‘Some of you will go to jail’: Catholic lay group investigates corruption in US hierarchy  'To those bishops and priests leading a double life, characterized by deplorable immorality, corruption and cowardice, our advice is to repent or step down now. We are coming for you' PETERSBURG, Illinois, September 22, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — The Catholic lay group famous for exposing a predatory homosexual bishop and a pornographic online chatroom for homosexual priests two decades ago is initiating a wide-ranging investigation into clerical sexual abuse and possible corruption and coverups by American bishops. Roman Catholic Faithful (RCF) announced its “Operation Transparency” earlier...

[Catholic Caucus] Accused Fresno Priest Sues Roman Catholic Faithful Stephen Brady: 'I'm looking forward to the discovery process' FRESNO, Calif. (ChurchMilitant.com) - A California priest facing multiple allegations of homosexual abuse is suing a decades-old Catholic watchdog group Roman Catholic Faithful (RCF). On Friday, RCF and its president, Stephen Brady, were served with a lawsuit from Msgr. Craig Harrison, a priest of the troubled diocese of Fresno, California.  A statement by RCF acknowledges that Harrison is seeking "unlimited" damages for Brady's "appearance at a press conference in Bakersfield" that addressed "allegations of sexual misconduct" made against Harrison. During the May conference, adds the statement, Brady "also discussed RCF's 2004 investigation of...

(ChurchMilitant.com) - Lansing's Bp. Earl Boyea announced yesterday that he is finally taking action against Fr. William Auth, O.S.F.S., following publication of an exhaustive, damning investigative report by Roman Catholic Faithful (RCF) on June 30 warning that the priest is possibly involved in a multi-million-dollar financial scam and is a threat to minor children.

Cupich targeted in ad A former Rapid City Catholic bishop is under attack from a group called the Roman Catholic Faithful. The group is investigating Cardinal Blase Cupich for a role they believe he played in a massive cover up of sexual abuse by the Catholic priests. The ad placed in the Rapid City Journal calls on local Catholics to come forward with evidence against Cupich. Roman Catholic Faithful, or RCF, is a not-for-profit organization based out of Illinois. On Thursday, they placed an ad in the Rapid City Journal asking for input from local Catholics on the actions of...

SD Bishop Calls Catholic Group ‘Evil’ for Opposing Cardinal Cupich RAPID CITY, S.D. (ChurchMilitant.com) - A bishop is calling a Catholic apostolate "evil" for being critical of Cdl. Blase Cupich. Bishop Robert Gruss of Rapid City, South Dakota issued a statement to be read from all parish pulpits the weekend of Feb. 9–10 condemning the apostolate Roman Catholic Faithful (RCF). "Recently there have been ads in the Rapid City Journal paid for by a Mr. Steven [sic] Brady, founder and president of Roman Catholic Faithful," Bp. Gruss notes. "According to their website, Roman Catholic Faithful claims to be a network of faithful laity, investigators and...

Roman Catholic Faithful (RCF) is back, and it's leading the charge against homosexualist corruption in the archdiocese of Chicago.  On Saturday, Jan. 5, followers of the Illinois-based defender of Catholic orthodoxy gathered for a rally near Mundelein Seminary, where the U.S. bishops were sequestered for a week of "prayer and unity." The RCF conference drew hundreds of concerned laity and gave evidence of a rising groundswell of opposition to business-as-usual among the hierarchy. Founder and President Stephen Brady rallied concerned Catholics to confront bad bishops directly and to be creative in fighting to roll back the rot. He told his audience his goal is...

I asked Judie Brown, president of American Life League, to comment on the latest media release from the Obama-loving, vomit-inducing Catholics United calling on the Family Research Council and the Stop the Abortion Mandate campaign to "suspend these efforts immediately," with CU's executive director Chris Korzen asserting that said efforts "pose perhaps the single greatest threat to the passage of health care reform." Judie Brown's response: 'Catholics United has verbally excoriated the Family Research Council's factual campaign to expose the sordid pro-death underbelly of the Obama health care plan. By doing this Catholics United has united itself to those who...

The Roman Catholic Faithful (RCF) is simply what our name states: we are Catholics who are faithful to the teachings of the Holy Father and the Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church. Some of our members are priests, others are religious, but most are ordinary laity. Our diverse membership has a common goal -- to fight actively and spiritually to restore Holy Mother Church. The following was originally published in monthly installments through The Wanderer. A word of caution. This is a lengthy but riveting article. Agony in Albany

The leader of a Catholic watchdog group announced today that the formation of a clergy misconduct review board, while a good idea, would merit “no credibility” if it failed to include his organization on its committee. Stephen G. Brady, president of the Roman Catholic Faithful, Inc. (RCF) cited RCF’s investigation of former Springfield, IL Bishop Daniel Ryan in his organization’s ability to bring truth to the investigation. “RCF has been the only organization or individual with credibility in investigating Ryan and the clergy of this diocese since 1995,” Brady stated. “While the diocese repeatedly denied allegations against Ryan and belittled...

(AgapePress) - A group that exposes abuses within the Roman Catholic Church says the diocese of Springfield, Illinois, is a "hotbed" of homosexual perversion. Last month, Catholic priest Eugene Costa was found severely beaten and unconscious in a Springfield park that has a reputation as a hangout for homosexuals. Now the diocese has stripped Costa of his parish and his position as chancellor because of his history of lurid behavior. Stephen Brady, with the group Roman Catholic Faithful, calls the decision to remove Costa a "preemptive strike," and contends the diocese is doing damage control. "The diocese is removing Costa...

Cardinal Francis George of Chicago - The Pope’ s Retreat Master. "While Bishop of Yakima, Archbishop George joined Seattle Archbishop Thomas Murphy and Spokane Bishop William Skylstad in opposing an anti-gay rights initiative that they felt was punitive [to sodomite couples]." May 2, 1997 Chicago Archdiocesan newspaper. Cardinal Francis George of Chicago who heads one of the largest archdioceses in the United States, responsible for providing a large portion of funds needed to run the Vatican, was found to be sharing his residence with a priest who, before becoming a priest, abused a boy. According to a February 28, 2003...

Are The Sodomites In Control? No help from Rome - The Vatican is the problem By Stephen Brady A "doctor" who obtained his degree and license to practice medicine by theft, blackmail and deception is not really a doctor despite the fact that he can legally practice medicine. A Catholic bishop is no different in my opinion. If he reached his position in life with lies, deception, blackmail, and/or sexual favors, he may legally be able to run the diocese but he is not a prince of the Church. We must expose the perverts who parade as bishops. The following...

Just what is the Bernardin Legacy? Ask that simple question to any Catholic and the answers you receive will vary from one extreme to the other. One either loved him or despised him. But regardless of your personal opinion of the man there is one point, I believe, we can all agree on: He was a powerful and influential individual, both politically and spiritually. James Hitchcock wrote in an article published shortly after the Cardinal’s death that: “He [Bernardin] consistently used his influence to promote liberal causes, even attacks on Church teachings and traditions.” Hitchcock went on to say: “...he...

Things have been awfully quiet around here. I wondered when we'd get an update.

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...

It has been nearly eighty-four months since Stephen G. Brady, the founder and President of Roman Catholic Faith, Inc., held a press conference at the Springfield Hilton to level very serious charges of personal immorality against the Bishop of the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois, the Most Reverend Daniel Ryan. The charges are so salacious that to reprint them again would be an occasion of sin. Although members of the secular press were in attendance at that press conference, no mention of the event ever appeared in the local newspaper, the Springfield Journal State-Register. No mention of the event was...
