KNOCKOUT! Falsely accused St. Louis priest Rev. Joseph Jiang fights SNAP – and wins!
In a monumental victory for truth and justice in the Catholic Church abuse story, a federal judge has ruled that the lawyer-funded group SNAP indeed defamed St. Louis priest Rev. Xiu Hui "Joseph" Jiang and conspired to falsely claim the priest of child sex abuse.
In her ruling, the judge sanctioned SNAP, its national director David Clohessy, and its "outreach director" Barbara Dorris and ordered them to pay for Fr. Jiang's attorney fees and expenses.

SNAP national director
David Clohessy
The abuse claims were outlandish from the beginning. The accuser "had made previous unfounded allegations of sexual abuse" and already had a reputation of being "a serial exaggerator to the point of being 'delusional.'"
Meanwhile, one of the accuser's parents had a "history of making unfounded claims against the Catholic Church for monetary gain" and had a long record in the civil court system, with at least 2 liens and 16 judgments against him.
SNAP's willful contempt
Throughout the legal process, SNAP repeatedly and willfully defied a federal judge's orders to hand over important documentary evidence in the case. Then, as we reported just a few weeks ago, the group proceeded to orchestrate a fraudulent media campaign about the case.
So when U.S. District Court Judge Carol E. Jackson issued her ruling this week, she really let SNAP have it, concluding:
- "SNAP defendants' refusal to comply with the Court's discovery orders has been willful and in bad faith";
- "SNAP defendants conspired with one another and others to obtain plaintiff's conviction on sexual abuse charges and that they entered into this conspiracy due to discriminatory animus against plaintiff based on his religion, religious vocation, race and national origin";
- "SNAP defendants' public statements about plaintiff (Fr. Jiang) were false and they did not conduct any inquiry into the truth or falsity of these public statements, but instead made these statements negligently and with reckless disregard for the truth."
To punish SNAP for its recklessness, Jackson ordered that SNAP "pay the reasonable expenses, including plaintiff's attorney's fees, caused by their failure to comply with the Court's orders."
Kudos to Fr. Jiang for his victory for truth and justice.
I feel so sorry that people have to read P's lies. Not because they are about me, that's all he does; but because his nastiness just reeks. I mean It's unwell. It's not healthy. He's like an open sewer of venom. He's poison. Not to me or my veracity just to life itself, really. Why would anybody want to be that bad?
Oh my gosh.. blah..blah..blah.
And on the 8th at 707PM JR will attempt to deal with the material on the table by heading for his preferred version of the high-ground: with a combination of pearl-clutching and the Wig of Condescension: he doth “feel so sorry for people” … apparently the same “people” upon whom he larded the layers of his rape story for years here.
And he doth so because “they have to read [my] lies” – with, of course, no demonstration by accurate quotation of any “lies” at all. They had to read his stuff and accept all manner of assertions, accusations, epithets and so forth for years … but that doesn’t seem to bother him at al; (and why should it since this is merely a performance?).
Then the Wig of Diagnosis – or rather of Epithetical Diagnosis since he doesn’t explain how he reached his diagnosis (Wigs, as we now know, are only good for mimicry but don’t actually contain an intelligence chip underneath the bangles and beads). But the Wig of Diagnosis is only a Wig, and this entire bit here is merely a cover for epithet and nothing more.
And then more and more obvious epithet (“an open sewer”) worked into the diagnostic mimicry. Which leads to riffing on “venom” and “poison”.
Continuing with my comment on JR’s of the 8th at 707PM:
But having had his romp in the plop, JR now has set himself a problem: he might well appear to be merely engaging in his usual self-serving plop-tossy epithet.
He has to come up with some way to distract from that. Whatever shall he do?
His solution is sly but obvious: the Tribune is not concerned for himself and his own “veracity” (as if that ship hasn’t already sailed). No, he is nobly but profoundly concerned because I am “poison” – popcorn, please – “to life itself, really”. That’s how “bad” I am.
And even more slyly, he instantly tries to manipulate readers beyond any thought about the assertion he just posed by asking a question that presumes his assertion: “Why would [I] want to be that bad?”.
