New book on John Paul II ‘Why He's a Saint’ is a pack of lies

The ugly old pope John Paul II

A new book is out about John Paul II that says he used a belt to whip himself and that it also includes previously unpublished speeches. So what if he whipped himself, he was heartless, cold-blooded and had no compassion for one single victim among the 12,000 American victims of the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army in USA and now in Ireland. So what if he wrote more speeches – they are merely clashing cymbals of St. Paul see John Paul II the Great clashing cymbal of St. Paul http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2009/11/john-paul-ii-great-clashing-cymbal-of.html, seeBenedict XVI to beatify John Paul II is “brought to nothing” by St. Paul http://pope-ratz.blogspot.com/2009/11/benedict-xvi-to-beatify-john-paul-ii-is.html


John Paul II can never be a saint because he condoned priest pedophilia brewing right under his holy papal nose and Holy See. A holy saint can never tolerate evil in his presence but John Paul II smelled and took in the stench of sodomy inside his narcissistic heart. See Biggest Vatican stories of the decade: John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army committed Holy ES Eucharist-and-Sodomy of Biblical proportions http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2010/01/biggest-vatican-stories-of-decade-john.html

More unpublished speeches? Haven’t we heard enough from him and of him, the Pope who led the most heinous crime against children in the history of Christendom? Isn’t this the pope who has written the most number of books, encyclicals and speeches in the history of Catholicism? But not once did he write at lenght about the priest-pedophilia that was brewing during his 26 years papacy?


The Opus Dei wants to make John Paul II a saint as fast as their St. Josemaria so they can quote them together daily. They are the same ghost writers who wrote for him when he was alive. The Opus Dei greed for World Domination is unstoppable and they want to dominate through the writings of "saint" John Paul II together with the books of their founder "saint" Josemaria Escriva. They have their own Opus Dei publishing companies worldwide see http://www.odan.org/opus_dei_in_the_media.htm


If this book claim that he used to whip himself, then it proves that he was a member of Opus Dei like what the Da Vinci Code movie showed. See the corporal mortifications of Opus Dei http://www.odan.org/corporal_mortification.htm And this is the Opus Dei whip http://www.odan.org/images/discipline_2004.jpg

Of course, there was not blood in John Paul II’s body, or it would have shown through his white papal robe. But this is sheer nonsense and a pack of lies to try to make him look like a saint in the WAY of the OPUS Dei. See the calice of Opus Dei http://www.odan.org/images/cilice_2004.jpg

We do not need to read more of what he says from his grave because really there is a giant millstone tied to his already broken neck in hell.

St. Josemaria Escriva and Venerable John Paul II has a Mystical Marriage unique in the Vatican, and Benedict XVI is their clone child, that’s why he is a GAY because Escriva and Karol Woytila were both men.

If I were to enter a one-minute vignette on John Paul II in the new reality TV show 'On the Lot' this is how it would be.


Title: MR. Pope John Paul II and MRS.Saint Josemaria de Opus Dei


Subtitle: The new Mystical Marriage in the Catholic Church of the Pope and Opus Dei

Wedding song: You and Me against the World


Reality: The Groom Pope John Paul II wears robe in white (only) and the Bride Saint Josemaria de Opus Dei wears robe in black (only).


The Groom's name John Paul is a composite of two males (same-sex, gay), the Bride's name Josemaria is androgynous - one name of a male and a female (go figure, like the Androgynous Devil in the Passion of the Christ movie)) Actually, heshe has mutated hisher name so many times it taste bitter to pronounce hisher name
see: http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2006/11/john-paul-ii-and-saint-josemaria.html


The Church is the Mystical Bride and Christ is the Bridegroom, so it is said (and taught)in Catholic Catechism. That wedding took place in the first century. In the 20th century a new mystical gay wedding took place at the Vatican when MRS. Saint Josemaria 'bought' the Vatican for 1 Billion to bail it out of the scandal of the Ambrosiano Bank. This was hisher mystical Opus Dei bridal dowry.
(see www.OctopusDei.org and http://www.odan.org/escriva%27s_empire.htm


MR.Pope John Paul II abolished the office of the Devil's Advocate -- the office that proved anything negative and why a person must not be canonized a saint. That is why he was able to canonize his bride, MRS.Saint Josemaria as the fastest saint to be canonized in modern times.


