My greatest weakness.
Thank you for the subsequent defense. This victory (the banning of the psychotic theotokos) goes hand in Hand (oops) with the other news I have to report this morning.
The meeting this morning, with the abuse victim, his mom, our bishop, the archabbot, and myself went very well.
The victim is no longer suicidal, and is receiving satisfactory treatment for his depression. We got everything we asked for, including coverage for his substance abuse counseling, help with his bills accrued during the time he was institutionalized for suicidal threats, their pledge to intercede on his behalf with the court regarding the victim's DUI charges, and the promise to pay for homosexual reparative therapy in the future if the victim chooses (even if he has to travel 4 hours to a doc in Philadelphia recommended to me by Fr. Harvey from Courage.)
This alone was a major victory. Our bishop's psychologist, David Brown, who screens our seminarians, has publicly stated that reparative therapy for homosexuals is bogus. For them to agree to it in this meeting is a major victory and another rebuke to Brown, psychologist mentioned in Michael Rose's book "Goodbye Good Men."
The offending priest has had all his faculties removed. He's not even allowed to say private mass. He has been removed from all interaction with the public.
The victim is returning to Church and the sacraments. (Years ago his mother gave him a Benedictine crucifix blessed by JPII. He had never worn it. After I met with him a week ago and he saw me wearing my 3 inch benedictine cross publicly, he got his out and started wearing it for the first time.)
He will start counseling for the homosexual abuse itself very soon with a friend of mine, a very orthodox Catholic counselor.
Thank you all again, for your charity and prayers for this man!!!
Thanks for the news. That's wonderful. I'll continue to remember the young man in my prayers, especially that those in ecclesiastic authority now live up to their promises.

Ouch --- That's got to hurt but good news all the same.
David Brown is in denial and is also heterophobic. He's got a strong gay agenda that rationalizes and denies the truth. Because of this, he should be barred from every diocese.
He should read the 250 success cases of Dr. Joseph Nicolosi that are re-discovering their heterosexuality.
As my Mom would always say, you'll get an extra diamond in your crown when you get to heaven :o)