Neat. But the clunking mechanisms behind it all are obvious now.
Yawn! Blah Blah blah in deed.
If kris is talking about P. He could just as easily be talking about me. Where Who Why are the readership here. There must be some or Dave wouldn't do what he does here. Every once in a while usually just after Dave's posted something "new" There's a little flutter of activity here. Talk wise. But who are the readership here? Why are they here? How did they get here? Do they come back? Or has old dulcet tones, "P"amela "P"ositivity. driven them away with her varicose, vacuous venom. Flashing those tired old wits (tits) of hers and clutching them to herself as if they were jewels. and she was the Queen of Sheba. Or Captain of the Minnow
I mean most likely there are very few readers here. Dave can show the # of comments (Hand enhanced by P) to whom ever he shows his stats to for here. My question is: Why is this site here? I know it's to pretend there's a need for it. But is that working? You have to have more than Dave and Publion and Malcolm if you are to pretend this site comes from a natural matrix of concerned Catholics. Where am they? (I meant to say "am") Doesn't seem like very many care about your issues.
P, You may read what I write here and hurl the shit you always hurl, but you can't write as well as I do. You've no rhythm. No gift for truth or the language. You're just chronically pedestrian.
On the 8th at 1054PM ‘Dan’ will now try to extricate himself from what he actually said; readers may read his actual original statements and then read this bit of 1054PM and realize that his only solution is to ignore what he actually wrote and now try to explain-it-away as if he had written something else entirely, i.e. that when he referred to the “government” he was actually referring to the Pope and the bishops and the thing goes downhill from there.
And yet then he also tries to make sense of his original whacky statement too: it’s “not such a far stretch” that “popes [are] puppet leaders of countries or govt’s”; because – doncha see? – if Popes are “cozying up to” world leaders then … they are “puppet leaders of countries or gov’ts” … ?
Again, simplified for simple-minds. Do you actually work at being stupid or does that come naturally. Gov't does nothing to seek justice, and THEIR, (the CATHOLIC CULT'S) puppet leader, does nothing to seek justice. As far as all your other repetitive ignorance, no comment necessary.
Continuing with my comment on ‘Dan’s of the 8th at 1054PM:
And yet – marvelously – it is I who am “reaching for straws and “blowing things way out of proportion” (which, in ‘Dan’-speak, means taking ‘Dan’s words as they are written and revealing the whackery that he puts into his statements). We should just, rather, believe his cartoons and not look too closely at them.
Which – when you think about it – is pretty much the same strategy the Stampede uses for its stories: believe them but don’t be so gauche and insensitive as to actually consider them closely.
And then the “P.S.” is just another ranting repetition of some of his usual stuff about Catholics worshipping the Pope and Mary.
On the 9th at 3AM ‘Dan’ will try to reduce my comments of the 6th at 1257PM to “another example” of “excuses” – which they are clearly not designed to be.
They are valid and relevant factors to be taken into consideration, and readers may consider them as they will.
And readers now familiar with the extreme contortions ‘Dan’ has deployed in order to wish-away the consequences and probabilities inherent-in and flowing-from his own claims about his numerous and serious misadventures may consider (perhaps with some popcorn) this huffy and pearl-clutching declamation about Yes-Yes and No-No.
And – as always – his bits are predicated completely upon the presumption that “victims” were genuine and their stories and claims accurate and veracious. Which – I think it is now clear – is at the least dubious and at the most highly improbable and implausible, sufficiently so that to start up such a Tribunal is simply going to re-create the Stampede (which is now in dire need of some re-creation).
The cartoon bit about “unchecked” is some extra-factual lard that ‘Dan’ layers on for rhetorical effect and in order to bolster his cartoon.
And the tea-leaf reading to the effect that the Pope had “no intentions of keeping his” plan or promise ditto. It was ill-advised to make so hasty a statement without giving it full consideration and it is fortunate that he re-considered all the elements and aspects of the proposed Tribunal.
Excuses and more excuses. You even make excuses for your excuses, "which they are clearly not designed to be." You are the fashion designer of excuses. Hilarious!
Your excuses are as "valid and relevant" as your lies.
