Vatican Places a Sex Abuser in a Home Near Elementary School

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Kansas elementary school says it had no idea that a former Catholic cardinal alleged to have abused several young men over the course of several decades was placed in a rectory just next door, KansasCity.com reports.

Theodore McCarrick resigned as a cardinal back in July after a review board discovered credible claims of sexual abuse dating back nearly 50 years. McCarrick is alleged to have abused at least one minor and three adults, all seminarians or young priests, under McCarricks tutelage. His youngest victim was reportedly 11 years old.

The Vatican announced Friday that McCarrick had been “relocated” to Victoria, Kansas, where he is expected to live out the rest of his days in prayer and penance, unless Catholic Church officials deem it necessary that McCarrick face further sanctions. . .

Victoria Elementary only found out that McCarrick was living nearby at the St. Fidelis friary when parents mentioned the issue on social media, despite the fact that McCarrick is credibly accused of assaulting a minor.

Bishop Gerald L. Vincke of the Diocese of Salina, who reportedly worked with the Vatican to secure McCarrick’s living arrangements, says McCarrick is not allowed to leave the friary or make public appearances. (Read more from “Vatican Places a Sex Abuser in a Home Near Elementary School” HERE)

Professor: White GOP Senators ‘Deserve Miserable Deaths’ – Here’s Why

/0 Comments/in , /by

Georgetown University Distinguished Associate Professor Christine Fair tweeted that white Republican senators in the Brett Kavanaugh hearing deserve to die.

“Look at thus [sic] chorus of entitled white men justifying a serial rapist’s arrogated entitlement,” Fair tweeted on Thursday. Referencing a video of “Lindsey Graham’s tirade,” Fair, who is a victim of sexual assault, added, “all of them deserve miserable deaths while feminists laugh as they take their last gasps.” . . .

“Professor Fair’s extremely offensive and violent remark goes against everything in line with Georgetown’s values,” TJ Collins, a recent Georgetown graduate told Campus Reform. “President DeGioia should immediately issue a statement condemning the tweet, and Professor Fair should not be permitted in the classroom ever again,” Collins added.

“As a student applying to this school, I wouldn’t have dared use that kind of language on a social media platform, especially surrounding a sensitive and controversial issue. Georgetown wouldn’t have admitted me if they had seen stuff like that,” a current Georgetown student who wished to remain anonymous, told Campus Reform. . .

In addition to her colorful Twitter timeline, Fair also runs a blog called ShitMenSay. “This is where I post snarcastic missives based upon the shit men (and sometimes woman-hating women) say to me via email, voicemail and comments ‘deposited’ on my various social media like celestial droppings of stupidity,” Fair writes in the blog description.

Pastor of Chicago’s First ‘Gay’ Catholic Parish Was Found Dead Attached to ‘Sex Machine’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The last pastor of Chicago’s first officially “gay parish,” Fr. Daniel Montalbano was found dead in his rectory bedroom hooked up to a “sex machine” in 1997, according to the pastor of Montalbano’s second parish in a recent video interview.

According to Fr. Paul Kalchik, the recently-removed pastor of Montalbano’s second parish, Resurrection, Montalbano’s room in Resurrection’s rectory had body-sized mirrors lining one of the walls, and two closets full of homosexual porn materials, which had to be carted out along with the sex machine and destroyed following the discovery of Montalbano’s body.

Fr. Montalbano had been the pastor of the “gay friendly” St. Sebastian parish until 1990, after a fire destroyed part of the interior the year before, leading to a permanent closing of the parish. The priest was then transferred to Resurrection parish. Two different homosexualist groups, Dignity Chicago and the Archdiocesan Gay and Lesbian Outreach of Chicago (AGLO), had used St. Sebastian parish for their meetings and activities with the blessing of Cardinal Joseph Bernardin.

Montalbano was himself a “practicing” homosexual, according to Fr. Kalchik, and had hung a flag with the rainbow “gay pride” colors and a cross superimposed on it in the sanctuary during the Mass after he had first moved to Resurrection in 1991. The flag appears to have been taken from St. Sebastian parish, where it had been used by the LGBT groups there.

Fr. Kalchik made the remarks in an interview with Michael Voris of Church Militant published on September 26, following the priest’s expulsion from Resurrection parish in apparent retaliation for burning the LGBT flag, an act which Cupich had ordered Kalchik to cancel.

