“…much more than others scrambling around with their egos and pettiness and “right to be right!…”
Why?
Don’t take this away from Scot.
I beg. No one take this any further.

Scot is of course telling the truth, no question. That anyone – let alone a publicly appointed judge – would make him feel this way for telling the truth, is, well, words do not describe the injustice this person has lived through.

I cannot help think that Scot is the stronger, wiser, soul for having gone through this.

As a result of all this – he is smart, humble and wise – much more than others scrambling around with their egos and pettiness and “right to be right!”

Scot, a hard price was paid for the wisdom and insight you have gained – few others get close. May you continue to find truth and peace – and to bring these gifts to others who may need to hear: yes, in the end, it is possible to get the respect (and apology) you need.

Scotland, I hope you be releived of the anxiety, anger and confusion you sufferd from your experience, especially at the hands of the Judge.
I have prayed for you many times.
My step-son was picked up hitch-hiking by Mullins, while Mullins was At Annunciation in Beacon Hill, and Mullins teied to make a move on him as they were driving. At traffic lights my step-son got out. He told us about it.
He was lucky.
Mullins also hung out around Calabogie for a time. The Pator there had no time for him.May God Bless you and heal you !

Scot you are alone no more, take your rightful place among the many innocent survivors of the criminal acts of these malicious and thoughtless men. Do not let this event define your life. You are worthy of every respect and dignity that our society affords all it’s members. The truth of this tragedy is that the Church has abused it’s prestige, standing and it’s considerable wealth and power to demean and quash it’s mo st vulnerable. Stand proud Scotland Wharran you are a man among men and be proud of your spirit and strength.

Scotland,
I second Lona’s motion and hope that the words will help with the healing. What happened to you shouldn’t be allowed in an honest society, from priest to judge!
We shouldn’t have to hope ,pray and “wish”…Should never have occurred.
Hope you are walking tall, as you should.
You have helped many others by surviving.
You’re about the same age as my daughter…
There are a lot of people by your side this time , “son”…
Take care.

I just heard that the Crown was seeking 8 years and will appeal the sentence. Hallelujah, and hats off to the Crown! I'm going to find and post an article with that info. Once done I will also link it here.

Scotland: Your words of thanks just made my day. A bouquet from heaven! I venture a guess others are as overwhelmed as I am. Awesome.

A link to a site which has video clips from the presentations given at Vatican Sex Abuse Conference in Rome. The clips are short but they do give us chance to put faces to the presenters: http://thr.unigre.it/vescovi2012/en-gb/presspublic/press/video.aspx

Yes, PJ, 3 years is no more that a ‘Tut tut, bad boy”! Sad to say, in Canada three years is a ‘stiff’ sentence. Most get 2 years less a day or less. Basilian priest Hod Marshall got 2 years in Windsor Ontario – for the sex abuse of 16 boys and one young woman. Marshall also bargained in a sweet deal to his guilty plea: no more charges in Ontario.

So, yes, what exactly is the recipe?

Thankfully the sweet deal did not extend to Saskatoon Saskatchewan where, on 07 February 2012, new charges were laid against convicted molester Father William Hodgson Marshall csb.

Bravo to all who stand up against their molester, you, the Lavoie victims, the Marshall victims – Bravo to ALL of you! out there who have come forward.

3 years is not enough for damn sure. When our pervert was sentenced to 2 and a half years on 32 charges from 13 altar servers, I went into a long depression and extreme anger. I still can’t believe that was all he got. It doesn’t surprise me that this guy got a similar sentence…disgusts me all the same. What kind of recipe do judges use?? Bravo to those 13 abused who stood up against him…I know what you have gone through.
