Regina Cleri

I'm working on a disturbing lead about Cardinal O'Malley and the diocesan henchmen throwing six falsely accused priests, ages 71 to 88, out of Regina Cleri Nursing Home and cutting off their medical benefits. This much has been substantiated from several sources.

Reportedly, in one case, there was a struggle with the benefits and treatment plan of a critically ill cancer patient that threatened his reception of oxygen. It is not believed that the priest was actually deprived of oxygen during the struggle and eventually, the family was successful in keeping oxygen in his treatment plan.

Though staff has been contacted and verified some details, I'm trying to substantiate what is actually going on and I've heard enough to confirm that something sinister is taking place at Regina Cleri upon the orders which have to be approved by the Cardinal. Will post more details once I straighten out the substantive factual information. Several staff members and care givers are terribly upset.

Two patients have died before the Cardinal and his staff were able to move them due to the severity of their condition. Others are rumored to be headed to a lockdown facility where convicted sexually violent or pedophile priests are housed. The name "Wounded Brothers" mentioned as the possible facility.

As I've said, I'm in the process of substantiating and fine tuning the facts from several sources and I've written Terri Donilon of the diocese to respond to my questions.


Here's an obituary of one of the priests involved in the eviction :

BOLDUC, Rev. Paul J. Dec. 29, formerly of Milton and Malden beloved brother of Lois M. Rooney and her husband Donald of Hampton, NH, Arthur J. Bolduc and his wife Nancy of Acton, ME. Uncle of Paul Rooney of Natick, Peter Rooney of Rowley, Patrick Rooney of Salisbury, Debra Gallagher of Methuen, Joseph Bolduc of Stoneham, and David Bolduc of Limerick, Maine. Fr. Bolduc was ordained in 1960 and served in St. Patrick Parish, Roxbury for 5 yrs, Immaculate Conception in Malden, for twelve years, St. Elizabeths Church in Milton for 10 years and served as Chaplain at Milton Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Childrens Hospital, Dana Farber Hospital, Joslin Diabetes Clinic and Brigham and Woman's Hospital, while he resided in St. Thomas Parish in Jamaica Plain and later in St. Anne in Readville. Visiting hours Sunday 2-6 in the Chapman, Cole & Gleason Funeral Home, 5 Canton Ave, Milton. Funeral Mass in St. Elizabeth's Church, Milton on Monday at 11:00 o'clock. Interment Mt. Calvaire Cemetery, Somersworth, NH. Father Paul Bolduc served God since he was ordained in 1960. Fr. Bolduc's family has taken on the responsibility of informing the public of his innocence in the matter of one accusation against him in 2001. After two years of investigation by the Archdiocese Review Board he was declared innocent of all charges and was returned to his public ministry without restriction. The Decree was dated July 22, 2003 and was signed by the Most Reverend Richard G. Lennon, D.D. Apostolic Administrator of the Archdiocese of Boston. The one allegation that was made against him could not be substantiated. At the time, Father Bolduc was prevented from proclaiming his innocence to the public or his peers. Father Bolduc's reputation was shattered and his life was changed forever. He forged on, always mindful of his mission in life. Due to this ordeal his health suffered greatly and continued to decline as time went on. Father Bolduc's family wishes to thank all his friends for standing by him and for all the support they gave him in his time of need. He was a dedicated holy man who had a true calling to the priesthood and who gave of himself completely and unconditionally. His family would also like to thank the nurses and staff at Regina Cleary residence, Boston for the excellent care they gave him. Chapman, Cole & Gleason Milton 617 696 6612

It's true in every case that when the priest is judged innocent in his Canonical trial, the diocese prevents the priest from proclaiming their innocence. The lives and vocations of these priests are indeed shattered. As is their spirit.

The diocesan staff in charge of the accused since the outset of the scandal has recently been handed over to an individual named Mark Dunderdale. I sure hope these aren't his fresh ideas.


More later.

I've updated the situation here.

Bill Donohue on the Mad Rush to Defend Roman Polanski

Bill Donohue joins the chorus of Catholics fascinated by the rise of a forgive and forget 30 year old child rape charge crowd.

The Catholic League has long suspected that, in many quarters, the outrage over priestly sexual abuse has had more to do with the status of the accused than the crime itself. Now the evidence is indisputable: a child can be drugged, penetrated and sodomized—and the guilty can cut and run—and still maintain hero status. Provided he is a celebrity.

Actress Debra Winger showed up at the Zurich Film Festival “to honor Roman Polanski as a great artist, but under these sudden and arcane circumstances, we can only think of him today as a human being.” Either that or as a child rapist. She was not alone: the Zurich Film Festival jury proudly displayed red badges reading “Free Polanski.” It was also nice to know that Woody Allen, a man who speaks from experience, came to Polanski’s defense.

Whoopi Goldberg showed off her usual brilliance when she declared that Polanski’s crime “wasn’t rape-rape.” No, only priests are guilty of real rape. Noted photographer Otto Weisser agrees: “He made a little mistake 32 years ago.” That’s right—it’s only a big mistake when priests do it. Richard Cohen of the Washington Post also notes that it’s been “over 30 years” since Polanski molested the girl. Similarly, movie critic Tom O’Neil exclaims that it is “mind-boggling why they’re still pursuing this.” Yet there is no statute of limitations afforded priests—men long dead have been accused of crimes extending back to the 1920s

Harvey Weinstein is so noble: “We’re calling on every film-maker we can to help fix this terrible situation.” The terrible situation, of course, isn’t what Polanski got away with—it’s his pursuit by the authorities. “To put him on trial or keep him in jail does not serve society in general or his victim in particular,” says journalist Anne Applebaum. She, and others, would carry more weight if the “he” included priests.

No wonder so many Americans look upon the celebrity worshippers with utter disdain. Double that for Catholics.

.

Polanski won't be experiencing the Kangaroo Courts and System of Justice Catholic priests are treated to when any drunk and druggie suddenly "remembers" he was abused 30 years ago -- and Polanski entered a plea of guilty.

I'm sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the geniuses to make the determination that the people in Hollywood don't know the proper names of genitalia and rush Sister Weartheppants in with an anatomically correct doll on every Hollywood set.

Perhaps Jeffrey Anderson will line up women who'll tell their story to the Boston Globe about their terror in movie theaters and they all repeatedly chant "Debra Winger the pimp".

Any minute now, they could pull together a group named "Voice of the Moviegoers" whose motto will be "keep the pervs, change your sheets" and call for withholding admission fees.

This world cannot possibly get any more insane.

(Could it??)

****UPDATE: MORE CATHOLICS ARE KICKING UP DUST.

There are literally hundreds of Catholic priests who were yanked without any evidence whatsoever from their ministries and Hollywood is lobbying for the freedom and release of a fugitive from justice who plead guilty to raping and sodomizing a child after doping her up with drugs and liquor?

Please.
