They were going to transfer him before there were abuse allegations. As soon as those came to light they suspended him and investigated. This isn’t the same thing as past scandals and the Worcester Diocese has done a remarkable job at keeping children safe for the last two and a half decades.

That said, if this guy did it I hope they shoot him out of a canon into space.

This isn't surprising, considering the Roman Catholic Church is probably the worlds largest pedophile ring that seems to operate outside of the justice system.

​

Look at the big moves by the RCC! What a punishment - transferring some kiddie diddler to a new parish! That will really show him and make him they mean business! This is ridiculous.

I don't know how anybody can take part in such an obvious corrupt organization. Still, parishoners attend Sunday mass. They kneel, stand, and sit. They are taught to feel extreme shame for being horrible sinners and then they are told that it's okay as long as you go into the penalty box, describe your misdeeds, and repeat some poems. They don't question the organization and instead they say that their priest or pastor or whoever is up on the stage is one of the good guys. They stick their heads in the sand, pat each other on the back, and go on with their merry lives completely ignoring that they are participating in a pedophile ring.

It’s not lol no priests live on campus it’s not even that like force religion on you you have to go to mass a few times a year with the entire school but that’s it lol. There’s even LGBTQ clubs. It honestly was a very progressive school. I graduated from there 2 years ago. Anybody saying that there is sexual abuse going on at saint johns obviously didn’t go there and has no idea how it’s run. As someone who was is an atheist I would defend saint johns. At no point would a student be in a situation where they could be assaulted by a religious figure or priest nor does the fact that it’s a religious school mean high school students would be any more likely than any other high school in Worcester.

It should yes but it all depends on what the buyer is willing to pay. Your responsibilities and risks as a owner of a private road should be explained to you by the people you hire to assist in buying a home; inspector, lawyer, and it may show on an appraisal under easements and adverse property features.

Two otherwise identical properties one on public access and the other private should value the former more as there are less risks.
