Looking for info about Holy Spirit Parish in the 1960s & 70s

I've seen a number of posts about sexual abuse by priests at Holy Spirit. Interested in any and all info via private message.

I dont think HS had the corner on that market. Abuse took place and continues to take place at most catholic schools and churches. It is a tradition that goes back many hundreds of years.

@more infoe:
Can you back that up with proof? I doubt it. You just love to play the pedophilia card. Do a "google" search on "CBS Chrsto Rey Chicago" and listen to the youtube video. Just in case you're afraid to watch, it was founded by a Jesuit priest who began a school in a bad section of Chicago and has a 100% graduation rate of kids getting accepted into college. Just one example...

Do you really want to open up the can of worms that googling the Catholic church and pedophilia would bring? Are you that stupid? And to ask if it can be backed up with proof? You're either stupid or you have just tuned out the last decade or so of priests and other clergy being accused of heinous things. Keep on, keepin on, slick!

Read the first paragraph from this non-biased website:
http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/all-about-sex/201003/beyond-bad-apple-priests-who-the-pedophiles-really-are

"Only a tiny fraction of child sex abusers are priests". Search for the good of the Catholic church instead of getting caught up in the media which we all know is bent-beyond-belief. You will never know the tons of good the Catholic church has done for this country (education, hospitals, the poor, etc.) and the world because YOU don't want to know it because YOU'RE afraid what you might find and YOUR heart is hardened.

The relevant question is: What fraction of priests are child sex abusers?

Your defense of an organization that has allowed pedophiles to remain in their midst is pathetic at best. To use whatever good they may have done as a way to absolve them of their crimes against the most innocent among us, children, is abhorrent. Please tell me what I'm afraid of. You're a hundred percent right - my heart is hardened against those who prey on children and those who defend them. Burn in hell.

Here's some reading for you -

Since you've brought up the Washington Post as a source of information would be like me bringing up a Catholic source to defend it's position and what it has done lately against pedophile priests. I'm not disagreeing with the issue in the church of pedophile priests, as sadly is has occurred. What I'm saying is to not only rely on media sources such as Washington Post, ABC news, etc. which countless testimonies have been said about the biasness of not reporting the whole story or tailoring it to what the public wants to hear, without searching Catholic sources such as the Vatican website or Catholic.com website to get their slant on the subject.

Conclusion: Jesus never said to follow His people. He said to follow Him. Even Jesus picked a bad choice as one of His apostles and that is Judas. He even knew Judas was going to betray Him (and even the chosen Peter betrayed Him three times in His midst). Humans will continue to sin because it's our fallen nature. Even the holiest of holies (priests, saints, Muslims, Buddhists, New Age spirituality, etc.) have had issues with sin.

What do you think would happen if the FBI or CIA or the Justice Department discovered that thousands of members of a business or professional organization turned out to be running a secret pedophile prostitution ring in the United States? They would thoroughly investigate the matter, arrest all those who were involved, prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law, and execute the sentences passed by the court. Yet, that is exactly what is going on in the Catholic Church, and every law enforcement agency at every level of government has ignored this problem and has treated it as an internal issue of the Catholic Church - such broad and consistent ignorance must be orchestrated at the highest levels of government. The only court cases have been civil cases - suits brought against the Catholic Church by a small number of their victims. The fact that there are thousands of child-molesting criminals walking the streets acting with impunity - in fact, with the swagger of socially-bestowed honor rather than being locked up for their crimes is a sweeping indictment of any nation that enables such a state of affairs.They are all going to hell!

Not a joke. These pedophile Catholic priests and their support groups (parishioners) have caused many young men to take their own lives or grow up to be pedophile abusers themselves. The Catholic church is a horrific organization.

"Please stop it", the original poster does not have to let it go and can post as often as he wants. Making you uncomfortable, huh? Perhaps wake up to the fact that the long term trauma of this kind of abuse and the impact on the brain prevents this individual from just letting it go.

The Catholic Church has a very long history of cover ups and denying justice and help for victims. It is pathetic.

This has nothing to do with Christianity--it has everything to do with a corrupt organization, the catholic church, systematically covering up perverted criminal behavior. You are trying to divert the focus of this thread, which is on the criminal cover up by the catholic church, through your pointless observation. Again, I question anyone who defends the pervasive perverted church and the systemic cover up.

Chances are that the alleged abuse never took place. What you're reading about here are most likely the fantasies or implanted false memories of a troubled gay man.

All who repent and believe Christ paid for their sin on the cross WILL be saved. I thank God for Jesus Christ who redeemed me; and that you are not God, or I too would live for eternity in hell (the place where there is no light, no goodness, no love, no God). Christ died for all but not all will be saved.

I sure hope not. It is nearly impossible to police these priests. The Parishioners are part of the cover-up too. If a kid asks for help they are immediately called liars that will burn in hell.
I know of two Holy Spirit boys who killed themselves as young adults. I broke the cycle of abuse with my kids, we became Presbyterians.

This kind of scandal and associated coverups make me wonder how many people really "believe".

After all, if you've read the bible, one is doomed to hell (which really, really sucks) for participating in this kind of stuff, and, participating or allowing coverups would also put one's after life in question, too.

If these people REALLY believed, do you think they would even come close to chancing eternity in hell?

I certainly wouldn't.

I see it all the time, though. People who go around trumpeting their catholcism, or whatever, and then doing some major sin.

They aren't scared by hell at all. 'Cause they don't really believe. They just like all the benefits they get on earth by claiming catholicism. They are just too dumb to know it.

If people really believed, most people would be walking around with flowers in their hair, giving away 100% of their money, helping others out all the time, etc, 'cause heaven, as represented in religion and the bible, sounds pretty awesome, and hell sounds pretty bad.

But, really nobody is doing that.

I would. I'd be like, there ain't no way I am chancing my shot at eternal heaven,,,I don't give a sh** about my comfort now...I'm helping others ALL THE TIME, giving away all my fish and bread to others, never, ever telling a lie, etc.

Not that many people REALLY believe.
