Theodore,

I read about this earlier. How very sad and quite the scandal.

Although it does not make it any less a scandal, it is at least somewhat helpful to know that the Church has faced far worse eras in terms of clergy misbehavior.

Pace e' bene,

Gordo

Apparently, no details have been made public while the police authorities are finishing their investigation of the two parish pastors as requested by the Diocese of Palm Beach.

However, the diocesan website has posted Bishop Barbarito's statement and that of the Chief Financial Officer giving insights into the internal investigation the Diocese conducted.

http://www.diocesepb.org/bishop/statements/2006/st09282006.htm

Does anyone have the details?

Through the intercession of the Most Holy Mother of God, I pray that the scandals will cease and the Diocese will heal.

I heard about this on the radio I didn't know it was so close to me.
I live in West Palm Beach I offer anything I can do to help. PM me if you can use a healthy adult male.
May the entire company of the saints bless them on thier true intentions. I suspected they were hoping to divert for a good reason. Please let the Holy Spirit build up this Diocese a servant in Christ. May Christ bless and strengthen this Diocese...In the Father Son and Holy Spirit amen.

It may be of note that Palm Beach County recently also had a Political scandal involving pedifile alagations.

For all the good Catholic faithful of Palm Beach, may the good Lord grant healing and peace, to those who are distressed and worried. May God grant peace to his Church.

Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen....
