Pastor Louis D. Lamonica's child-rape trail is expected to resume after Lousiana recovers from Hurrican Gustav.
Lamonica, 49, of Hammond, faces four counts of aggravated rape in the alleged abuse of his two sons when they were 11 years old or younger. He is the second of seven church members to face trial after being accused of molesting children. All seven people were indicted in 2005.
The Rev. Thomas Kane of Whitinsvillel, therapist to a Rev. Edward Paquette, for treatment after molesting two young boys, has been accused of the same crime.
Court papers in Vermont and Massachusetts indicate the dates of Kane's alleged abuse of the Uxbridge, Mass., boy -- 1968 to 1977 -- coincide with the period from 1974 to 1978 that Paquette was being treated, for much of the time via monthly visits, at the House of Affirmation.
I think the Catholic Church is do over. Are they all child molesters?
Pastor Jay Virtue Robinson admits he had an inappropriate relationship with an underage girl.
On Friday afternoon, his admission came in the form of the word "guilty" before Judge Everett Young and the victim’s family in a Tarrant County courtroom.
In exchange for pleading guilty to sexual assault, Robinson was sentenced to 10 years of deferred-adjudication probation. He will have to register as a sex offender for life.
Robinson admitted to his crime to his church. He also admitted lying during the entire process. In the end, he was only interested in his own skin. Watch for him in a Baptist church near you.
Disgraced Baptist pastor Royden Wood, was convicted of nine sexual assaults on three boys. He was sentenced to one year and jail and three years probation. Wood is looking forward to hard time.
"I had a good time there," he said of his time awaiting bail. "I have an intense and passionate desire to help people and I was a tremendous blessing to many in jail. The other inmates were constantly asking me, 'Why are you so happy?' It's easy to be in jail. It's hard to be out here."
I feel sorry for his fellow prisoners.
Pastor Matthew Kidd is being sued for allegedly molesting five children. Cases like this bother me. No criminal charges have been filed, nor has Kidd been arrested. In a case like this, I am neutral.
A couple and their five children have filed a lawsuit against a Muncie pastor, his church and Ontario Systems, where he also works, alleging the clergyman sexually abused the children.
The suit, filed Tuesday in Delaware Circuit Court 1, targets Matthew Kidd, pastor at Freedom Point Apostolic Church (formerly known as the United Pentecostal Church), 6460 E. Jackson St.
I'll watch his case. If Kidd is arrested, then this is news. Otherwise, it could just be a gold digger. It happens.
Asshat pastor Scott Allen Snyder may have fudged his past a little. That is before he kissed a 13-year-old and sent graphic sexual images to a 14-year-old.
The incorrect credentials include academic degrees from schools he did not graduate from, pastoral jobs he did not hold and a police task-force position he never filled, according to interviews with school officials, people who worked with him and police.
The Rev. Scott Allen Snyder, 35, of Windsor said he did not know where the information posted on his church Web site came from. He did not respond to requests for comment about resumes said to be from him that were provided by a previous employer, and he repeatedly declined to disclose an accurate educational history.
The end is coming for Pastor Snyder. When the end comes, it will be brutal. I'm thinking a suicide watch may be necessary.
I love this lie:
The typed resume also includes a line that states:"Certified/License- Sharpshooter/fugitive taskforce officer Pa. State Police"
State police officials said last week they neither certify nor license sharpshooters who are not state troopers, and Snyder has never served as a trooper, according to the state police human resources department in Harrisburg.
I'm behind on my updates for Hypocrisy Watch. Sometimes I grow weary of reporting on this idiots. I'll get back in the grove soon.
Logging you in...

So much for wishful thinking.

You need to get your facts straight. Aside from the lack of truth from his accusers in the courtroom, the above statement was not news or truth. The correct statement would be, "Disgraced Baptist pastor Royden Wood, was convicted of nine assaults on three boys." - Convicted does not necessarily mean guilty.
If you knew Mr. Wood, you would know that he is not what the accusers portrayed, but rather that the courts are swayed by the evil in the minds of others. That is the same evil that allows you to think you are doing good by publishing inflammatory and incorrect statements.

You are right regarding the sexual assualt. He was convicted of assault. My bad. He sexual assualted two women and beat the crap out of nine boys. There, that's a much better story.

Your point re "evil minds" is not an objection; it's a supposition. Conspiracy theories aren't all that convincing when they're self-serving. Be that as it may, Royden Wood might be able to use it in his appeal: "Your honor, evil minds influenced the court. My proof is they convicted me!" Hmm. Maybe not.
But as far as Mojoey's writing goes: next time, please separate out the legal objection, the conspiratorial point and the grammatical lesson. Mixing them is grammatically confusing, and incorrect. Besides, who are you to dictate how Mojoey writes?
Mojoey does some good work, here. He highlights the abuse some pastors, and other individuals in positions of trust, mete out. That the various church organizations haven't addressed their own failings makes Mojoey's efforts all the more valuable (indeed, they abdicate any responsibility). But no one, including Mojoey I would assume (I can't speak for Mojoey, obviously), is saying anyone has to like his blog. Some of us do, I'm guessing you don't. C'est la vie and all that.

It would be so much easier for everyone if "Christians" established their own "task force" to rid their ranks of the "bad guys". In my past 7 decades, religious "leaders" have been conspicuous by their absence. It would appear that they are like most other "groups" as they leave it to the outsiders to discover their wrong doers.
If they really believe in a "Christ", they might like to think what their Christ would have done!!! If he allegedly got angry and threw the money lenders out of the temple, I think he would be even more upset with religious pedophiles.
Since, according to them, the religious leaders are supposed to be doing their "Christ's" work, I would like to see more of them "cleaning house", rather than foisting their rejects on unsuspecting populations, especially children.
In these cases, Christian loyalty trumps morality! YUK!!!

This world is wicked because of people like your pastor. Grow a brain.
