The latest disclosures about pedophile Cardinal Theodore McCarrick raise very relevant questions about the Roman Catholic Bishop of Brooklyn and Queens Nicholas Di Marzio --- after all, in almost every way, McCarrick made Di Marzio [what he is today].....
Long ago, Brooklyn's Bishop DiMarzio promised a fuller explanation related to the initial sex charges pending against him from his days back in McCarrick's New Jersey stomping grounds --- so far, NOTHING additional has come forth from the Bishop of the Diocese of Brooklyn [[[ SInce that time, in June 2020, another young man has made a separate complaint against Bishop DiMarzio, alleging sexual abuse while DiMarzio was a priest in the Diocese of Newark, New Jersey ]]]
Now, some specific questions need to be asked of Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio --- like this >>>
Bishop DiMarzio did you ever spend any time at Cardinal McCarrick's beach house in Sea Girt ?
Did you ever see any under-aged boys at Cardinal McCarrick's beach house in Sea Girt at any time ???
Did you ever hear anything about anyone having sex with under-aged boys at Cardinal McCarrick's beach house in Sea Girt ?????
[[[ I'm sure Attorney Mitchell Garebedian, the man representing both of Di Marzio's victims, will be asking some very similar questions about DIMArzio's possible connection to the Sea Girt house on the record in the two cases against DiMarzio (and whatever cases might follow) ]]]
According to key portions of a very timely NY Daily News account, ".... Former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick allegedly ran a depraved sex ring of underage boys at a beach house on the Jersey Shore... " The specific allegation "... claims that in 1982 and 1983 [young boys as young as 14 years old] were taken on weekend overnight trips to a Sea Girt beach house.... [where] McCarrick assigned sleeping arrangements, choosing his victims from the boys, seminarians and clerics present at the beach house....” (See "Ousted Cardinal McCarrick ran sex ring at N.J. beach house: suit" by Stephen Rex Brown, 7/22/2020, NY Daily News/ New York [???] [https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-cardinal-mccarrick-beach-house-sex-ring-suit-20200722-5n6kcz4aczbt5b2yrjuwpfkmyi-story.html]).
The article by Stephen Rex Brown went on to add that "The new suit is not the first to reference the beach house.... In an interview with ["Slate"] last year, McCarrick said he believed his accusers had been manipulated by his 'enemies' to come up with similar stories involving abuse on the Shore.... 'I’m not as bad as they paint me. I do not believe that I did the things that they accused me of,' he said...."
You take a vow of poverty and get a beach house in Sea Girt.
ReplyDeleteIf the Cardinal refused the vow of poverty would the beach house have been in the Hamptons?

NO ! NO !!! WE CAREERIST CLERGYMEN DON'T NEED NO VOW OF STINKIN' POVERTY !!!!!
I believe that Theodore McCarrick was a "secular" priest for his entire "career" in the Church. In addition to being a "Pedo," Cardinal McCarrick was a poster boy for "careerists" in the Roman Catholic Hierarchy --- poverty just ain't in their playbook.
That's two despicable things that he has in common with Nicholas DiMarzio; and, God help us, there probably are more.
McCarrick was involved with the Jennifer Levin murder case against Robert Chamberas.

ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 8:40 PM"
THERE IS A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE "PREPPY MURDER" JENNIFER LEVIN-ROBERT CHAMBERS CASE AND THE RECENT DISCLOSURES ABOUT CARDINAL MC CARRICK --- IT COMES DOWN TO PAYING NECESSARY EXPENSES FOR CERTAIN YOUNG MEN, LIKE SOME OF THOSE WHO WENT TO MC CARRICK'S BEACH HOUSE AND YEARS BEFORE THAT >>> ROBERT CHAMBERS, AKA THE "PREPPY MURDERER"
One of the most interesting things that Robert Chambers said during the pendency of the murder case against him was that a male could be raped --- he was then silenced by his defense counsel, which was being paid for by the Catholic Arch-Diocese of New York..... His high school tuition was also paid by the Church, just like some of the under-aged guests at McCarrick's beach house.
We all know John Q is but a few minor chromosomes removed from a large baboon and yet this man is at the helm of yet another Scandal at the Diocese! Shouldn't the Diocese hire a real Public Relations professional to navigate this latest opprobrium?
ReplyDeleteAN IMPORTANT OBSERVATION: THE "DI MARZIO HASN'T REALLY DEFENDED HIMSELF AGAINST THE REPEATED CHARGES OF SEXUAL ABUSE" EDITION
ReplyDeleteWHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO PROTECT THE ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOP OF BROOKLYN NICHOLAS DI MARZIO IS TO CIRCLE THE WAGONS AND TRY TO TOUGH IT OUT
OTHER THAN FORMER WISEGUY POSEUR BISHOP NICKY MARS' BROAD FORMAL DENIALS AND SELF-SERVING STATEMENTS ABOUT ALL THE GOOD HE HAS DONE FOR THE VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ABUSE IN AND BY THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH WHEREVER HE HAS SERVED DURING HIS ENTIRE CAREER AS A PRIEST, MONSIGNOR AND BISHOP, THIS GUY DI MARZIO HAS SAID NOTHING RELEVANT OR SUBSTANTIAL ABOUT THE FACTS OF THE CHARGES BROUGHT AGAINST HIM OR ANY OF THE FACTUAL CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THOSE CHARGES
HOWEVER, DI MARZIO'S LAWYER, NEW JERSEY FIXER ATTORNEY JOSEPH HAYDEN, DID SAY THIS --- "... WE HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATING THESE CLAIMS ANS WE HAVE UNCOVERED CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF BISHOP DI MARSIO'S INNOCENCE...." WOW !!! JUST THINK ABOUT THAT..... "CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE ABOUT DI MARZIO'S INNOCENCE" !!!!! NOW >>> THAT <<< REALLY SOUNDS IMPRESSIVE.....
I WONDER WHAT IT MIGHT BE --- "CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE" ???
HMMMMMM ! I WONDER WHY BISHOP "NICKY MARS" HASN'T TOLD THE CATHOLICS OF BROOKLYN AND QUEENS WHAT THAT "CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE" MIGHT BE THAT WOULD PROVE HIS "INNOCENCE" AND LIFT THE TERRIBLE BURDEN THAT THESE VERY SCANDALOUS CHARGES AGAINST THEIR BISHOP HAS PLACED ON >>> THEIR <<< SHOULDERS AND IN THEIR SOULS AND CONSCIENCES
It's been more than seven months since Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio promised a fuller explanation related to the first charges of sexual abuse of a young person brought against him in 2019. So far SILENCE from DiMarzio on that score..... Since then, additional charges have been made against the Roman Catholic Bishop of Brooklyn by another victim claiming that Nicholas DiMarzio sexually abused him. In response, still nothing of substance from DiMarzio about any of it.....
Instead, he keeps making broad and sweeping denials and keeps telling anybody that will listen how good he has been for the victims of sexual abuse over a long period of time. Significantly, DiMarzio has personally lawyered-up big time; and the Roman Catholic hierarchy directly involved in the DiMarzio scandal have lawyered-up big time as well.
This is how DiMarzio's lawyer's statement is covered in the official diocesan newspaper of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn, "The Tablet.": “.... 'Both allegations against my client are more than 40 years old, and the accusers are each seeking 20-million dollars from the Newark Archdiocese,' said attorney Joseph Hayden who is representing Bishop DiMarzio.... 'We have been investigating these claims and we have uncovered conclusive evidence of Bishop DiMarzio’s innocence. We look forward to challenging these allegations in court or in any other proceeding,' he said...." (See "Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio Strongly Denies Second Sexual Abuse Claim from 1970s, Contemplates Filing Defamation Lawsuit" by Christopher White, 6/4/2020, The Tablet/ Diocesan News [https://thetablet.org/bishop-nicholas-dimarzio-strongly-denies-second-sexual-abuse-claim-from-1970s-contemplates-filing-defamation-lawsuit/]).
What's very interesting is that DiMArzio's lawyer Hayden had this "conclusive evidence of Bishop DiMarzio's innocence" within only a day after the second charges were brought against the bishop. SIMPLY AMAZING !!!!!

ReplyDeleteWHEN BISHOP DI MARZIO SPOKE ABOUT THE CHARGES AGAINST HIM WITH THE POPE IN NOVEMBER 2019, DEMARZIO SAID: A) THE POPE ALREADY KNEW ABOUT THE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST DI MARZIO; AND B) DEMARZIO CLAIMED TO HAVE NO IDEA WHO THE PERSON MAKING THE CHARGES WAS OR HAVE ANY RECOLLECTION OF THE PERSON WHATSOEVER.

RESPONSE: THE "THIS IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF CASE THAT BISHOP DI MARZIO SAID WAS NO LONGER HAPPENING" EDITION
TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 4:49 PM"
A CASE LIKE THE ONE AN ACTING U.S. ATTORNEY HAS BROUGHT AGAINST A QUEENS PRIEST NAMED FRANCIS HUGHES, THE PASTOR OF ST. PANCRAS CHURCH IN GLENDALE, WAS NO LONGER SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN IN BISHOP DI MARZIO'S DIOCESE --- AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT BISHOP DI MARZIO HAS REPEATEDLY TOLD US
According to multiple reports in newspapers, on-line and on TV, a priest in Queens was arrested today by the FBI, and accused of sending sexually explicit photographs to a teenage young male. Father Francis Hughes is pastor at St. Pancras Parish in Glendale; he is also charged with receiving images of child pornography via text from the 15-year-old, who lives in Westchester.
Acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss said, “The allegations against Francis Hughes are chilling and frightening to any parent. A person who, by the nature of his profession, is presumed to be trustworthy allegedly victimized a child. Thanks to the FBI, Hughes now faces a serious federal charge....”
An important part of the criminal complaint against Father Hughes indicated that he admitted to FBI agents that he knew the teen was underage and that he did send the pictures and messages to the teen.
