Holy Shite - Monsignor Lynn Trial - Philly

Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua promoted McCarthy the next year to lead a parish in Norristown. Before long, a travel agent whose husband had donated $25,000 to the archdiocese complained about McCarthy running a travel business that had robbed her of parish bookings.

And priests were complaining about McCarthy’s temperament, and about sexually-charged speech, underwear catalogs that came in the mail and gay pornography found in his bedroom. While McCarthy was away, a raid of sorts turned up pornography and a homoerotic poster on his wall.

McCarthy was sent for a psychiatric evaluation, and deemed a “homosexual ephebophile,” someone attracted to adolescent boys. He was put on a “health leave,” where he remained until he was defrocked in 2006. He spent some of that time working the graveyard shift as a cashier at an Atlantic City casino, according to one letter he sent Bevilacqua.

Bishop Bransfield of W.Va. Joins Bishop Finn of K.C. in Exclusive American Bishops Abuse Club

Monsignor Quirk, a sought after material witness in the Philly Monsignor Lynn Child Abuse Trial, works for Bishop Brainsfield.

  

What a strange coincidence? 

A West Virginia Judge has refused to honor a Pennsylvania subpoena for Quirk hiding out in Bransfield’s West Virgina Bishopric bailiwick.

Another strange coincidence.  How do you spell conspiracy? (crossing a state line)

The witness in the Philadelphia trial told the jury he saw Bransfield bring several boys to a Scranton, Pa., farm owned by former diocese priest Stanley Gana more than 30 years ago.

The man said Gana told him Bransfield was having sex with one of the boys.

The witness told the jury Gana raped him for years and that Gana and Bransfield were close friends. He said Gana once sexually abused him during a visit to Bransfield's New Jersey beach house.

Another witness testified that Bransfield had a lewd conversation with him.

Details of the testimony were circulated in various media reports Wednesday.
