Dancing Eggs, thank you for coming here and shedding more light on the background. It helped me to understand the situation better and the "why" of it.

Where was the children's mother while these beatings and denial of medical care was taking place?
Dancing Eggs you are quick to criticize the SSPX clergy. Did your mother call CPS and local law enforcement after watching the father beat his child with a horse whip? Did she try to seek custody of the children?

Tiffany I agree with you. There seems to be a huge effort to blame the priests but I don't understand what exactly is expected of them. What they hear in the confessional they can do nothing about. As for what they hear outside of the confessional, do people expect them to meddle in everyone's families and business? Because honestly that's what personally investigating or calling the police on every rumor they heard would amount to and if they did that, people would be complaining!! Those wanting to blame the clergy should take a moment to really think about that. What do they want parish life to look like in reality, in practice. Other than counseling those who ask for it, the priests aren't exactly public enforcers and they aren't meant to be.

The blame goes where it ought to go, the father and the mother. Perhaps there were friends and neighbors who saw and did nothing.

Of course this is all assuming Dancing Eggs' version is completely and objectively accurate.

I have even heard in person Father Crane, the priest in this case, give a sermon and FROM THE PULPIT shame a child for reporting physical abuse against his parents claiming the child was interested in entering foster care for the benefit of free college.

Good heavens, this frightens me so much!

We just received a LECTURE from Fr. Crane here in PHX this morning on how it is AGAINST Canon Law to not send your kids to Catholic school. He even mentioned that priests once refused the Sacraments to parents who did not send their children to the school.

I think the parents in Phoenix need to get together and demand an answer from Fr. Crane regarding his CULPABILITY in the debacle with Sloniker and the boys at ICC in Post Falls!

If, as the detective said, and the news reported, that a boy told Fr. Crane he did not want to go to camp because Sloniker had STRIPPED HIM NAKED AND HORSEWHIPPED HIM and Fr. Crane did not go to the police then Crane has a LOT to answer for!