I would like to comment on your continuous disrespect for God's word, "…(perhaps with some popcorn) this huffy and pearl-clutching declamation about Yes-Yes and No-No." Along with your obsession towards "cartoons", I get the impression that you take God's word and the sins of your church as some joke. Along with this, I'll include a response to your blatant accusations that I rant and use the Lord's word as a weapon, and what the Lord says in response to these claims.
"…but let him who has my word speak my word in truth"…Is not my word like fire?" declares the LORD, "and like a hammer which shatters a rock? Jerimiah 23:28-29
"We tear down arguments, and every presumption set up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." 2 Cor 10:5
"For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart." Hebrews 4:12
Readers may now consider the right way to use the Lord's word. When false prophets or teachers tell you all is well, and make excuses for their horrific sins, it's up to you to distinguish between who is on the side of truth and who are the hypocrite liars.
‘Kris’ – as I had surmised – hasn’t actually moved on to other recreations. He returns on the 9th at 127AM and apparently plans to keep tossing up drive-by bits without – as he said – ever having to feel the need to explain or defend his stuff. Readers may consider his material – and him – as they will.
On the 9th at 520PM JR opens – as so often – with a “Yawn!” and then borrows that “blah blah” bit from “Kris” (who may have borrowed it from him to begin-with, but one never knows since Abuseniks seem to share some of the same strategies and tics).
That being done, JR then proceeds to riff on a different subject (no doubt needing to change the subject anyway): he riffs in speculation as to the readership here.
And all we get of any possible interest are a couple of rhetorical bits (the alliteration of the ‘v’ and the play on the ‘P’ and the play on “tits” and “wits” – all very yuk-yuk but irrelevant).
And – for lack of anything better – JR then tosses up his old chestnut about “Why is this site here?”. ‘To explore and assess the Catholic Abuse Matter’ would – yet again – do nicely as an answer to that question but that isn’t really what JR is after here.
And given what we’ve seen about how his own story didn’t really live up to its own claims and expectations, then it’s anybody’s guess how JR can soberly claim that the site only “pretend[s] there’s a need for it”. But, again, we are supposed to ‘believe’ but aren’t supposed to assess or question.
And why he deliberately intended to say “where am they?” is just another of JR’s tics that any reader so inclined can try to suss out.
Continuing with my comment on JR’s of the 9th at 520PM:
He plaints about whether there actually is “a natural matrix of concerned Catholics” (wow, now that’s a rather attention-getting phrase, especially considering the source here). And where, for that matter, are they myriads of still-unreported allegants to which JR so often alludes?
But I would say that in this current crop of Abusenik comments we see again that the Stampede was never intended to be questioned or assessed; it was to be ‘believed’ and nobody was supposed to have the insensitive temerity to question and assess the various claims, stories, accusations, assertions and so on.
And ‘Dan’s bits differ in this regard only to the extent that ‘Dan’ is so far gone around the bend that he (or He) cawn’t possibly see how anyone can not-see what he (or He) sees as clear as day.
And on the 9th a few minutes later at 532PM JR will pronounce and declaim that I “can’t write as well as [he does]”.
Readers may consider his accuracy and veracity as they will, but it seems that he had glommed onto a new epithet (“pedestrian”) and needed to construct some sort of platform that would enable him to deploy it as a zingy conclusion.
More games within the Stampede’s larger Game.
Again, blah, blah, blah
Let the two to five readers of this blog consider my comments and decide for themselves. Have a nice day.
Here is a fact: The Catholic Church knowingly harbors and protects sexual predators. Look at the evidence. So what if "TMR" serves as nothing more than an apologist for the Catholic Church's sex crimes and cover ups. That does not change the facts. Oh, we get it..well look at what they are doing? LOL…that is coming from the Catholic Church who claims to be to ultimate power and authority with ultimate morals on this planet. Well, somel now know that that bogus claim is not true. Have a nice day Mafia. LOL
Bring on the next "Big issue" Dave. This house done burned down. All that's left is the smoke.
P,(for brains) asks where are the allegants?
Why they've been told they can't seek damages. Usually told this by Jeff Anderson or SNAP. I know I was told this by both of them in 1992.