So instead of spending his gay time examining his JPIIPPA John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army and using his gay papal powers to stop their heinous gay pedophiliac activities during his 26 years papacy, MR. John Paul wallowed in narcisstic self-glory with MRS. Saint Josemaria as they spent their honeymoon in the gay papal bed at the Vatican -- and prepared also for his own imminent canonization by his papal clone Benedict XVI -- their mystical marriage gay love child.


Ending: St. Michael the Archangel pushes the John Paul II Millstone...... and MR.John Paul II rolls into the deep Tiber River...... and MRS.Saint Josemaria is weeping as an androgynous widow with blood dripping from hisher black cossack ......surrounded by wailing Opus Dei members beating their heads against the walls of the 86 Billion Euro Vatican real estate they've acquired......with blood dripping also from their pants - because of the cilice they wear around their thighs!

WRITTEN BY OPUS DEI GHOST WRITERS

Book: John Paul II used belt to whip himself

‘Why He's a Saint’ also includes previously unpublished speeches

Tues., Jan. 26, 2010

VATICAN CITY - Pope John Paul II whipped himself with a belt, even on vacation, and slept on the floor as acts of penitence and to bring him closer to Christian perfection, according to a new book by the Polish prelate spearheading his sainthood case.

The book "Why He's a Saint" also includes previously unpublished speeches and documents written by John Paul, including one 1989 signed memo in which he said he would resign if he became incapacitated.

The book also reported for the first time that John Paul forgave his would-be assassin in the ambulance on the way to the hospital moments after he was shot on May 13, 1981, in St. Peter's Square. And it reported that he initially thought his attacker was a member of the Italian terrorist organization the Red Brigades.

The book was written by Monsignor Slawomir Oder, the postulator, or main promoter, for John Paul's canonization cause and was released Tuesday. It was based on the testimony of the 114 witnesses and boxes of documentation Oder gathered on John Paul's life to support the case.

At a news conference Tuesday, Oder defended John Paul's practice of self-mortification, which some faithful use to remind them of the suffering of Jesus on the cross.

"It's an instrument of Christian perfection," Oder said, responding to questions about how such a practice could be condoned considering Catholic teaching holds that the human body is a gift from God.

In the book, Oder wrote that John Paul frequently denied himself food — especially during the holy season of Lent — and "frequently spent the night on the bare floor," messing up his bed in the morning so he wouldn't draw attention to his act of penitence.

"But it wasn't limited to this. As some members of his close entourage in Poland and in the Vatican were able to hear with their own ears, John Paul flagellated himself. In his armoire, amid all the vestments and hanging on a hanger, was a belt which he used as a whip and which he always brought to Castel Gandolfo," the papal retreat where John Paul vacationed each summer.

While there had long been rumors that John Paul practiced self-mortification, the book provides the first confirmation and concludes John Paul did so as an example of his faith.

Fast-track

Pope Benedict XVI put John Paul on the fast-track for possible sainthood weeks after his April 2, 2005 death by waiving the customary five-year waiting period before the process can begin. Last month, Benedict moved John Paul a step closer to possible beatification — the first major milestone in the process — by approving a decree on his "heroic virtues."

The Vatican must now confirm that a miracle attributed to John Paul's intercession occurred in order for him to be beatified — a step which many Vatican watchers have suggested may come as early as October.

Oder declined to speculate on any possible date, saying the miracle must still be confirmed.

The book publishes for the first time a never-delivered speech John Paul prepared for his weekly general audience Oct. 21, 1981, five months after the Turkish gunman, Ali Agca, shot him in St. Peter's Square.

Agca served a 19-year sentence in an Italian prison for shooting the pope, and earlier this month was released from a Turkish jail where he served a 10-year sentence for killing a Turkish journalist in 1979.

John Paul had publicly forgiven Agca on May 17, 1981 — four days after the assassination attempt. And he visited Agca in prison in 1983.

But five months after the attack, John Paul prepared a lengthy treatise on the power of forgiveness and the need for it in society, using his own experience as an example.

"The act of forgiveness is the first and fundamental condition so that we aren't divided and placed one against another like enemies," he wrote in what Oder called "an open letter" to Agca.

In the speech, he revealed that he while he had publicly forgiven Agca on May 17, "the possibility of pronouncing it before — in the ambulance that brought me from the Vatican to the Gemelli hospital where the first and decisive surgery was performed — I consider the fruit of a particular grace given to me by Jesus."

