SIGN THE PETITION
After
reading all the various accounts and comments in the case of falsely accused
Fr.
Ronald Escalante, pastor of St. Francis de Sales parish in Purcellville,
VA, I was left asking myself one thing. Why?
Who would accuse this priest of a violation, NOT of sexual abuse, but of
a violation of “boundary,” the latest in the bureaucratic jargon for dealing
with the actions of clergy in the modern Church?
Where could
such a claim come from and again, WHY?
As it turns out my suspicions were correct in assuming it had something
to do with money. It seems the Director
of Religious Education for the parish happens to have a brother who is a
gardener and the two of them thought it would be a grand scheme if they created
a not for profit whose stated goal was to feed the poor, by soliciting funds
from a wide audience very willing to support the launch and growth of a “project”
to provide produce for the hungry.
Naturally, if the appeal is successful and the money starts to roll in,
there’s a lot of gravy over and above the actual expenses that could be
distributed to the “managers” so to speak, who would be repaid and repaid for
their efforts.
