Free Republic

“How can that be a misdemeanor? It sounds at the very least statutory rape.”

I thought the same thing.

Apparently the "mere" misdemeanor was not enough to deport him!

The L.A. Times reported, "Since Silverio had never received U.S. citizenship, [his attorney] said, he is likely to be deported to the Philippines upon release from prison."

The whole thing is bad, imho.

Wow ... Very sad.

My prayers for Fr. Tom and EVERYONE involved.

I don’t post here often, but I remember the speculation when Fr. Tom first left HLI a number of months back. A Freeper posted a comment along the lines of, “I hope this is not a Fr. Cutie-like situation.”

Eesh. Seems pretty close. Except Fr. Tom is far more repentant.

Again, I want to sincerely apologize! It was unintentional. I thought my name at the top made it clear that the book was mine. I was very wrong!

Can a Christian get some forgiveness around here?

I appreciate your reply. I thought I had made it pretty obvious that I was the author when I put my name in the author line at the top of the post and my bio in the first comment!

If it was unclear to you or anyone ... Sorry! I was just trying to make things easy. I just don't appreciate being called "deceptive" and "not truthful," when I strive to be truthful everyday.

So ... I apologize for being unclear. How about you? You say I have "one customer review" (and, by the way, "davidwrites" is NOT me), but you ignore the three nice testimonials the book has from legitimate outside sources.

Peace.

Good for Cardinal O’Malley! This is great news for Boston and for Catholics.

I heard him reviewing this movie. I have never heard Medved so upset ... ever in all the years I have listened to him. To think that this will be used by our enemy to recruit terrorists.

I agree. The only other time I heard him this worked up about a movie was around the time of 'Passion of the Christ.' He opened his show with an incredibly passionate monologue about how critics were trying to pan a great film like 'Passion' after having praised such garbage in the past. (I think I remember him citing an awful and gross film called "Crash," which critics supposedly fawned over.)

God bless Michael Medved.

I would try and think of more negative adjectives to describe how awful this movie is, but I think Medved used them all up! (But I came up with ‘awful.’)

Yes, and I bet they never consider why revenue is down.

Could it be the positions of people like Lopez?

I know what you mean ...

"This mostly has to do with the fact that I'm Jewish and don't believe in God." WTF? Those two things are incompatible.

Yes! I noticed the same thing. What a buffoon.

"Christianity a death cult, yeah OK. Let`s put that to the test...Let the LA Times publish a cartoon of Jesus and then one of Mohammed and see what happens."

Good one.

"Christianity is a pro-life religion."

Amen.