Oder speculates that John Paul decided against delivering the speech "out of prudence" for the ongoing criminal investigation into the shooting.

The book also reports for the first time that John Paul initially thought that the shooter had been a member of the Red Brigades, the radical leftist group that terrorized Italy in the 1970s and 80s. Some time before the shooting, the Italian secret service had reported to the Vatican a plot by the Red Brigades to kidnap the pope, the book said.

John Paul was apparently thinking of this when he told his secretary in the ambulance going to the hospital: "Just like Bachelet," an apparent reference to the assassination by the Red Brigades of the Catholic judge Vittorio Bachelet one year earlier, the book said.

Criteria for retirement

The book also reports that John Paul first considered the possibility of resigning when he turned 75, the normal retirement age for bishops, going so far as to convene a group of close collaborators for an informal discussion on the topic.

He tasked then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, head of the Vatican's orthodoxy office and future Pope Benedict XVI, to study the theological and historic issues implied in having an "emeritus pope."

In the end, John Paul left the question up to "providence" — he never resigned.

But he did outline on two separate occasions the criteria for which he would do so.

In 1994, he wrote what appeared to be a speech to be delivered to cardinals in which said he intended to resign "in the case of an illness determined to be incurable and which impedes the (sufficient) exercise of the function of the petrine ministry."

In a memo signed and dated five years earlier, on Feb. 15, 1989, he similarly wrote that if he was unable to sufficiently do his job because of an incurable illness, he would "renounce my sacred and canonical office" and leave it up to the top cardinals to carry out his wishes.

John Paul suffered from Parkinson's disease for many years before he eventually died of septic shock and cardiocirculatory collapse, preceded by heart and kidney failure brought on by a urinary tract infection.

Prior to his death, John Paul had been in and out of the hospital for two months and, by the end, had lost the ability to speak.

The book goes on sale in Italy on Wednesday. The publisher Rizzoli said there were no immediate plans for translations.

Biggest Vatican stories of the decade: John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army committed Holy ES Eucharist-and-Sodomy of Biblical proportions

Voyages of the Pope, papal books, encyclicals, papal letters and decrees, appointments of bishops and pompous ceremonies at the Vatican, they are old news, redundant news and irrelevant news because they are clashing-cymbals-news that have to do nothing with charity. Been there, seen that, and heard that. See the John Paul II Millstone, John Paul II the Great clashing cymbals of St. Paul http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2009/11/john-paul-ii-great-clashing-cymbal-of.html The papacy, Benedict XVI, and his Catholic eunuchs at the Magisterium want to absolutely control the trillion $$$ Vatican Bank and the “salvation” of more than 1.2 billion Catholics through papal pompous ceremonies and the powerful Sacraments of Priesthood, Eucharist and Penance. These are the 3 sacraments they must try to perpetuate and threaten everyone who doesn’t believe them with excommunication. The fact is, these are the sacraments which were the same instruments of the most evil crime against children committed by the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army - during the longest 26 years papacy of John Paul II, which was controlled by now Benedict XVI.

The John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army is the name that Benedict XVI and the Vatican, and the 1.2 billion Catholics cannot tolerate to hear because it is the singular evil crime of the Roman Catholic Church in the last quarter of the 20th century and of the dawn of the first decade of the 3rd Millennium - that can prove that John Paul II is not a saint.

The John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army has cost 2.2 billion dollars in America alone, but that is peanuts because Cardinal Mahony of Los Angeles sends 1 billion dollars of revenue each year to the Trillion $$$ Vatican Bank. When Boston erupted with priest-pedophilia (a term that continues to erupt up to now in Ireland), we revealed that the “most holy fathers” are also the same “worst demonic fathers” of the Roman Catholic Church and Cardinal Bernard Law aided, abetted and covered-them-up with his mighty powers. We forced him to resign and we got rid of him - out of our land and out of our sight. But John Paul II promoted him in Rome, only in the Roman Catholic church are criminals rewarded and glorified http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2009/12/john-paul-ii-pedophile-priests-army.html



It isn’t easy to convince Catholics who “eat” the Eucharist-flesh-of-Christ “believe” that those holy-priestly hands are the same priestly-beasts that have sexually abuse the most vulnerable of society, the innocent altar boys and girls? The holiest men have become the most evil men and the holiest places of the Catholic churches have become hidden-living-hells for children. Benedict XVI and Catholics insist that the Sacrament of Penance will simply “forgive and forget” the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army. Benedict XVI and most Catholics who have never met a victim will insist on the magic potion of the sacraments.

