Now They're Warning People About Him!

The blatant hypocrisy of the Catholic Church is yet again being exposed in the case of Monsignor Dale Fushek.

Fushek was an up and coming priest in the Phoenix, Arizona diocese. According to the Nov 24 East Valley/Scottsdale (Arizona) Tribune article, “Priest Indicted in Sex Case Opens Worship Center," Fushek has been:

“Indicted on seven misdemeanor charges of sex-related behavior with male teens…between 1984 and 1994” and,

“Faces one count of assault, five counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and one count of indecent exposure. Teens complained that he carried on sexually explicit discussions with them during confession, exposed himself to them as he got into his hot tub and created a sexually charged setting with teens present.”

Since being placed on leave by the diocese, Fushek, through his “Life Teen” ministry, has started a “Praise and Worship Center” which resembles one of those post-evangelical churches – with the requisite rock-n-roll “worship” music along with an upbeat, non-threatening, watered-down bible message.

The problem is – hundreds of Catholics are attending this!! There have been several services since mid-November atttacting anywhere from 500-700 people.

Now - all of a sudden – the Diocese of Phoenix is concerned about Fushek!!

To quote from a Jan 14 Catholic News Service article titled, “Bishop Warns Catholics to Avoid Services Started by Life Teen Founder,” Fushek:

“Is drawing hundreds of participants a week, prompting a warning to Catholics from the bishop of Phoenix to stay away from the services and not to support the center.”

A Jan 3 statement from the diocese said:

“The diocese wishes to express its grave concern for Catholics who may be misled or confused by the actions of Dale Fushek and Mark Dippre.” (Dippre is a former associate pastor…who left public ministry in 2002 and later married.)

“It is important for the faithful to know that both priests are acting contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church and remain disobedient to directives of the bishop of Phoenix to whom they pledged obedience and respect…”

Question – Why wasn’t the diocese warning Catholics about Fushek from 1984-1994 when he was playing his games with boys and young men?

Answer – Because Catholic bishops really don’t care if priests are perverts and abuse children!

The diocesan statement also encouraged Catholics “To refrain from attending or supporting the Praise and Worship Center.”

May the Spirit of God keep exposing the evil system that Roman Catholicism is, and grant many Catholics repentance from Rome and faith ALONE in Christ.

"Priest Charged With Lying About Mob Ties"

This was the title of a Jan 3 Pittsburgh Tribune-Review article about Scranton, Pennsylvania priest Joseph Sica who:

“Was arraigned…(Jan 2)…on a charge of lying to a grand jury about his alleged relationship with a deceased mob boss.”

Pennsylvania has been investigating the mob ties of long-time Sica friend Louis DeNaples, who was recently granted a gambling license by the state. Sica has gotten in hot water because he testified that he only once met deceased Mafia boss Russell Bufalino, whereas the truth is quite different.

Who was Russell Bufalino? A Jan 7 Philadelphia Inquirer article titled, “Questions Surround ‘People’s Priest’” described him as, “The most notorious mobster in Northeastern Pennsylvania,” and, “One of the most ruthless and powerful leaders of the Mafia.”

Catholic priests lie so much they forget that someone might dare expose their lies! To quote from the Tribune-Review article:

“The grand jury said evidence showed Sica had a ‘substantial relationship’ with Bufalino.”

“Bufalino attended a party to celebrate Sica’s ordination, and a photograph was taken of Sica with Bufalino and his wife.” In a note accompanying this photo, Sica wrote to Mr and Mrs Bufalino:

“Words cannot express my thankfulness to both of you. You have done a lot for me and mean a lot to me.”

“Another photo was presented to the grand jury showing Sica, Russell Bufalino and his nephew Angelo Bufalino, at a barbeque. In another picture, Sica was seated at a table with the Bufalino’s and Willian D’Elia, who allegedly heads the Bufalino crime family.”

In 1982, Sica even wrote a letter to the wife of then Gov. Dick Thornburgh on behalf of Bufalino after he was sentenced to prison! Sica wrote, “It is all a conspiracy against a man who has lived a life of honesty, generosity, justice, and belief in the American system.”

Hmmmm……And Catholics believe men like Father Sica have the power to command Christ to turn Himself into wafers and wine.

Why would a Catholic priest have such friends? One answer might be that in 1997 Sica had over $218,000 in debts and filed for bankruptcy. But in June of that year, the bankruptcy case was dismissed – with no one ever repaid, and none of the creditors objecting!!

Comment – Yeah……if guys with names like Rocky and Vito “made me an offer I couldn’t refuse,” I might drop some debt claims too!!

We thank God for yet again exposing the wicked nature of the Catholic priesthood. May Catholics be given the grace to forsake Rome forever, and to receive Christ by faith ALONE for the full and free forgiveness of sins – no Roman priest needed!

"Shock: $100K Gone, $1M Owed, Nudist Priest"

This was the title of a Dec 18 WXYZ-TV (Detroit, Michigan) article that went on to say:

“Prosecutor Kym L. Worthy charged Debra Ann Kilyanek, 54 of Garden City with Embezzlement over $100,000, a felony that carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison and/or $25,000, or 3 times the amount embezzled, whichever is greater and, Using a Computer to Commit a Crime, a felony that carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and/or $20,000.”

“The Archdiocese of Detroit conducted an audit of the books at St Dunstan and uncovered a loss of $111,693....(and)...turned the matter over to the Garden City Police Department and the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office for investigation. Beginning in October 2005 Ms. Kilyanek began charging her personal transactions to the St Dunstan Parish checking account. Most of these transactions were either phoned in or paid via the internet using the parish checking account information. Ms. Kilyanek allegedly used parish funds to pay her personal credit obligations.”

And, because Ms Kilyanek did not keep the books properly:

“The parish now owes in excess of $1,000,000 in taxes, interest and penalties to the federal government for unpaid taxes (payroll taxes, FICA and Medicare).”

Question - Where was the priest, Father Donald Demmer, when all this was happening? He was busy with other things:

“Records show that he made as many as 200 trips to casinos in Michigan, Nevada and Florida since 2000.”

“He has made numerous trips out of the state and the country to casinos and Caribbean resorts including Club Orient” (a nudist camp on the island of St Martin).

“Numerous subscription charges were made to companies providing pornographic internet services that appear on Father Demmer’s bank records.”

Demmer has not been charged with anything because, supposedly, he used funds donated to him personally from parishioners, not church funds.

How has the archdiocese disciplined Demmer? They put him on “medical leave” this past June!

So......what’s the reaction of the Catholic “faithful” to this? The Detroit Free Press Dec 18 article, “Prosecutor: St Dunstan Priest’s Conduct ‘Disturbing, not Criminal,’" reported:

“St. Dunstan parishioner Gregg Ward said he still hopes Demmer returns to the church. ‘We’re a church of forgiveness and redemption. I’m not sure what in the state of Michigan the definition of a gambling problem is.’”

“’There’s no reason to smear a person, other than the satisfaction to smear a Catholic priest,’ Ward said. ‘In the Catholic Church, we have Bingos, we have Vegas nights, there are priests that go to casinos. If people have given their money to him freely, it’s not with strings attached. We have three casinos in the city of Detroit.’”

Comment – He’s got to be kidding! But he’s not!! Would you want such a man to lead your church?

Catholics are not Christians. Are you praying daily for Catholic conversions? This episode only shows the rampant corruption in the Catholic Church, and how lost the heart of a Catholic can be.
