Rudy Giuliani’s old friend Alan Placa, a priest, accused of sex abuse of children
In civil lawsuits, the three of them say that as youngsters, they were sexually molested by Giuliani’s long-time best friend Msgr. Alan Placa, a pal Giuliani apparently stands by to this day. (They were classmates, fraternity brothers, went on double-dates and have been buddies for more than 40 years.)

(They were classmates, fraternity brothers, went on double-dates and have been buddies for more than 40 years.)
In 2002, just a few weeks after Placa was suspended by his bishop because of Tollner’s abuse report, Giuliani not only publicly proclaimed Placa’s innocence, he also put Placa on the payroll of his company, Giuliani Partners, supposedly as a “senior vice-president.”
And one year later, a report surfaced in New York that concluded that Placa:
tried to molest an altar boy (and) was then given an assignment that “provided a large and continuous source of boys — a school,” and
was instrumental in developing the church’s policy to handle allegations of sexual abuse of children by other priests, using “deception and intimidation” to essentially keep the scandals quiet.
He was also on the board of a Massachusetts-based church-sponsored “treatment center” to which predator priests were sent. It eventually closed after repeated scandals.
How close are Giuliani and Placa?
“Few people are closer to Giuliani than Placa,” Rolling Stone magazine has reported. Placa “is part of the former New York mayor’s innermost circle of friends and advisers” and “played a key role in many of Giuliani’s major life events, most recently when he officiated at the 2017 wedding of Giuliani’s son, Andrew, who works at the Trump White House.”
He reportedly “found a loophole” that allowed Giuliani to annul his first marriage, then performed the service when Giuliani married his next wife, baptized their children, “officiated at the funeral of Giuliani’s mother, and was photographed on a trip to Rome with Giuliani and his third wife.”
But the bottom line is that Giuliani’s dear friend is accused of molesting three boys and has been described as “the imperious architect of policies that protected pedophiles” (in the words of the New York Times. Still, “America’s Mayor” loyally stands by him, just like Giuliani loyally stands by Trump.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
