A Nefarious Faith
Included here is Oliver O’Grady from Stockton, California who admitted to raping and molesting at least 25 children. He was recently arrested for possession of child pornography of children as young as 2 years old. The church (Bishop Roger Mahoney) knew of his crimes as early as 1976 and each report would motivate the diocese to transfer him to a new parish. Also present is Bishop Roger Vangheluwe who admitted to abusing his nephews for 15 years beginning when one nephew was 5 years old. Vangheluwe was never charged as the statute of limitations had expired. He is currently living on a generous pension somewhere in West Flanders. Saint Athansius of Alexandria was a charismatic and highly intelligent theologian born in 290. He was exiled 5 times in part for his unwavering belief that Jesus was God incarnate. It has been written that Athansius rigged his own election, stole funds for the sale of grain meant for the Empire, and was suspected of the murder of a fellow theologian.
