Angry Catholic Show 4.2.22
13. My GREAT, basically PERFECT conversation with Kris and Paul from the Angry Catholic Show podcast On April 2, 2022. The content and topic are so important, and the episode has been so well received, that I've decided to simply re-run it on my podcast. We start off talking about Bishop Stika and Knoxville and then broaden out to a discussion of the more general problems with certain bishops, and the hierarchy, of the Catholic Church, and why so LITTLE has changed in not just 20 but 40 years.

Stika, The Seminarian & SLU
12. The Catholic Church wants you to believe it is Contrite and things have Changed. However, the actions of Bishop Rick Stika of Knoxville, the case of The Seminarian, and the the cross state and diocese collusion of the Archdiocese of St. Louis and St. Louis University (SLU) with Stika and Knoxville calls all that into question.

The Way OUT is THRU
11. The way out of the crisis is NOT to avoid the problems in the Catholic Church, but to confront them. That starts with the bishops, who refuse to change.

Stika, Predation & Change
10. What's changed? Very little in terms of predation, and the tolerance of it, as is made clear by cases of seminarians tied to both Bishop Rick Stika of Knoxville and Pope Francis himself.

Fr. Mark Talk Combined +Q&A
Fr. Mark White Talk (Combined) with Question and Answer Session In late June 2021, I gave two talks about the Catholic sex abuse crisis, and its aftermath, to supporters of Fr. Mark White, a Catholic priest who is an outspoken advocate for survivors, and it being run out of the priesthood for it. This is a combined version of those talks. It also takes into account some of the reflections that hit me on my drive back to St. Louis. After the combined talk, I spend a good amount of time addressing and answering some of the questions that came up, both ones I was and wasn't able to answer in my…

My Friend the Cardinal
6. Why aren't things getting better for survivors? Actually. Because Abuse Profiteers are running the Catholic Church. Men like my friend the cardinal, a man I've known since I was a third grader at the Church of the Immacolata in St. Louis, where he saw, and turned a blind eye to, at least some of my and our sexual exploitation and abuse by Father LeRoy Valentine in the late 1970s. And then did worse as a bishop.

What's the big deal? About abuse? And having been abused? What it does to your family, as much as what it does to you.

The Program
The lie is that they didn't know, laid bare by the fact that, by the 1970s, the Archdiocese of St. Louis had in place a program -- The Program -- to manage and only God knows what else known abusers, including my abuser, Fr. LeRoy Valentine.
