RECENT EMAIL FROM DR. BOND
Dear Friends,
Fr. Marshall Roberts, whom we long ago exposed as the third homosexual
predator priest in the Society of St. John
(http://www.saintjustinmartyr.org/news/MarshallRoberts[1].html), is once
again functioning as a priest, this time at an independent Latin Mass chapel
in York, Pennsylvania.
The "board" of Saints Peter and Paul Roman Catholic Mission
(www.saintspeterandpaulrcm.com)
voted last Monday to bring in Roberts to serve as a priest for an indefinite
period of time. This decision was made despite the warnings members of this
board had received about Roberts' predatory past. Not only were these
warnings ignored, but members of this board also falsely claimed that
certain luminaries within the traditional movement had recommended Roberts
as a priest.
Those who still wonder how predator priests like Roberts are able to move
blithely from place to place need look no farther than York, Pennsylvania
for an answer.
Pax vobiscum,
Dr. Jeffrey M. Bond

Dear Friends,
A new federal lawsuit accuses former Bishop James Timlin of covering up accusations of sexual abuse against Rev. Albert Liberatore, another pervert priest in the Diocese of Scranton. Last July, Liberatore was arraigned in New York City on three felony sexual abuse charges -- first-degree sodomy and two counts of first-degree sexual abuse -- stemming from a trip to the city with the student who has filed the lawsuit.

The lawsuit claims that Timlin had received complaints of inappropriate sexual conduct regarding Rev. Liberatore as early as 1997, but Timlin failed to investigate fully or even notify the boy's parents. According to the complaint, Timlin urged Rev. Liberatore and other priests who learned of the relationship to "put the issues behind them."
If you read the Scranton Times article linked above, you cannot fail to see the striking similarity to Timlin's cover-up for Fr. Carlos Urrutigoity and Fr. Eric Ensey of the Society of St. John.
Pax vobiscum,
Dr. Jeffrey M. Bond