As victims of the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army testify, the Sacrament of Penance or Reconciliation cannot make them (and us) forgive-and-forget the mouths and hands that performed the alchemy-magic-of-the-Eucharist are the same matrix clones of Satan deceiving and sodomizing young boys…worse than the Sodom and Gomorrah during the time of Noah. At least, in the time of Noah, the flesh-of-Christ was not mixed and intricately intertwined with Sodomy. The John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army performed combined Holy ES Eucharist-and Sodomy of Biblical proportion. Catholics send us hate-mail for they refuse to believe these sins of Venerable John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army are the worst kind of sexual sins more than the entire sexual sins in the Bible combined.

Catholics prefer to ignore John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army and force it to settle like the song “Dust in the Wind” http://pope-ratz.blogspot.com/2008/04/benedict-xvi-celebrates-us-trip-at.html And they prefer to call him John Paul II the Great and pray the rosary as if he was the holiest saint in modern times. They tell us to “Read his holy books and pray the Rosary and you’ll forget the whole thing ever happened”. What? John Paul II did not have the charity of Mother Teresa of Calcutta http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2009/11/john-paul-ii-did-not-have-charity-of.html He was nothing but a clashing cymbal of St. Paul. Yes, prayer can be so numbing and deceiving that it makes prayerful-devout-Catholics prefer the pompous title of Venerable John Paul II and refuse to see his role as Pope-of-the-most-evil-crime-against-children-of-the-century and of history; hence, he is the first member of the Catholic Hall of Shame http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2009/11/john-paul-ii-is-first-member-of.html.

Catholics believe that the media-control and media-monopoly of the Vatican will make the world “forget” the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army. Catholics believe that prayer and money solve everything. The Catholic mantra is “’Pray, pay, obey’ and you are guaranteed a place in Heaven”. Catholics believe that the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army will soon be dust in history books like the horrendous crimes of the Inquisition and torture of women in the Middle Ages.



The magical opium effect of the Eucharist is so numbing and blinding to the reality of sins of the Roman Catholic Church. And FOR THE SAKE of the EUCHARIST, Catholics will continue to adulate John Paul II and Benedict XVI who aided and abetted the most evil crimes against children. Wake up, people, Benedict XVI has no power to say "Let there be God in the Eucharist" just like he has no power to say "Let there be light " in Genesis http://pope-ratz.blogspot.com/2009/12/benedict-xvi-has-no-power-to-say-let.html

Benedict XVI cannot even command the clouds to rain at the Vatican, neither can he command God-the-creator to come down on his hands at Mass. The EUCHARIST or MASS is the BIGGEST LIE on the planet and the Pope and priests are the BIGGEST LIARS – that is why they are able to commit the Venerable John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army bestial sins of Biblical proportion !


John Allen the Vaticanista herald of John Paul II the Great

John Allen is one of the most brilliant journalists of the Catholic Church that he can write about the greatness of the popes and make the memory of the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army appear like it was “loads of fun”. As he writes in his most recent post: “but the debates they trigger can be loads of fun, and I considered going that route”. “Sexual abuse crisis” is a “loads of fun” to write about? John Allen, Jr. is evidently a deranged Vaticanista! Like the Pope and those Vatican eunuchs, he is out-of-touch with reality.

For damage control, the Vatican hires publicity-spin journalists and one of the foremost Vaticanista John Allen Jr, whom we reveal him in depth here http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2009/12/john-allen-defender-of-vatican.html John Allen Jr is at it again, as the author of the book ‘Opus Dei’, he is a tentacle of Octopus Dei. He cites that one of the 3 biggest stories is the “clergy sexual abuse”. Does anyone notice that he’ll never call it “pedophile priests” because Opus Dei won't allow it? St. Josemaria Escriva called his group “The Priestly Society of the Holy Cross”. (He tried to spite the “Society of Jesus” of the Jesuits). Now the Opus Dei priests number about 1,500. So it is fair to call the 6,000 “Priestly Sodomy beasts” as the John Paul II Pedophile Priest Army http://jp2army.blogspot.com/
John Allen’s biggest Vatican stories of the decade are journalism’s redundant old news, and a cover-up of the truth and that truth by its true name is the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army.