The War on Kavanaugh Is All About the Pro-Abortion Left’s Lust for Power

/1 Comment/in , /by

By Life Site News. We may never be able to prove whether Christine Blasey Ford is sincerely misremembering a traumatic event or deliberately slandering a political enemy, but two things are clear: Brett Kavanaugh almost certainly never touched her, and liberals simply don’t care.

They don’t care about the complete lack of evidence that the house party even happened, let alone that Kavanaugh tried to rape her at one. They don’t care about the holes and inconsistencies in Ford’s various retellings. They don’t care that decades’ worth of friends, fellow lawyers and judges, law clerks, and FBI background investigators never found the slightest hint that Kavanaugh was a secret sex predator. . .

As LifeSiteNews covered earlier this week, Democrat Sen. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii said outright she was “put[ting] his denial in the context of everything that I know about him in terms of how he approaches his cases,” particularly the fact that “he very much is against women’s reproductive choice.”

There it is: if the Left thinks you pose a threat to Roe v. Wade, basic standards of evidence, fairness, and due process (which isn’t legally binding on appointment confirmations, but was widely accepted as a moral guide until five minutes ago) get thrown out the window. You must be destroyed by any means necessary, with truth, reputational harm, and family anguish be damned.

The abortion lobby was already intensely mobilized against Kavanaugh; now Planned Parenthood is fundraising not merely on the assault narrative but on an even flimsier story from another accuser with a preposterous tale of gang-rape parties that she supposedly kept going to without telling anyone. The Soros-funded Women’s March is pushing #WeBelieveChristine hashtags. (Read more from “The War on Kavanaugh Is All About the Pro-Abortion Left’s Lust for Power” HERE)

Hillary Clinton Repeats Anti-Kavanaugh Talking Point Debunked by Fact Checkers

By Fox News. Hillary Clinton on Wednesday repeated a Democratic talking point about Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s use of the phrase “abortion-inducing drugs” — a claim that has been repeatedly debunked by fact-checkers.

“I want to be sure we’re all clear about something that Brett Kavanaugh said in his confirmation hearings last week,” she tweeted. “He referred to birth-control pills as “abortion-inducing drugs.” That set off a lot of alarm bells for me, and it should for you, too.”

. . .

“Did Brett Kavanaugh call birth control abortion-inducing drugs? No” read the headline of Politifact’s fact check — which rated the statement “False.”

“In Harris’ tweet, Kavanaugh appears to define contraception as abortion-inducing. But the video failed to include a crucial qualifier: ‘They said.’ In fact, he was citing the definition of the religious group Priests for Life. He has not expressed his personal view,” Politifact’s check said. (Read more from “Hillary Clinton Repeats Anti-Kavanaugh Talking Point Debunked by Fact Checkers” HERE)

Cory Booker’s 1992 Column Detailing ‘Groping’ of High School Friend Resurfaces

/0 Comments/in , /by

A 1992 column by now-Sen. Cory Booker detailing his “groping” of a high school friend has resurfaced as he pushes to delay Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings over a sexual assault allegation.

In the 1992 column for The Stanford Daily, then-Stanford University grad student Mr. Booker wrote about the New Year’s Eve incident in 1984 that he will “never forget.” In the column, titled, “So much for stealing second,” Mr. Booker said he was 15 when he fondled an intoxicated female friend.

“With the ‘Top Gun’ slogan ringing in my head, I slowly reached for her breast,” he wrote. “After having my hand pushed away once, I reached my ‘mark.’ Our groping ended soon and while no ‘relationship’ ensued, a friendship did. You see, the next week in school she told me that she was drunk that night and didn’t really know what she was doing.”

Mr. Booker said he was conditioned to believe that sex was “a game,” and that hooking up was best achieved through “luck, guile, strategy or coercion,” and lots of alcohol. He wrote about how his attitude toward sex dramatically changed after just a couple years at Stanford, and how his work as a peer counselor listening to the “raw truth from men and women discussing rape” was a real “wake-up call” for the future senator. . .

Mr. Booker, who said this week that it would be “irresponsible” for him to not consider a 2020 presidential run, has been recently ridiculed by conservatives after he appeared to dub himself “Spartacus” by revealing confidential records during the Judge Kavanaugh hearing. The senator now wants the FBI to investigate a claim by a woman who accused Judge Kavanaugh of trying to rape her more than 35 years ago before the hearings continue.

