mr. dennis brennan,
I write to you as an equal, and not as a servant, or an admirer. I do not recognize you as a person who holds a title that I should bow to. I recently read in the news that you are asking the parishioners of your diocese to pay for the filthy misconduct of your misguided clergy molesters and child rapists. It must have occurred to you that the criminals who violated the kids in your diocese are not the parishioners; the criminals in your diocese are the clergy that your church has intentionally allowed to abuse children, and has also condoned, protected, shuffled, and covered up for.
Your criminal syndicate’s actions and implications go all the way to the top of your organization- the hierarchy at the Vatican, and that is where you should seek money to pay for the unconscionable deeds of your despicable child violators. If your catholic organization had acted responsibly, and not allowed the criminal conduct, molestation, rape, and sodomy of innocent children, you would not be experiencing the financial troubles you are experiencing today.
Your actions of demanding that the parishioners pay for the sordid acts of sexual misconduct and criminal coverup by your peers is a testament to the continued audacity of your church, and a reminder to the world that you have no decency or respect for the innocent people in your diocese. Instead, you display an arrogant disrespect for both the violated victims, and the parishioners – all of whom are not the guilty parties in this continuing atrocious scandal.
