Recordings of Priest Grooming Teenage Boy for Sex Published, Show Homosexuality’s Role in Abuse Crisis

Recordings of a priest convicted of multiple counts of sexual assault on males have been released, providing incontrovertible evidence of homosexuality as a factor in clerical sexual misconduct.

Through a Freedom of Information Act request, the Catholic media group Church Militant obtained and published secret recordings of the Diocese of Saginaw’s Father Robert DeLand Jr., 72, attempting to seduce a high school student. . .

According to Church Militant, the popular priest was working as a hall monitor at Michigan’s Freeland High School when he first singled out the young man, who had gotten into trouble with the law for underage drinking and was grieving the recent suicide of a friend. . .

“It started with DeLand offering to pay for [the victim’s] grief counseling sessions and then suggesting that he complete his community service hours at his condo, where the priest could get him alone,” explained Church Militant CEO Michael Voris in a special report yesterday.

“His parents, alarmed by the priest’s latching on to their son, went to the police, who launched a secret investigation, wiring the victim so he could record his interactions with DeLand.” (Read more from “Recordings of Priest Grooming Teenage Boy for Sex Published, Show Homosexuality’s Role in Abuse Crisis” HERE)