Passenger Sues Airline, Claims Crew Didn’t Detain Passenger Who Sexually Assaulted Her on Flight

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Fox News. A 23-year-old woman from California has filed a lawsuit against Delta Air Lines, claiming that they failed to detain a passenger who sexually assaulted her on a flight earlier this year.

Delany Luh, the founder of the fashion brand I Am Plenty, alleges she was assaulted by an inebriated male passenger on a June 16 flight from Chicago to Los Angeles. In a lawsuit filed by Knoxville-based attorney James Friauf, Luh claims the man was served between six and eight alcoholic beverages within the span of only a few hours, the Knoxville News Sentinel reports.

Per the lawsuit, Luh claims the assailant became more “bizarre and harassing” throughout the flight, trying to engage her in conversation about his marriage. At one point, she says he pretended to make a phone call to a fake woman named “Molly” to discuss how Luh wasn’t “being nice” to him, and then made derogatory comments about Luh to the fictional friend for Luh to hear, according to the complaint. . .

Luh says she tried to avoid the man until she eventually fell asleep, only to be “startled awake by an abrupt discomfort in her vaginal area,” and witnessing the man’s hand in her pants “digitally penetrating her vagina.” . . .

Luh was reseated, and believed the airline would contact the authorities regarding her complaint, the News Sentinel reports. Instead, she contends that the airline “allowed Assailant to exit the aircraft without incident or consequence for his abhorrent actions,” per the complaint.

Woman Accuses Delta Air Lines of Serving Drunk Passenger Booze, Ignoring Sexual Assault

By Knox News. A 23-year-old fashion designer is suing Delta Air Lines after she says flight attendants continued to ply a drunken passenger with booze and – after he groped her – offered her a $200 voucher for her troubles.

Knoxville attorney James Friauf has filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court on behalf of Delany Luh, the founder of the street wear and fitness fashion label I Am Plenty Apparel, against Delta over the June 16 incident. . .

“During the conversation, (Luh) observed (the man’s) eyes were watery and bloodshot,” Friauf wrote. “The smell of alcohol was noticeably strong on his breath. As assailant spoke, he leaned in close to (Luh), making her feel uncomfortable.

“Despite Assailant’s obviously-inebriated state, Delta employees continuously served Assailant alcohol during the flight,” the lawsuit continued. “Upon information and belief, Delta served Assailant as many as six to eight alcoholic beverages in the course of less than two hours.” (Read more from “Woman Accuses Delta Air Lines of Serving Drunk Passenger Booze, Ignoring Sexual Assault” HERE)

Actor Kevin Spacey Facing New Lawsuit

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Fox News. In a new Los Angeles lawsuit, the John Doe plaintiff — who has worked as a massage therapist for 35 years — says he was attacked by the Oscar-winning actor two years ago, at a private residence in Malibu.

After setting up his massage table, the masseur had asked Spacey “whether he needed to be aware of any problem areas for the massage,” according to the lawsuit, which was reported by Deadline.com.

Spacey insisted on lying on the table face-up, then twice grabbed the masseur’s hand, directing it to his private parts, the lawsuit said.

“What are you doing!” the lawsuit quotes the shocked masseur as demanding. “This is ridiculous. I am a professional. This is what I do for a living. I have a son.” . . .

“This is over,” the masseur says in the lawsuit he repeated. The masseur then “hurriedly grabbed his massage table, leaving behind other materials like the sheets and oil, and fled the residence,” the lawsuit said. (Read more from “Actor Kevin Spacey Facing New Lawsuit” HERE)

Kevin Spacey Hit With Sexual Battery Suit by Masseur Over “Extreme” 2016 Incident

By Deadline. ittle more than a month since Kevin Spacey saw claims of another sexual assault case handed over the Los Angeles County District Attorney, the former House of Cards actor has been sued for sexually battery and false imprisonment.

“Spacey assaulted and battered plaintiff by forcing plaintiff to touch his scrotum, testicles, and penis, grabbing plaintiff’s shoulders and pulling him in for an apparent attempted forced kiss, and grabbing plaintiff’s genitalia,” alleges a pretty graphic multi-claim complaint filed this week in LA Superior Court by a John Doe masseuse over an October 2016 encounter. . .

