I sent/am sending the email text below to MANY people. If he is going to reveal himself like this, I really do not need to do anything. That said, I may very well, in time, obliterate the myriad (mysteriously good-willed?) mutilations of the truth he has told, but I may just let it be. God speed.
Email text starts here:
Although commentary on and insertion of the facts within the text of the following would be enlightening and highly entertaining, such shall be left until a later date (if at all). For the present, I will simply say that this was an email sent to eleven (11) other people. I am forwarding it on to around 300 or so. You are welcome to share it with as many as you see fit, for the glory of God and sgg.org/cult, of course. I hope to help the vigilant Father as he attempts to root out all ignoble, insane ruffians that threaten to expose his corru-, I mean, to harm his flock. God speed.

Subject: Re: prudence, judgment, duty...and mind games
Dear Eamon Shea/Justus
You are mentally ill.
It is clear from your anonymous Christmas Eve circular e-mail that you
are now having another one of your " breakdown episodes."
Your chronic depression leads to anger, your anger leads to a blowup
(in this case, your nasty e-mail), your blowup eventually passes but
leads to guilt over the anger, your guilt leads back to the chronic
depression.
Remember that this is at least the THIRD episode you have had here
at St. Gertrude’s.
The first episode was your anonymous and calumnious written
denunciation of a non-parishioner.
The second episode occurred in April 2007, when you made horrible
accusations in writing — similar to your latest — against Bishop
Dolan, Mark, his family, our teachers, our school children generally
(even denouncing their singing) and myself.
In the same letter, you then seriously proposed that I hire you to run
our school. This showed me that you had by then lost touch with
reality. That is why I had to dismiss you.
You eventually regretted your words, came to your senses and sent us
each a written apology. It was because you apologized that Bishop
Dolan and I allowed you to come back here; we really hoped you would
be able to keep yourself under control.
I am sorry that this is not the case.
Had you at least limited yourself to sending another nasty letter just
to Bishop Dolan and me, I could have written it off as another
episode, and just told you privately (again) that you really have to
get some help.
But by putting all your calumnies into e-mail (with vulgar language,
to boot) and circulating it to parishioners, you are engaged in trying
to do irreparable harm publicly to the reputations of a LOT of people,
and to upset as many parishioners as you can.
Sorry, but this latest episode is strike three. We cannot allow you to
act out publicly here at St. Gertrude’s.
Bishop Dolan and I therefore forbid you to enter onto the church’s
West Chester property.
Immediately after sending this e-mail, I will drive down to the West
Chester police station, apprise them of the threats you have made,
tell them we have forbidden you to come onto the church property, and
make arrangements with the police to insure that this prohibition is
enforced.
You need to go away somewhere by yourself to be alone and to work out
your personal problems.
I hear that you are back at home in Florida at the moment.
Stay there, Eamon, stay away from here — and please get some help.
Regretfully,
-- Fr. Cekada
-------------------------
PS to parishioners:
I deeply regret that you were subjected to Eamon’s e-mail,
especially on Christmas Eve.
As regards handling awful e-mails like his, I recommend that in the
future you do the following:
1. Once you realize the sender of an e-mail is engaging in gossip,
calumny or detraction, read no further. This is a good way to mortify
evil curiosity, and to frustrate the evil that a gossip hopes to cause.
2. Do not forward the e-mail or discuss it with others. This simply
magnifies the harm.
3. Delete the e-mail.
4. Do not attempt to correspond with the sender. Gossips thrive on
attention. Deprive them of it.
5. If it concerns something in the parish, let one of the priests know.
I also ask you a favor. If you happen to notice that Eamon has come
onto the church property, please help us by calling the West Chester
police and informing one of the priests at once.
The police number is:
777-2231 or 911
With prayers that you will have a more peaceful New Year,
-- Fr. Cekada

By coming down in so heavy-handed a manner, the desired effect, with respect to the shell-shocked flock who read the email (at least 11 of them), was, in the main, achieved. One friend did step in to say, publicly, that I am not mentally ill (and he has studied psychology at the graduate level). He and his poor wife (whose involvement is still less than clear to me at this point) were dragged into a meeting, the man was told to sign papers disowning what he had previously said and knew to be true, or NEITHER could come back to SGG (although police involvement was not mentioned).

This is a brief response I sent to several people, letting Father know the state of affairs at that time.
Dear Father Cekada,
Although your impressive, virtuoso usage of every communist smear tactic in the book has likely shocked and/or frightened many of those who read your attempted character assassination (annihilation?) of me, I thought you might like to know that I have already been told by some that they not only do not believe your claim/s, they think your actions were completely over the top (and this is not getting into the number of those who agree with my assessment of your school and staff, mind games, etc.).
I have sent this email to six people, BCC (you will have to take my word, as an honest, although mentally ill, man). Three people flatly deny your claim about my mental state, and one expressed uncertainty (which is not surprising, as he is a kind and obedient soul who wants to believe his priest, and we have spoken for a total of 30 seconds or so during our lives) - while a total of ZERO (0) have affirmed your assessment. Something tells me no one will - just a hunch, though. Further, one of the other two is, I know for a fact, certain that your claim is absurd. Now, you could take the list of people to whom you sent your email, do a little math, and ascertain the probability that certain individuals are on my BCC line. Then, you could call them into your office, give them 'the business' in person, and hope they will be sufficiently intimidated to follow your instructions. That failing or seeming inefficient, you could call them all in, and do the same. Finally, you could just go 'straight up cult', and tell everyone, from the pulpit or another way of your choosing, that all contact with me, whether on or off SGG property, personal or professional, indoors or out, in fair weather or foul, by phone or email, hook or crook, is most strictly verboten. "Heil...!" As it is such a popular and effective tool these days for intimidating the sheep, you could, if necessary, employ the Sacraments as weapons - pretending, of course, that you are only safe-guarding the other sheep. If you would like any more tips as to how to go about exerting maximum, cult-like control, you know how to reach me. God speed.
Eamon 'the looney loon' Shea
If you need to discuss these matters over the phone, my number is...

The good Father fails to mention that, after I was fired from my post as a teacher (which did not happen as he relates), I continued to assist at Mass at St. Gertrude the Great for more than four months. The reason I stopped? Well, I MOVED to another state. During this almost five month period, the man had set up rules for me regarding access to certain portions of their property on certain days during certain hours, but there was never a question of being allowed at Mass, in the church whenever open, etc.
When I returned to OH from WA, I resumed going to SGG, and I did not tell anyone I was coming back, planning on coming to SGG, etc. - I just DID SO. I was not "allowed" to do anything, as I had never been "forbidden".
The truth is a wonderful thing. Have a blessed Holy Week.

Gee, and I thought I had a knack for burning bridges like no other. (grin)
I think there is a curse on both sides of this controversy. I don't think the Devil needs any help in slinging more arrows. You thought is was a joke to call me a crack smoker. Right after that, the chairman of the board paid you a loving goodbye compliment.
When you finally manage to detoxify, how about answering that request about why a traditionalist will fail you when the chips are down. Ditch the venom and come back to your occasional brilliant analysis.
Peace

Do you know Gladius more than on this message board? Are you Fr. Cekada or something? I'm confused.
