Timothy Scott, on staff as a teacher at St. Mary`s College in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario in 1983 (Excalibur yearbook). He was an associate with the Basilians and lived with them in Crawley Hall. This is Father Tim Scott, the current spokesman for the Basilians (2011 & 2012) who attended the sentencing hearing of Father Hod Marshall csb. Hod Marshall was Principal at St. Mary`s in 1983
Now that just creeps me out!!!! Here was Scott living right alongside Marshall in Crawley Hall while Marshall was abusing kids at night in the very same building and at their shared school. And Campbell was there with them too!! And yet Scott STILL chose to become a basilian … to be one of THEM. Creepy as all get out!
And now he speaks for them and expresses regret over the actions that took place under his very nose! I think this is an absolutely amazing discovery Sylvia and intriguing as well. Could they not find someone as spokesperson whose formative years studying, discerning God’s call and deciding to become a basilian WEREN’T spend under the tutelage of a child molester?? Not one? Maybe so. Maybe they can’t find a single remaining basilian who hasn’t lived with, slept with, ate with, studied with, taught with and worshiped with a child molester. Though in this case it appears he may have lived with two of them … plus that Fr. O’Reilly character. I forget – was he the guy growing pot in his room?
What kind of young man legitimately believing God is calling him to serve as a priest, living with three “priests” such as those would not run screaming in horror?? What kind of a man would choose to JOIN them??
I don’t think the basilians would ever have brought such information forward but it certainly strains their credibility to have a man expressing their “regret” who was right there when it was happening. Would have been a lot better for all his victims from the early 80’s onward if he had expressed something then instead of now.
Sorry I Can’t Say, as you know I am sure, there is nothing to say and no proof that Father Scott was aware that Hod Marshall was molesting boys at St. Mary’s. I will say however that had I known at the sentencing hearing that Father Scott taught at St Mary’s and lived in residence with the small group of Basilians who taught at St. Mary’s I would definitely have asked him what his impressions were, of both Fathers Marshall and Campbell. And I would have asked him if he recalled that Father Campbell was constantly surrounded by young boys and frequently taking young lads on camping trips. And I would have asked if he recalled the young lad from Windsor Ontario who stayed at Crawley Hall while on a trip with Father Marshall. And I would have asked if it was common for young boys – unaccompanied by their parents – to sleep over at Crawley Hall. I probably would also have asked if he recalled the marijuana plants, and the smell of pot wafting through the building as Father O’Reilly indulged himself with his ‘habit.’ (Father O’Reilly wasn’t just growing pot in his room, he had marijuana plants growing in the living room, dinning room and hall.)
It seems to me that in light of his time teaching at St. Mary’s with Father Marshall and in residence at Crawley Hall it was improper for Father Scott to attend Hod Marshall’s sentencing hearing as a spokesman for the Basilians and to offer an apology on their behalf.
Was in the seminary with him – a creep then, a creep today. Arrogant (way beyond any reasonable assessment of his limited abilities), jaded, no ethic. It’s all a game to these guys. Live a middle- to upper-middle class lifestyle, pretend and pose, all under a veneer of pseudo respectability.
Here’s the key to how they think: I’ll protect your dirty little secrets if you protect my dirty big secrets. And woe to you who doesn’t oblige the rules of their sick game.
This whole “priest” thing should come crashing down – and right soon. Rosica, Katulski, etc etc. All cut from the same filthy, moth eaten fabric.
I spoke to this man during a recess at Hod’s sentencing hearing. I asked Father Scott if he had anything to say to the victims of this old degenerate (sorry, Father Marshall).
He turned his back on me and walked away, with a sneering “I’m way above you look”.
His public “apology” was lame, pathetic, and insincere in my opinion.
He was obviously (as klieglamp states) trying vainly to protect one of his brothers who were cut from the same filthy, moth-eaten rags. Mike.
I knew Tim at St. Joseph’s College in Edmonton. Arrogant type and he knew a lot about this creep, Marshall. He told me. I could go on. What’s the point? The Basilian Fathers have so many dirty secrets. Bob Kasun (Bishop), Ned Donoher, Norbert Clemens, Norm Fitzpatrick and the list goes on! I lived at St. Charles College in Sudbury in 1985. Got the hell out of there. Then St. Michael’s College School, pedophile central. They were everywhere!