John Allen Jr special mission is to make John Paul II-the-criminal pope as one of the “best baseball comebacks”.

John Allen is the mouthpiece of the Opus Dei to promote “John Paul II the Great”. John Allen will never call pedophile priests as such, he’ll call it “sexual abuse crisis”, vague, ambiguous, non-denominational, not precise, “sexual abuse” exactly by whom, aliens from space?

Anyone who wants to be fooled by Catholic-Vatican-spins simply has to read John Allen’s writings. John Allen report the daily pompous life of Benedict XVI to which he has exclusive access; he’ll get into the “sexual abuse crisis” only if he is forced to and if it profits his ‘All things Catholic’ column at NCR. John Allen sold his soul long time ago to St. Josemaria Escriva when he was given private access to the secretive sect of Opus Dei write his book ‘Opus Dei’ which is the only book approved by Opus Dei http://pope-ratz.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html John Allen Jr is Octopus Dei main tentacle sent to deceive Catholics everywhere. He kept praising John Paul II and Benedict XVI and their crocodile tear quasi-apology to victims of “sexual abuse crisis” http://pope-ratz.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Read the weekly articles of John Allen and he makes light “sexual abuse crisis” like “loads of fun”.

We won’t read his entire article for Abuse Tracker has given the gist of it. We don’t have to add more click to the Octopus-Dei-tentacles website of John Allen, the mouthpiece of John Paul II and Benedict XVI. This is what Abuse Tracker cited and it is enough to see that John Allen is the “clashing cymbals Vatican reporter”, just like Benedict XVI, he is “brought to nothing” by St. Paul http://pope-ratz.blogspot.com/2009/12/benedict-approved-decree-attesting-to.html

Been there, seen that, and heard that. John Allen Jr. is the deceitful and pathetic Catholic reporter tentacle of Octopus Dei World Domination Agenda http://pope-ratz.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html His name is nauseating to see and hear and to write about.

Below is his article for the New Year. Notice that the first 3 words show the cunning slimy journalism of John Allen, he writes vaguely “sexual abuse crisis”. His third line is long and detailed on Benedict XVI’s visit in the USA, but for the biggest crime in the Catholic Church, it’s merely “the sexual abuse crisis”...like “worst fashion blunders.”

The biggest Vatican stories of the decade

National Catholic Reporter
John L. Allen Jr.

'Tis the season for end-of-decade countdowns, like “best baseball comebacks” and “worst fashion blunders.” In that spirit, this column is dedicated to the biggest Vatican stories of the first decade of the 21st century.

Usually these lists reflect somebody’s opinion, and they’re designed more to entertain than to edify. You rarely learn anything you didn’t already know, but the debates they trigger can be loads of fun, and I considered going that route. For example: “Biggest Vatican stories that never happened,” including the resignation of John Paul II or a sweeping reform of the Roman Curia under Benedict XVI. Another would be “most under-appreciated Vatican stories,” such as the fact that despite the church’s reputation for strict uniformity, we now have a de facto policy of liturgical pluralism within the Latin Rite (the extraordinary form for the Tridentine liturgy and new Anglican personal ordinariates, assuming they ever get off the ground.) ...

At the big-picture level, the results should surprise no one. By a considerable margin, the three stories that topped the charts were:

•The sexual abuse crisis
•The death of John Paul II and the election of Benedict XVI
•The visit of Benedict XVI to Washington and New York in April 2008, the lone papal journey to the United States during the decade.

Now see the contrast:
John Allen’s feel-good Vatican journalism VERSUS these Victims’ personal accounts of “predatory pedophile” priests

After you read John Allen’s weekly deceitful articles in All Things Catholic, see the contrast between John Allen’s feel-good Vatican journalism glorifying-the-Popes-for-decades versus the victims’ personal horrendous-life-for-decades under “predatory pedophile” priests (as this victim calls the priest who abused her and her brother for years as sex slaves). John Allen Jr is paid tens of thousands of dollars to write for the “White Man” of the White Magisterium and the Opus Dei, but these John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army victims cannot afford John Allen Jr luxurious lifestyle…of deception and cunning just like his White Masters who pay him well. Only in the Roman Catholic Church can you serve both God and Mammon. Only in the Catholic church are criminals glorified http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2009/12/john-paul-ii-pedophile-priests-army.html


An excerpt of “Victims of sexual abuse by priests share shocking stories”

“It is a stripping of your dignity, confidence and humanity,” said Terry, “I was traumatized for decades,” he added.

