July 27, 2018 (The Wanderer) – For years, the late Paul Likoudis, editor of the orthodox Catholic newspaper, The Wanderer, chronicled the role of homosexuality in the crimes committed by clerics. Long before the Boston Globe published its “exposé” in early 2002, Paul reported on one instance after another of abuse and cover-up in chanceries nationwide. For his yeoman efforts, he was ridiculed, hectored, threatened, bullied, and, above all, studiously ignored whenever possible by one guilty bishop after another.  When the Globe’s series appeared in January 2002, the bishops could no longer persist in their obstinate denial. But they immediately insisted...

The Neo-Catholic Dead End! by Thomas E. Woods, Jr. Ph.D. The Wanderer, a periodical that has done some good work over the years chronicling the antics of an American hierarchy almost too contemptible to be worth discussing, is attacking traditionalists again. Many readers will remember the attacks of Stephen Hand two years ago, inanely comparing traditionalists with modernists because both criticize some of the actions of the hierarchy. Chris Ferrara and I responded to each of his articles with essays of our own, and we were gratified to find that quite a few people became traditionalists as a direct result...

STATEMENT TO THE PRESS Crown Plaza Hotel, Albany, February 22, 2004 by Paul Likoudis The death of my good friend and close collaborator for the past 13 years is devastating to me personally and completely unnecessary. Do I blame Bishop Howard Hubbard for this tragedy? Yes, I do. But there are other culprits and hosts of guilty bystanders. After the release of Agony In Albany 13 years ago, a ten-part series on the dismal record of Bishop Hubbard in this diocese, which I wrote with the close cooperation of Fr. Minkler, the bishop should have had the decency to resign,...

Albany -- Meeting hosted by conservative church group enlivened by accusations, confrontations The author of a series of 1991 articles critical of Bishop Howard Hubbard's leadership of the Albany Roman Catholic Diocese identified a priest, who died Feb. 15 under unclear circumstances after being linked to allegations of homosexuality against the bishop, as a "close collaborator" for his stories. "He became my guide for 'Agony in Albany,' " Paul Likoudis said Sunday, describing the Rev. John Minkler as a primary source for his series in The Wanderer, a Minnesota-based weekly Catholic newspaper that questioned Hubbard's leadership."That work had my name...

ALBANY - A rift among local Catholics precipitated by the sexual abuse scandal in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany and recent allegations against Bishop Howard Hubbard was seen in living color Sunday night as two women screamed in each other's face. The shouting match took place at the Crowne Plaza hotel, where The Roman Catholic Faithful, a non-profit organization that claims it promotes orthodox Catholic teaching and fights corruption in the church's hierarchy, held a meeting to discuss its investigation into the Albany Diocese. More than 100 people attended, many hoping to get some answers about the diocese's crisis,...

Outside the hotel, was a small group of catholics carrying purple placards in support of the bishop. I arrived inside the small conference room around 5:45pm and was surprised that nearly all of the seats were taken! There were, of course, camera crews from every local tv media, reporters from Reuters, the Times Union, the Troy Record and several radio stations as well. Stephen Brady stepped up to the microphone promptly at 6pm. He began the meeting, by asking everyone to pray the Memorare. As he finished, the Hubbard supporters marched into the room chanting "We support the bishop". Brady...

BOOK REVIEW of: AMCHURCH COMES OUT by Paul Likoudis AMCHURCH COMES OUT is boldly proclaimed by the title of a new book by Paul Likoudis, that is subtitled “The U.S. Bishops, Pedophile Scandals and the Homosexual Agenda.” So what is Amchurch, who is Paul Likoudis and why should you care? First and foremost, you should care if you believe that Jesus Christ is indeed “the way, and the truth, and the life” as Christ Himself proclaimed in John 14:6. People of other faiths or those who do not adhere to a particular religion, but live according to a moral code...
