Post Falls ICA scandal update

  • We received a letter yesterday, postmarked 9/14/16, and reprinted below  It was sent by an unidentified party, who seems to know a thing or two about the recently reported  Immaculate Conception Academy  sodomite scandal in Post Falls, ID. There is no return address on the envelope, no signature; no means visibly of identifying the sender.  I think I know who this person is, but since, apparently, he wishes to remain anonymous, I’ll let it go at that.

    The letter points to ICA’s former principal as the one chiefly to blame for the whole sordid affair.  I feel a bit uneasy about agreeing totally to that assessment. This individual must certainly share the blame, but there are others equally guilty.  The organization’s leadership must take ultimate responsibility, I think.  We'd hate to think that the powers that be had chosen to throw this layman under the bus, but that may be the case.

    The former principal’s name has been revealed already on CI in another earlier topic thread. Anyone really wanting to know that name should have no problem uncovering it.  However, perhaps to protect other members of the family, and because I don’t feel that this man’s name should be once again dredged up gratuitously and be scattered all over cyberspace. I’ll simply replace his real name with a pseudonym in the body of the letter below. He shall be referred to hereafter as ‘Ralph X.’

    Quote
    Ralph X has been principal at Immaculate Conception Academy for the past two years and will continue to be principal of the academy until August 31, 2016. During those two years, Immaculate Conception Academy has seen its worst implosion in its entire history. It has undergone a moral and disciplinary implosion that has completely destroyed the reputation of Immaculate Conception Academy throughout the traditional world. Will X decide now who the teachers will be, what they will teach, and the texts that the boys shall use at the Academy? Apparently so. Another question that must be raised when viewing this reappointment of Ralph X to an administrative position at ICA: During the whole sodomite scandal of the past year, stretching through most of the term of Fr. Vassal, what did Ralph X know and when did he know it? IF HE WAS AN ACCOMPLICE HE SHOULD NOT BE AT THE SCHOOL AT ALL, IF HE WAS TOTALLY OBLIVIOUS TO WHAT WAS GOING ON THEN HE IS TOTALLY INCOMPETENT AND SHOULD NOT BE IN ANY
    ADMINISTRATIVE POSITION AT ALL. To make all of this worse, the new principal of Immaculate Conception Academy, Fr. Loop, is Ralph X’s best friend from their days spent at the University of Dallas together. Whose thoughts will dominate the Academy? I wonder.

  • I may have committed an act of illogic by implying that Ralph X may have been thrown under the bus by sspx authorities.  Of course, that can not be.  If that were the case, why, then, would they have appointed Ralph X as the new Academic Dean of ICA?  fNo, it appears that Ralph is still very much in favor with ICA and sspx.

    If anything, it is the anonymous writer of this letter who may be trying to throw Ralph X under the bus.  I hope that is not the case.  But it is he who points to this man as the chief guilty party.

  •   It was the duty of the priests to protect the spiritual welfare of the children while at the school.

      The record shows that school incurred the infiltration of at least one pedophile, later caught by the police and jailed.

    No matter how you shake it, the priests had the higher moral obligation and failed in their Duty of State.  They should publicly apologize and make amends to the all Catholics in the area.


    "Some preachers will keep silence about the truth, and others will trample it underfoot and deny it. Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it, for in those days Our Lord Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor but a destroyer."  St. Francis of Assisi
