Even if the Archbishop did his due diligence with respect to John Howard Wadeson (something far from certain), WHY WHY WHY is he a seminary formator??? Is there any Catholic seminary in the world where a man who has been stripped of his priestly faculties in a major archdiocese because of two credible accusations of sexual abuse of minors is given the responsibility for the spiritual formation and vocational discernment for seminarians in another archdiocese? Wow. It's not pharisaical to ask that question.

In answer to Chuck White's question, the Seminary is used as a pass through to funnel money to individuals who would raise questions if they were put on the archdiocesan payroll. So long as the seminary does not show more than $50,000 in income, as a 501c3 it does not have to file a tax return which would be public information because of its non-profit status. This is why Archbishop Apuron is arguing to keep the seminary finances separate from any archdiocesan financial report. On another note, and as mentioned elsewhere, how does Fr. Wadeson function as a "formator for a seminary in Guam when he lives in San Francisco? Actually, that's not "another note". That's the same note. Effectively it is money laundering. We are paying someone for a job he doesn't do. What is his job? He's a presbyter for the neo communities in San Francisco, courtesy of the money of the people of Guam. If that's not true Archbishop, then PUBLISH the Seminary's financials.

ReplyDeleteWonderful. What's he doing in San Francisco and on our payroll?
DeleteDon't be so cheap, Tim, it is for Evangelization!!
DeleteIf Fr. Wadeson is in San Francisco in any capacity, I would question the integrity of the Archbishop there as well. In this day and age of information, why do these accused priest enjoy seemingly anonymity?
DeleteAnonymous 12:44pm, Archbishop Cordileone is actually very conservative. I'm sure His Excellency wouldn't take this news very lightly. I wonder if www.sfarchdiocese.org has a helpful link or number?
DeleteTheir policy is pretty clear and posted on their website. It does not look like Fr. Wadeson was properly vetted per their own procedures. If so, and was still allowed in their Archdiocese, their policy means nothing.
DeleteNeocatechumenate at St. Anne’s
ReplyDeletestarts on September 15th
Dear Parishioners:
I am happy to share the great news about the
initiation of the “ Neocatechumenate Way ” at St.
Anne’s. Next weekend, Fr. John Wadeson, a priest that
guides the various Neocatechumenal Communities in
the Bay Area, will come to give a brief invitation at all
the weekend Masses.

If I'm not mistaken, isn't money laundering against the law? In fact, I believe it's a federal offense. And if this is so, the RMS's finances should be subjected to a criminal investigation. The FBI should be contacted and told of this alleged fraudulent channelling of money. This would be an indication of corruption within the Chancery.
ReplyDeleteIt could be. However, this is why I said it is "effectively" money laundering. There's nothing civilly illegal about it. There is however a matter of ethics. But then the Neo's make their own rules in that regard.
DeleteIf you have evidence of money laundering then it should be reported to the police. If you make an accusation, you need to back it up with evidence. Don't tell the archbishop to prove you wrong. Either you have the evidence for this accusation and go to the police with it or your accusation is nothing.
ReplyDeleteRead comment above...or at least try.
