Ex-altar boy who killed himself mourned in church where he was molested



Brian Gergely, who died at 46, battled alcoholism from the age of 10, amid what a grand jury concluded was widespread rape and abuse in Pennsylvania

Luther recalled that Gergely, an altar boy, would get pulled out of class and told to go to the church “to help the monsignor”.

That was Father Francis McCaa, who was called a monster by a state grand jury in March. Its report concluded that he was among at least 50 priests in the local Altoona-Johnstown diocese who had systematically raped and molested hundreds of boys and girls for 40 years, while bishops covered it up and the criminal justice system looked the other way. McCaa died in 2007, at 82.

Gergely killed himself earlier this month at 46.

In the meantime assholes in Maine....


A US Christian group in Maine called ‘Equal Rights, not Special Rights’ is campaigning to recriminalize homosexuality.

The group was created by Mike Heath and other heads of the Christian Civic League of Maine.

The group have said that they’re tired of “being forced” to accept homosexual lifestyles.

Heath said that “the war is on.”

I guess that puts the lie to their claim that it was just a "few."

I guess it depends on what your definition of few is . . . .


AFAIK, the pedo priest problem is isolated to just one planet out of a universe filled with BILLIONS of galaxies.

Well, AFAIK, the decoy was an adult female, this is actually good news for the Catholics for a change.

HAMBURG, Iowa —A Page County priest was arrested Saturday morning after he allegedly tried to persuade an undercover source to perform sexual acts in exchange for money.

KJAN reports that Fremont County Sheriff’s deputies arrested The Rev. Dominic Yamoah, 40, of Clarinda, who faces solicitation charges and is being held at the Fremont County Law Enforcement Center on $2,000 bond.
Deputies conducted the investigation into solicitation of prostitution in Hamburg, about 40 miles southwest of Clarinda.
Yamoah serves as a priest at the St. Clare Parish in Clarinda and St. Joseph Parish in Villisca.

BTW, Hamburg is a small farm town, pop. ~1200.

Surprised they have a prostitution problem that merits the state patrol coming in and doing a sting.

Iowa is nothing but small towns....
