Buffalo Catholic Diocese whistleblower talks about why she came forward

[@charlypomos]

I salute you, it is needed a lot of courage and passion to get against that formidable adversary.

[@donrougeux2122]

A wonderful example of faith and willingness to sacrifice for the Truth.

This is not against the RC people but to the leadership of the church who are deceiving their flock: (1) we are saved by grace . A favor by God to us that we do not deserve . (2) so Novena and Rosary is salvation by works , man made tradition . (3) do not call priest or pope holy father . Matthew 23:9 . (4) do not pray vain repetition for our God is loving merciful and compassionate . Matthew6:7 . (5) do not make idols , pray to them and serve them . (6 ) remember Saturday Sabbath instead of Sunday , Exodus 20:8-11 , Matthew22:37-40 . (7)We are judge at the time of death . Revelation 22:12 as Jesus said He is rewarding us according to our works, when a person is dead his work on earth is finished so Rosary and novena is useless.So many Bible facts . If my relatives read this , I love you so much I am kind to you now than for you to suffer in hell . So In am saving you not cruelty.Revelation 18:4 please come out the church will not change . Save your own church because your church can not save your soul in fact they are damming your life to hell .God loves you and so do I .

If you listen to Miss O'Connor speaking about about ABUSE of Catholic teaching and ABUSE of the authority of a bishop and ABUSE of the office of priest, then you should listen to what she says about the Catholic Church: 'Thank you for not attacking our Church. What's happening is a tragedy, but it is not the true Church. The people of the Church do not abide by this, and we appreciate that you are not attacking us.' The ABUSE of a think is exactly that: an ABUSE. It's not a sign of what is 'normal.' If you have any conscience about sexual abuse or any other kind of abuse, you didn't learn that from the Roman Empire. What? What am I talking about - the Roman Empire? I'm talking about the Empire that was crushed by Catholicism, an empire that had no problem with what we - because of 2,000 years of Catholic teaching - would call 'abuse.' It took the Catholic Church to teach the world what 'abuse' actually means (indeed, what a 'person' is - the definition is Catholic). Read some history if you think that the Gospel as preached by the Catholic Church for 2,000 years is the equivalent of abuse on the scale of the Roman Empire. The abuse Miss O'Connor exposed would have been normal and not culpable behavior for any Roman with a modicum of power over anyone else. She only knows right from wrong because she's Catholic. All Catholic-haters and bigots who are eager to spew vileness and filth against the Church, you are attacking more than one BILLION people who are like Miss O'Connor: raised in the Catholic faith; BELIEVING all the teachings of the Catholic faith; LIVING the Catholic faith - even when it is going to have hard consequences. Our Bishops and Cardinals and priests wear black because they are supposed to be 'dead to the world' in the sense that NONE of the enticements of the world - sex, drugs, out-of-control pleasure like eating, getting drunk, etc. - should have any attraction for them. Their focus is on God alone, and they are to be a sign (especially by celibacy) of heaven (where there is no marriage). Breaking those vows is breaking with Christ, and if unrepented will have eternal consequences. Bishops and Cardinals have red on their clothes to remind them of the blood of the martyrs - every day, when they get dressed. They are supposed to remember that they should have the courage to lay down their lives for the faithful and the gospel. Clearly many bishops and priests either never believed that or never intended to live up to that, or out of cowardice have abandoned what their daily CLOTHES are meant to tell them: you are dead to the privileges and allurements of the world; you should be ready to shed your blood for the Gospel and for the good of the faithful. When the shepherds abandon the flock, the flock is has to step up and protect themselves. That's what Miss O'Connor is doing. It's what Church Militant is doing. The cowardly or worldly or faithless priests, bishops and cardinals will answer to God. Miss O'Connor will answer to God, too. She has acted in integrity, drawing on Catholic teaching of the Gospel. Her boss did not.

Essence (Latin: essentia) is a polysemic term, used in philosophy and theology as a designation for the property or set of properties that make an entity or substance what it fundamentally is, and which it has by necessity, and without which it loses its identity. Essence is contrasted with accident: a property that the entity or substance has contingently, without which the substance can still retain its identity. The concept originates rigorously with Aristotle (although it can also be found in Plato),[1] who used the Greek expression to ti ên einai (τὸ τί ἦν εἶναι,[2] literally meaning "the what it was to be" and corresponding to the scholastic term quiddity) or sometimes the shorter phrase to ti esti (τὸ τί ἐστι,[3] literally meaning "the what it is" and corresponding to the scholastic term haecceity) for the same idea. This phrase presented such difficulties for its Latin translators that they coined the word essentia (English "essence") to represent the whole expression. For Aristotle and his scholastic followers, the notion of essence is closely linked to that of definition (ὁρισμός horismos).[4] In the history of Western philosophy, essence has often served as a vehicle for doctrines that tend to individuate different forms of existence as well as different identity conditions for objects and properties; in this logical meaning, the concept has given a strong theoretical and common-sense basis to the whole family of logical theories based on the "possible worlds" analogy set up by Leibniz and developed in the intensional logic from Carnap to Kripke, which was later challenged by "extensionalist" philosophers such as Quine.

Come out everyone Revelation 18:4 not only children but nuns abused by priest and nuns abusing other girls.

[@lydiazafra3476]

Everybody kindly please read your Bible , the Lord is coming soon , be ready everyone

Cut all the crapola with the men blabbing away, and get to Miss O'Connor actually saying something. The grand-standing lawyers, etc., are not interesting or what anyone comes here for. She finally gets a chance to speak at about 5:45. Do yourself a favor and skip ahead if you want to hear O'Connor speak.

Revelation 18:4 tells everyone to come out of the church and RC is being described in Revelation 17 and Revelation 13 a prophecy of the end of the world .

[@lydiazafra3476]

Michael Matt in Rome : do not reform RC church too late for that . They will not change anyway , get out , get out now or you will be partaker of her sins , lest you share of her plagues Revelation 18:4 Jesus Christ is telling you 2000 years ago only revealed now all of you RC , come out and save your soul and body from hell .

I think this is a very needed interview but why was it done outside with all the traffic noise? I, personally, feel all this abuse is a result of the evil that the Catholic church is and always has been. I feel sad she and the others still pray according to the evil doctrines of that church. But, nonetheless, the fact that she came forward is a somewhat hopeful sign.
