I am sick. Just sick.
Look at this:
As you see, I highlighted that “good” news.
Ottawa’s Archbishop Prendergast has appointed Father Stephen Amesse as Associate Rector at St. Patrick’s Basilica in Ottawa.
This is the priest who, as a layman, assisted in the compilation of the CCCB’s 1992 sex abuse guidelines but at his own sex abuse trial claimed he didn’t know what grooming was! Not only that, he essentially testified that a 14-year-old boy is not a child!
And, yes, this is the priest whose friend Eric is a body builder in the States. Eric, who shaves his body, probably – as the Crown suggested and the complainant “Robert” said he was told – to make his muscles stand out. That’s Eric the body builder, who I personally discovered, has very nude and filthy pictures posted in several places online, including on sites which feature gay porn.
Yes indeed, this is the priest who bought Robert a body shaver!
It’s Father Amesse, the priest who testified that he shaves his body because he doesn’t like the feel of hair on his clothing.
Enough. I suggest that those who are not familiar with the sorry and thoroughly disgusting tale of the Father Stephen Amesse sex trial and acquittal read the following blogs:

As I say, I am sick with this news.
What a Christmas gift from Archbishop Prendergast to those poor souls at St. Patrick’s Basilica! Imagine. Two days before Christmas.
More about this as I think it through..
Enough for now,
