This thread should be deleted. It is evil to spread this gossip.

Tell that to the seminarians, schoolboys and male novices who've been abused by this priest. Also, Mons. Patrick Perez and Rod Pead (of Christian Order) are reliable witnesses to this travesty, as are the honest Catholic journalists Mrs. Randy Engel and Dr. Jeffrey Bond (who knows the case intimately). The Truth hurts sometimes, but it's the only way. Young souls cannot be put at risk!

Pepe, who are you and what are your associations?

Why in the world would this honest question prompt 2 thumbs down? That's illogical.

Thumbs down perhaps because on a forum that offers anonymity for those who need or desire it, it is an inappropriate question. No one has to identify themselves before offering information.

The information offered speaks for itself. Don't shoot the messenger. If this priest did indeed live with Fr. U and Fr. Ensey, and if the Vice-Rector of any seminary has said he has a love letter from Fr. Roberts to a young seminarian (or any man) then that is more than enough not to use associate with him or put him in a position where he can do harm.

He seems to have a very long trail of problems all related to an inordinate fondness for young men. I am aware of much of the circuмstance of Fr. U., his time at the seminary and his efforts to undermine the Society. Accusations have followed him everywhere he goes and somehow he finds protectors in the episcopate. It sounds like this priest is a similar case. I find this really alarming and I agree with Elizabeth.

Dear Green Scapular,

Everything in my post is in the public domain already - just look it up. It is also is court docuмents/affidavids. Therefore it is not "gossip" or "calumny".

I agree with you as applied to normal commentary, but the OP is new and is resurrecting very serious information. It's reasonable to ask - not identity per se - but something more to help the reader understand the OP's agenda; i.e., his affiliation with the issue, or reason for bringing this to attention at this time. Asking for this information doesn't negate the veracity of his post.
Simply, I'd like to know Pepe's stake in this. A former associate? a friend of someone involved? He doesn't have to answer, but it's fair to ask.

I do agree with the rest of your commentary.

In fairness, Green Scapular, it looks like Pepe did a cut and paste of letters, etc that are public domain, from those with good reputations. One cannot just dismiss this as gossip due to that fact alone. I think we all wish it was merely gossip and could be dismissed.

I agree with you 100% Pilar - this information needs to be made known, for the protection of souls and I congratulate Pepe for having the courage to post regardless of the attacks he's getting :smash-pc:

One more time, I have known Fr.Roberts for about 8 years,He has never done any thing like this while he has been at our chapel.If my understanding is correct once a man goes this way he usually doesn't stop .I don't know about the other priest but as far as Fr.Roberts is concerned he was in the wrong place at the wrong time,and unless you can come up with absolute proof positive you should just shut up.
