"America sided with the pedophile priests, and soon after, the nation fell"
being written online at https://cityofangelslady.blogspot.com/2024/09/prologue.html
Cardinal Stritch stood over me in 1955 in Chicago and said I had to stop "babbling" about what Father Horne had done to me. So I kept quiet for 40 years. Now in my late 50s -- I babble.

Ryan DiMaria:
Pedophilia was and is such an acceptable part of seminary and priesthood culture that for guys like Baker and Llanos, they know it’s bad but it’s all done with a little bit of a giggle. (Nov. 3 post)

In Court Sept. 19
"Mr. H was a student at Don Bosco High School while several Salesians molested him. Our damages are for the several years of sexual abuse he endured there. The fact that there’s more than one perpetrator makes the case more egregious. It doesn't make it dismissible.”-- Tony DeMarco

Parishes' $$$?
Who’s been paying the premiums for sex abuse lawsuit insurance the last decade or so? (More than half of Catholic dioceses buy their insurance from Catholic Mutual, which operates a self-insurance fund for the Catholic Church in North America. per, Ask the Explainer.)
He was lying as soon as he got out the door.
Mahony to LA Daily News: "Up until even a week ago we had a list of John Doe 1 through 1,000 with no names or Fr. John or Br. Mike that kind of thing." That's a blatant lie. They had the list John Doe 1 through 1000 since the complaints were filed in 2003. The archdiocese just sat on them or obstructed investigation until a few weeks ago (July 16 post).

Cops cooperating with Church?
In May the City of Long Beach objected to the production of documents re Theodore Llanos and "I wonder whose palm was greased in the City of Long Beach to get that assertion from law enforcement?" (July 9 post)
Update:
The Hagenbach cases jury trial was rescheduled to July 16th as there were not 120 persons available for a jury pool July 9th and all parties agreed to the delay, according to an order signed by Fromholz’ July 2.

Judge Lichtman on Priests' Files
"With convicted pedophiles the public is on notice thanks to Megan’s Law. The other priests who are not convicted are not registered. So there’s all the more reason to find out information about them.” See June 25 post
It's not news in LA unless there are cameras:
The Times reporter had to leave. He's also covering the Phil Spector trial. And after all no one else is. . . (June 27, 2007)
"To shield these types of documents from legitimate inquiry is both illicit and inappropriate." -- Thomas Doyle, see June 21 post
May 30 in court:
Judge Fromholz folds his hands over his mouth and glares at Potts. "I guess it’s a question of whether I can be relied on by the court?"
BBC show as seen in Italy May 2007, click below to watch video
If hearing slip May 30th was was simple mistake:
Why was no attorney for the church in court to litigate questions 1 to 8? (See May 30 post).

George Neville Rucker pleads for immunity “so that these matters may proceed without undue delay” (to be posted by May 31, 3:00 PM PST)

Attemped depositions:
Lay people can't state opinions under oath, per Church Attorneys. See May 29 late PM post
One Mahony excuse:
That report was never filed. And it was filed with a different person (May 29 post)
Some More Mahony excuses:
That priest was in Orange County not LA and Father Who? We haven’t seen him in years. . .(See May 29 post)

Motion to Compel Francis Weber Deposition
“This document relates to the following:" (Lists 83 plaintiff cases).
From Weber's March 13 deposition:
DeMarco: Asking him if he understands the Doctrine of Mental Reservation is harrassment?
Church Attorney: It’s a religious doctrine. Judge Fromholz has already ruled that questions of that nature are inappropriate for deposition.
Church contradicts itself
Weber can't answer as he's hierarchy witness, and can only answer few questions as he's only archivist? Which is he?
Donald Steier still shows up everywhere
With hundreds of church attorneys why does Donald Steier still step in every time plaintiffs try to depose anyone? (See "Interesting Document" April 29 post)
Discovery Referee Hearing May 16
"Defendants have engaged in obstructionist tactics, making a host of spurious arguments in order to stonewall plaintiffs’ legitimate discovery efforts" (4.28.07 post)
Judge to Church:
“The Court has explained (this) in numerous prior orders” See April 18 post re motions to strike.
Rucker privacy over-ruled
Court order “for documents produced by LA County Sheriff’s Department re George Neville Rucker" filed 3.6.07.
Empty answers from church:
Who lived with the perp at the monastary?
MAHONY: Monsignors (next three lines blacked out) lived with Hagenbach at St. Joseph. See April 18 post re production of documents for discovery

How church fares in LA with poor
1/2-block from court is LA Archdiocese Homeless Outreach office. January 2006 homeless count for one night results:
San Fernando Valley - 11,275
San Gabriel Valley - 9,254
Metro Los Angeles - 20,023
West Los Angeles - 6,860
South Los Angeles - 16,787
East Los Angeles - 7,178
What outreach center provides?
They drive homeless to other agencies twice a day for a meal, and don't bring them back.....
Relevance to priest rapes?
The Church hid priests to protect assets amassed over the decades while thousands of people in LA became homeless. . .

"When he was 15, Plaintiff began a long-term relationship with an adult male airline pilot in Arizona in which he exchanged sexual favors for flying time in the pilot’s plane,” writes Brandy Cody in the motion.
Read more in March 31 post
MAHONY GOES BOTH WAYS
Go down halfway into 3.28 post to read more. Church: Plaintiffs don't have evidence; we won't turn over evidence; Church: Pedophile-pederast rapist priests are not part of the archdiocese and their files are secret because the priests are part of the archdiocese
MORE ON L.A. JUNIOR SEMINARY IN 3/28 POST
In one Hagenbach case alone these priests associated with Queen of Angels Junior Seminary are named:
G. Patrick Ziemann
Taught at Our Lady Queen of Angels Junior Seminary then went on to become Bishop of Santa Rosa. He had to resign that post after it came out that he blackmailed a younger priest into having sex with him.
Gerald Fessard
Was Associate Superintendent of Elementary Schools in the Los Angeles Archdiocese in 1981 after being run out of Santa Clara parish in Oxnard for sexually graphic talk with students. In February 1987 Fessard became Dean of Studies at Queen of Angels Junior Seminary and within months he was brought up on charges for molesting no less than 8 seminarians in their beds.
John Farris
A most prolific child molester / faculty member of Our Lady Queen of Angels Junior Seminary, Farris was also one of the most popular teachers. He specialized in combining “spiritual advisement” with sex molestation.
ACTION
AB261 in Calif Legislature by Nancy Lieber (Mountain View) will eliminate SOL for all sex abuse crimes, ending confusion that leads to mistrials and dropped charges.
RICO Alert
DOCUMENTS SHREDDED: After special training in the fall of 1994 at Catholic University, chancellors returned to archdioceses across the country and shredded documents in priest personnel files relating to criminal activity. What was destroyed and why and in how many cities? Who gave the chencellors these instructions?
