I mean...she probably saw how the Catholic church did a really good job at helping Nazis flee Germany for Argentina using church money and expertly forged travel documents.

Isn’t this what the Catholic Church always does? Find a pedophile or murderer, etc. and then transfer them to a new state or city?

I really don't think this is the props you seem to think it is.

St Peter Marian wasn't much better, OLA either.

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.

>As someone who was is an atheist
In my experience, a giant percentage of SJ grads end up atheists. It's kind of fascinating.

They posted on their (now-deleted?) Facebook page that they had sold the business to a friend. Maybe that didn't take or maybe they're doing a reno? Hoping it's not closed for good, regardless.

More skeletons than an Indian burial ground, but they are experts at PR so they have seriously staunch defenders.

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 OK when "they" do it because they are hurting someone who deserved it.

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.

Reply to comment by NativeMasshole in Paving Private Streets In Worcester May Get Easier Under New Law by albalfa
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.

If they don't have the part you need in stock they can order it from their supplier.

So does it reduce land value? Because otherwise you would be paying twice: once for the rights and once to be rid of them.

Yup. We are paying about $15,000 for 10 years for the road conversion/paving. It's ridiculous.

Can confirm, I am one! Catholicism makes it really easy. I also turned out bisexual too, and learned that they were denying gay couples to the prom just after I graduated in 2012!