“During these assaults, plaintiff repeatedly asked Spacey to allow him to leave, but Spacey blocked access to Spacey’s massage table and the door with his naked body,” the 11-page jury seeking paperwork also said of the incident that supposedly occurred out in a house in Malibu two years ago.

Chinese Soup Ingredients May Hold Key to Fighting Dementia

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Chinese scientists have borrowed three ingredients from the country’s traditional medicine practice — a 3,000-year-old approach that aims to regulate the flow of energy in the body — and used modern pharmaceutical technology to devise a formula to tackle dementia, which has no cure.

The resulting blend of ginkgo biloba, ginseng and saffron extracts, called Sailuotong or SLT, is due to enter a late-stage study in Melbourne this month, and a larger clinical trial to validate its impact is slated to begin in China later this year.

The herbal mix offers an untrodden avenue into a research field riddled with failures. Success for SLT could bring the first approved medicine to treat the vascular causes of dementia, a form of age-related deterioration that resembles Alzheimer’s disease. But its backers’ hopes extend beyond dementia: they seek to validate a new approach to pharmaceutical innovation combining the ancient wisdom of traditional medicines with the scientific rigor of modern drug development.

“If we’re successful in treating vascular dementia, it will be a good example of how other traditional Chinese medicines could potentially be developed,” said Zhang Huajian, the Beijing-based director of clinical research at China Shineway Pharmaceutical Group Ltd.

Dementia, afflicting about 50 million people worldwide, is a compelling target. Despite hundreds of clinical trials investigating potential treatments in recent decades, no new drug has been approved since 2003. The five medications sold for Alzheimer’s, the most common cause of dementia, provide only modest relief of symptoms. None can slow the disease’s progression. There are no specific drugs for vascular dementia, which SLT targets. (Read more from “Chinese Soup Ingredients May Hold Key to Fighting Dementia” HERE)

Flag-Burning Priest in Hiding to Avoid Being Committed, ‘Tarred and Feathered’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Catholic priest removed from an Avondale church last weekend after burning an LGBTQ-friendly flag said in an interview published Wednesday that he has gone into hiding to avoid being committed to a mental institution by Archdiocese of Chicago leaders.

In his first public comments since Cardinal Blase Cupich removed him as pastor of Resurrection Catholic Church — recorded at an “undisclosed location” — the Rev. Paul Kalchik told the conservative Catholic news website Church Militant that Cupich dispatched two of his top deputies last Friday to take him away from the church at 3043 N. Francisco.

“[They said] ‘Pack your bags now and we’ll make certain that you get to St. Luke’s safely and get locked up for a number of months,’ ” Kalchik said, referring to the Saint Luke Institute, a mental-health facility in Maryland for the clergy.

When Kalchik refused to leave, he says the two deputies — Cupich’s vicars for priests — threatened to call the police to have him “forcibly removed.”

“And I don’t know how that would have played out, because we already had all these volunteer policemen there to make certain I wouldn’t be tarred and feathered by the rabid homosexualists of the North Side of Chicago, you know, who are [sending me] death threats,” Kalchik said.

Professor Calls for Christian University President to Resign for Allowing LGBT Relationships

/1 Comment/in , /by

Azusa Pacific University, a Christian institution, has lifted its ban on LGBT relationships in its code of conduct. But the decision comes after years of previous resistance, and the school is now facing pushback over the change — particularly from one professor who says it’s now time for APU’s president to go. . .

Last week, APU’s student-run ZU Media announced that effective this fall semester, the school was dropping language from its code of conduct in order to allow “romanticized” same-sex relationships on campus.

ZU Media reported that the dialogue over the changes were prompted when student members of an underground LGBT group called Haven approached administrators about being recognized as a campus organization.

Haven was assisted in its efforts by the outside organization Brave Commons, which describes itself as “a bold and subversive Christian movement of intersectional queer glory: healing and working towards robust justice for all.”

According to Christianity Today, part of the code that was scrapped included “an eight-point statement on human sexuality that had declared: ‘homosexual acts’ (among others) are ‘expressly forbidden’ by Scripture; ‘heterosexuality is God’s design for sexually intimate relationships’; and ‘humans were created as gendered beings’ in order to be fruitful and multiply.” (Read more from “Professor Calls for Christian University President to Resign for Allowing LGBT Relationships” HERE)