Terry said priests in the Catholic church are “god-like figures” and that no one intervened on his behalf because his tormentor was “a White man supported by his White institution,” the Catholic church.





St. Procopius Catholic Church


Sins of the Fathers - Part II

“I always listened as they said ‘lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil' but they were bestowing evil upon us at the same time,” said Alicia.
Alicia Sample told The Final Call about a six-year ordeal in which she was used as a sex slave, gang raped, sodomized and physically beaten regularly by Fr. Fitzmaurice and others, at his behest.

Fr. Fitzmaurice had a group of young men that acted as his henchmen, and he would sometimes get Alicia out of class during school hours and order Alicia to report to what he called “the clubhouse.”

“It would be explained like I was doing a project or helping with work that needed to be done toward our tuition,” said Alicia.

Once she arrived there, she would be ordered to perform various sexual acts on some of Fr. Fitzmaurice's henchmen, other young priests-in-training, and even other students who went to the school.

Alicia said the priest would order her to perform oral sex on them and tell them to beat her if she refused. He would threaten to have her and her siblings removed from school if she refused to comply with his deviant sexual wishes.

“They would penetrate me sometimes with objects, they would anally rape me,” said Alicia. “Sometimes, they would take all of my clothes and hang me out of the second floor window of the clubhouse and threaten to drop me and say ‘who is going to miss your n----r ass if we drop you?' and my life was just flashing before me,” Alicia said.

Fr. Fitzmaurice also forced her to perform sexual acts on and with him and said if she complied, he would not bother her younger brothers and sisters; however, that proved to be a lie. Thirty years later, Alicia found out that her siblings were abused by Fr. Fitzmaurice. Her sister, who was impregnated when she was 13, had a baby that “came out White as paper,” Alicia said.

It doesn't end there

Alicia Sample said Fr. Fitzmaurice would force her and her brother Terrence to commit incest. They would be forced to commit sexual acts on one another while he watched. He would also tell her to do things to her brother, and have her report back whether she did it.

“He (Fr. Fitzmaurice) would become sexually excited, and sometimes he would touch himself in front of me, but if he told me to do something, and I came back and told him I didn't do it, he would beat me. He would get angry and beat me, or he would tell me that I would have to go to the clubhouse and the other guys that would be there would abuse me sexually or beat me,” said Alicia.

For over three decades, she suffered in silence, filled with shame alongside the mental and emotional strain resulting from her abuse as a young teen. She heavily abused drugs and alcohol and suffered from eating disorders. She takes medicine for anxiety, schizophrenia and depression and by her own admission has “been in and out of mental hospitals.”

She also told The Final Call of a 1990 attempt to kill herself and her three sons by sealing the doors and the windows of her apartment and turning on the gas oven. Neighbors smelled fumes, quickly called the fire department and saved Alicia, and her sons from certain death, however, the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services removed the children from her custody.

Now 47, Alicia is still trying to put the pieces of her life back together after having her innocent childhood interrupted by a priest she calls a predatory pedophile.

Terrence Sample, her older brother, who now works as a successful paralegal described his mental and sexual abuse by Fr. Fitzmaurice as consisting of “everything under the sun.” He no longer trusts anyone.

“My dreams were corrupted by the church,” said Terrence. “I'm never going to be the same.”

Terry Overton graduated from St. Rita Catholic high school on the southwest side of Chicago. He was a victim of sexual abuse during his teen years at the hands of Father Thomas Swade, who was defrocked by the Archdiocese of Chicago in October 2009. Mr. Overton, now a successful attorney, described years of feeling intimidated, isolated and abandoned as he struggled with drug addiction to ease the pain of his abuse, which he called part of an “institutional pandemic.”

“It is a stripping of your dignity, confidence and humanity,” said Terry, “I was traumatized for decades,” he added.

Terry said priests in the Catholic church are “god-like figures” and that no one intervened on his behalf because his tormentor was “a White man supported by his White institution,” the Catholic church.
