The area’s most prolific predator just passed away too.

Bevilaqua’s lawyers could have volunteered evidence of Bevilaqua’s alleged ill health. They chose not to, and now they’re bellyaching because a judge wants some kind of proof instead of taking them at their word. She’s a smart judge.

Tomorrow, a serial predator priest, Fr. Alejandro “Alex” Castillo will be taken in to custody in order to serve his prison time for pleading guilty to child sexual abuse. A year ago, he was removed from Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in Ontario when allegations surfaced that he abused two brothers within last two years.

Once again we see that Catholic officials cannot be trusted to even conduct so called "independent" investigations of clergy sex crimes and cover ups.

Imagine if a gang member with a long criminal record announced he was reforming and would start cooperating with police voluntarily, but in reality he continues to submit to police questioning only when subpoenaed?

James McGreal, a notorious predator priest from Seattle, has passed away.

We’re saddened but not surprised that another child sex abuse report involving Fr. Jack Spaulding is surfacing. Child predators rarely strike only once.

In an unusual move, clergy sex abuse victims are praising Belleville’s controversial Catholic bishop for his honesty.
