across as very weird and thuggish. It’s a very strange story.
News 12 that put the story out is a local news network in Brooklyn that I can’t see taking the lead in a national/international story. If this is that hot, why didn’t any of the majors come down with it as they have been attacking the Catholic church for years? I think it will dry up and blow away as opinion and not fact.

I think it looks so highly suspicious that no legitimate source wants to take it on. I expected the Post to have it, but so far, not a peep.
Yeah...stinks don’t it? The name national enquirer comes to mind. Or something you might see waiting for your groceries to get checked.
But, historically, there are the type of lies the media like to use for about a week. And when the shine on it dries up, they move on. Matches almost all of Saul Alinsky’s rules.

Not just those points, but from the short video on the news article, she wasn’t even in the office, so how did he shut the door behind her? Did she sneak in, go to the far side of the room, and then he was able to block her access to the door...?
