Keene Sentinel by Roger Vaste 19 March 03

The ravings of a VOTF supporter who blames the entire Church "hierarchy"

for the actions of a few misguided Bishops. 

 

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

 

For some time now The Keene Sentinel ( newspaper for the town of Keene, New Hampshire ) has promoted abortion, homosexual "rights," and any dissent from Catholic teaching.  While this liberal newspaper censors the views of Catholics loyal to the Magisterium of the Church, it regularly publishes the views of "Catholic" dissidents and malcontents.

 

Late last year, The Keene Sentinel published the sick views of a dissident nun who believes that the Rev. Roland Cote (who had a six year homosexual "relationship" with a teen) should be allowed to continue as Pastor of St. Patrick's Parish in Jaffery, NH. 

 

In today's [ 19 MARCH 02 ] Keene Sentinel, readers are subjected to the ravings of a VOTF supporter who blames the entire Church "hierarchy" for the actions of a few misguided Bishops.  In this letter, Francis Warman writes "New leadership will be required, as well as greater participation of followers.  We need to break the code of silence so pervasive in the Church.."

 

Clearly, The Keene Sentinel is a Satanic publication bent on serving its master by refusing to publish letters to the editor which reflect Catholic moral teaching while freely promoting the ideas of anti-Catholic individuals like Francis Warman and groups like VOTF.

 

I urge all residents of Keene, New Hampshire who are Catholic and follow the Magisterium to boycott The Keene Sentinel and to protest the paper's Satanic agenda.  The publication may be reached at: mailto:letters@keenesentinel.com

 

Your Brother in Christ,

Subject: The Keene Sentinel's censorship of Roman Catholics

 

Greetings in Christ!

 

The Keene Sentinel is indeed rejecting letters to the editor which reflect solid Catholic teaching.  Just last year the newspaper was publishing letters from Catholics who embrace the teachings of Holy Mother Church.  But such is no longer the case.

 

This may be due to the fact that the newspaper published an exchange of letters to the editor last year between advocates of the dissident group "Voice of the Faithful" and Catholics who follow Pope John Paul II and the Magisterial teaching of the Church as reflected in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

 

The advocates of "Voice of the Faithful" lost the intellectual debate and leaders of this counterfeit-Catholic organization decided not to hold meetings here in Keene.  Perhaps the anti-Church liberals who produce The Keene Sentinel are now embittered that the forces of dissent lost this battle and are simply determined to silence any and all expression of true Catholic teaching.

 

My last two letters to the editor have been censored.  The last one was a response to a confused individual who labeled all pro-lifers as "self-appointed dictators of pro-life," and as "fanatics."  Not only was my response not published, but I received no answer to a query as to why it was not published. 

 

Roger is right.  Faithful Catholics who live in the Monadnock area should respond to this anti-Catholic bias and arrogance by boycotting The Keene Sentinel.

The Catholic priest whose recent admission that he had a homosexual affair with a teenager plunged his Jaffrey parish into turmoil is leaving, church staff said yesterday.

The Rev. Roland P. Cote told parishioners he will leave St. Patrick Church tomorrow, parish secretary Liz DiRusso said yesterday.

He is expected to say weekend Masses, she said.

Parishioners said they neither were told where Cote is going, nor who will replace him.

N.H. bishop reportedly coached priest on abuse reply

Boston Globe

By Stephen Kurkjian, Globe Staff, 10/30/2002

JAFFREY, N.H. - Before becoming bishop of the Manchester Diocese, John B. McCormack spent much of the 1980s and 1990s as the aide to Cardinal Bernard F. Law who dealt with - and according to records, often coddled - priests accused of molesting children.

In April, a flood tide of documents showed how McCormack threw a protective blanket over the Rev. Paul R. Shanley when others complained about Shanley's public support for men having sex with boys. Two weeks after the Shanley disclosures, McCormack resigned as chairman of a US bishops' committee on sexual abuse.

In June, McCormack decided it was appropriate to reassign the Rev. Ronald P. Cote, 57, to St. Patrick's Church here, even though Cote had admitted to McCormack that he'd had sex with a teenage boy and that the diocese was arranging a secret and pricey settlement of a legal claim against the priest.
