Pilar said:Richard, I do understand what you mean, and I hope he has become as wonderful as so many who know him think. It is just that people have the right to know, and beyond that, they have the duty to protect their children. That is my main point. We all have that pesky fallen human nature that rears its ugly head repeatedly during our lives and the devil knows where our weak points are. I don't think every priest must confess his sins and weaknesses to the Faithful either, but with something like this...

Yes Pilar,all of us have the right to protect our children,you are 100% correct,but again I do not see that sort of thing in Fr.Roberts,how many years has it been since he was accused?

Franciscan Solitary has been greatly helped by Fr. Roberts according to his post and I think that is where he should be used, older people are often overlooked, shoved aside as if they were already dead. They are in need of preparation for death. I heard a resistance priest, when he was Society, once comment in a disparaging way that he had been sent to a parish with only old people as if that was a complete waste of his time and talent. What a shame. The devil attacks old people too, sometimes very violently. I have seen it with the dying. A priest can do great work there.

We have a mixed bag here in Jacksonville,we have some older people but we have a lot of young people too. I hope that when I am old and dying Fr.Roberts will be at my side as he has been for the old ones who have already passed into eternity,and while I am at it would you all please pray for my sister Alice Williams ho passed into eternity on Friday,she lived in another state and did not have a traditional Priest there for her.

Richard, may she rest in peace. My family will remember her in our rosaries.

God bless you Pilar,and your family now and forever.

I feel compelled to say that I find this thread really distasteful.  We have enough problems in Tradition and the SSPX without scrapping the barrel for this type of sordid scandal.  I can't judge other peoples' intentions or read their minds but it appears to me that an effort is being made to associate the Resistance with this type of scandal.  Whether these stories are true or not is irrelevant.  It is the intention and spirit behind the bringing up of this topic that is the issue here.  The official Church is in tatters.  The SSPX and most of Tradition is fast following in the steps of Modernist Rome.  The Resistance, a tiny movement, is our only refuge.  God in his mercy is giving Traditional Catholics a second chance, because no doubt He is punishing our sins and laxity, my own most of all, by allowing the SSPX to fail.  If the Resistance is seen as an opportunity to indulge a taste for sensationalism, or complaining, or fault finding, just for the sake of it, we will be punished again.   Our Traditional Catholic Faith and the Resistance is not a game.  I'm not saying that serious problems shouldn't be dealt with.  But people who are genuinely interested in dealing with a problem will do so in a prudent and appropriate manner.  Posting this thread is just an excersise in sensationalism and gossip as far as I can judge.  We're Traditional Catholics, let's behave like ones.
