This man is a brother at my local diocese, on his way to becoming a priest. He may even be a cardinal one day. Do not judge this man for only God can do that. He will be saved and be a better man. Amen.

This man is sick! Threathening thousands of students and a principal, he was literally involved with child pornography and was constantly harrasing younger girls. HE IS LITERALLY NOT OKAY, his brain literally does not function properly like a normal human. He was on his way to become a priest, which makes him even more sick, just imagine someone on a journey to become a priest as they are threatening not just one school but 3 with thousands of students in each. Sending girls nude pictures without there permission or acceptance and constantly harrassing them as well as being involved with child pornography! I dont care if I sound repetive but you need to get it through your head and realize hes going to be in jail for the rest of his life just like he deserves to be. Now I hope God heals all of these people affected by this situation dealing with mental health issues. They will be saved and will prosper. Amen.

If that’s true, even the Catholic church won’t want him.
