I was often told in confession that my primary problem was desire of control..or power regardless of what I shared. I must accept my "call to sainthood" & the suffering that came w/ it. I wasn't submitting to or receiving Jesus fully. Clerics can only see women thru that lens 1/4
I'm not even a proponent of women's ordination (except maybe as deacons). I just don't find the arguments against it all that strong. Like look at what you are saying. "Women are only forbidden from hierarchical positions..." But yay, they can be martyrs!

Someone at his parish thought it would make me feel better 2 know that he "brought a lot of good to them & they were glad he took the opportunity to go." They've got no idea how crazy what they're saying & what they're assuming sounds. That's parish grooming & lay clericalism.
They will never stop thinking this about survivors, ever. This is why the Church can't change. Sure it's the clergy's fault, but it's also squarely the fault of clericalist laity. Priests couldn't abuse and get away with it if the rest of us were looking out for each other.

100% on point commentary "As someone who grew up in Charismatic Catholic circles and ended up at Franciscan University of Steubenville, this article was hard to get through...Fr. Rolph reads like he was cut from the same cookie cutter as a lot of abusive priests around here."
Their technique involves subtly violating boundaries until the victim has a panic attack, a flashback or an autistic meltdown, Then they tell the victim that the intense suffering is actually caused by a demon.

This is what normally happens in the church. Predators are not usually laicized unless they request it themselves. The Vatican prefers that they request it. No tolerance isn't real. It's just something bishops say.
It's downright wild that a priest can do something THIS HORRENDOUS and the only reason he was laicized so fast is that he himself asked for it.

My penance this year is to not harm myself or my healing by adding more burdens to my body or my day to day. It's the opposite of my abuse, and a change that I know God is happy to see.
I don't know who needs to hear this but if you have religious trauma it's a fine Lenten penance to do no penance this Lent, or to resolve to permit God to be extra nice to you this Lent, or to be merciful to yourself for Lent. Anything like that.

Bingo. They consider pedophilia to be a compulsion and that's why you can't get them out of the priesthood. Canon law courts tolerate this stuff the majority of the time. It encourages some of the most deviant behavior because it's more likely to be labeled as compulsive.

The answer is probably many. The Vatican does not like to laicize predators. They say that their culpability for crimes that are "habitual or compulsive" is low. They're given minor punishments or desk jobs. Truthfully, the Vatican tolerates predators most of the time.
In its statement, SNAP called Father Rupnik "a dangerous predator, likely made even bolder by the fact that…we cannot help but wonder how many less prominent perpetrators have been left in ministry because their cases did not provoke a public outcry."

This is 100% the right decision. When are the adults who have had to put up with this type of clergy grooming & abuse going to be protected? Many of our abusers are still on the job including mine.

I agree. I'm my opinion someone has led him astray spiritually because they're having him focus on himself as a martyr. That would mean in his mind the people he hurt...well that stuff had to happen. God's plan because otherwise how would he be where he is now? Those women

I also belonged to a parish for two years that had two married priests. It ran just fine. There was a rectory/house and the second priest lived off campus with his family. All their kids went to the attached school. When they had to be at events they just brought their whole

Vsafe is self reporting. It's different than looking at the actual number of medical issues (& severity) that were proven to be linked to vaccination. That number will be much lower. It's really important to look at data in context & not give it meaning it wasn't meant to have

I didn't know what to call it when someone manipulates you into telling them all of your secrets and weaknesses, and at the same time convinces you that your own judgement or discernment can't be trusted. That efforts to refuse submission are of the devil. 2/4

It's a matter of public interest if it fuels the abuse crisis. They're making themselves targets for blackmail. This is about whether or not we're actually interested in prevention. Prevention removes red flags. Thinking your above conduct and behavior promises is a red flag

says you can still be a priest in good standing if you've:
-caused someone to lose the ability to practice their faith w/o further trauma
-caused significant loss of enjoyment of life
-caused a child to develop a severe anxiety disorder from watching their mother
@FrJimRolph
The diocese also told me that they do not consider Rolph "suspended" and that he remains a priest "in good standing."
If he is in good standing and not suspended, then was his stay at the "behavior health center" voluntary? It's all coming off like diocese face-saving spin.

I was ruled credible. Still getting pennies compared to the cost to my family. There are thousands of other survivors in my situation. Dioceses depend on us not having the legal knowledge or the funds to hire a lawyer before our SOL runs out. It's an abuse of the poor.

There's a book about that subject that might interest you. It's called "Predators," by Dr. Ann Salter. She's an expert in her field. We don't really know that that's true for a large category of predators & we have to be careful about accepting information that has historically

My question is what exactly does Tim think men should do if their wife says no. Despite having all of this "marital wisdom" parroted to them. What's within his rights? Does he have any sympathy for women suffering through marital rape because of this rhetoric?

Just to clear it up, I suffer from complex post traumatic stress disorder which is a brain injury from trauma, not a chemical imbalance. Although that is a vulnerability, I don't have trouble w/ reality. Nice try

There have been numerous times where
@bishopboyea
announced issues w/ priests that were not a sexual abuse report. Keep in mind that according to the DOL, sexual harassment is not sexual abuse as was communicated to my husband by HR director Lisa Kutas by email. Fr. David
@FrJimRolph
The Diocese of Lansing told me that they didn't publicly announce Rolph's leave of absence because it was not a result of a sexual abuse report. However, any time a priest is ordered to step away from ministry, it is in the public interest for the diocese to clarify the reasons.

That's an awful wait time. I dunno how they expect any kids to get treatment. We have coverage in Michigan but there are still blackout areas with no offices like your saying. It's a program gap. They meant well, but they need more participating offices.

You just outed yourself as having literally no clue what you're talking about, & it's sad that you have that level of insecurity. Hopefully you'll change your tune when you or someone you love needs cardiac care after a heart transplant, bypass surgery, or cardiac event.

I had not read Be Restored, and this is the most repulsive thing I've seen all day. Does
@JPIIHealing
support the idea that pedophiles (who cannot be cured) have free access to children as long as their family healing was "extra complete." My God, how evil.
CW: child sexual abuse and Catholicism.
As many of you know, I've been writing on the work of Dr. Bob Schuchts, Sr. Miriam Heidlund, and the John Paul II Healing Center. Most recently I've been reviewing Schuchts's book "Be Healed." What I've discovered is utterly shocking. 🧵