We in Calif. got "fair" settlements but people in other states can't sue at all. If you can't receive any reparations for what is, arguably, the worst event in your life. Why on earth would you want to think about it at all or ever again? No help. No healing. No compensation for the damage done.Just trouble and pain. Victims stick it back in storage and limp on in their damaged lives. Knowing they've been cheated again by the "one true church" God put on this earth.
What a sick, sad joke you are. You are shameless.
On the 10th at 709PM ‘Dan’ will merely try to wish-away my points with epithet, and the lards on the assertion (without demonstration, of course) that “Gov’t does nothing to seek justice” and neither does the Pope (now demoted, in the cartoon, from being leader of the US government and courts).
Beyond those bits, ‘Dan’ – and the herd in his (or His) bathroom mirror – do declare and proclaim (rather conveniently and self-servingly) that “no comment necessary”.
And that’s all, folks.
And on the 11th at 645PM he apparently remembers that he hasn’t used his favorite term – “lies” – and he lards that on as well.
On then to the 11th at 719PM where ‘Dan’ now buckles down to my “continuous disrespect for God’s Word”.
As always, I take issue not with Scripture but with ‘Dan’s attempts to use it to support his personal cartoon (which, we recall, both a) semi-divinizes himself (or Himself) while b) taking aim at anyone or anything else not appreciative of his cartoon).
Thus ‘Dan’’s “impression” remains for whatever readers care to make of it.
And he doth promise to “include a response” – but actually it’s just more Scriptural pericopes from his rolodex of pericopes, designed to imply that what God says and what ‘Dan’ says are pretty much the same thing (coming as they do, according to the cartoon, from the same source and Source).
And – just to make sure – then reminds readers that his (or His) is “the right way to use the Lord’s word”.
Readers are welcome to “now consider”, as I hope they always do.
No need for me to respond to peewee's 'Cartoon' Time, but a God-gram has come for you.
"With the Lord's faith, we can face demons of any kind. He puts them in our lives so we will fight for the right to believe in Him, because we are the Lord's children. They will slander those who love Him. We have the love of the Lord in our hearts. We have His trust for guidance. The world has no remorse. Without the love of the Lord there would not be life. He is the Creator. He will decide the fate of the demons. He will deliver us from evil." The Divine Servant
‘Kris’ returns – the 10th at 1139PM – with more juvenilia.
And clearly appears to mistake ‘readers’ and ‘commenters’, in his effort to wish-away this site as having only the “two to five” who comment here.
Again, we are given the opportunity to consider the quality of the mentation we have seen demonstrated by Abusenik commenters … and thus to consider just what types were invited from the get-go to proffer their stuff to the Stampede.
‘Kris’ returns on the 11th at 1228AM:
He will declare and deliver “a fact”. And what might that “fact” be?
That “the Catholic Church knowingly harbors and protects sexual predators”.
And before one can begin to point out the problems with that “fact”, ‘Kris’ then enticingly instructs us to “look at the evidence” – and suddenly one is excited by the prospect that ‘Kris’ will proffer some.
But … no, he just leaves the “evidence” bit hanging there and quickly moves on to epithet.
What he’s going for, of course, is the old Playbook gambit: once all the stories and claims and ‘reports’ have been injected into the atmosphere, then ‘everyone knows’ so there’s no need to actually look at any “evidence” at all. Indeed, to do so would merely be ‘insensitive’ and ‘re-victimizing’.
But we have had a chance to look at “evidence” over the course of time here, much of it proffered by Abuseniks themselves, and the stuff turns out not to have been so ‘evidentiary’ at all.
You want evidence – Fr. Oliver o'Grady, Fr. Marcial Maciel, Fr. Lawrence Murphy, just to name a very few. Maybe you should try a wiki search on "Roman Catholic sex abuse cases by country", and get your head out of the sand. We're not buying your ignorance or stupidity.
Continuing with my comment on ‘Kris’s of the 11th at 1228AM:
And we get a re-run of the old Abusenik bit that TMR is merely “nothing more than an apologist for the Catholic Church’s sex crimes and cover ups”.
No quotations, of course, that demonstrate where TMR is attempting to be an “apologist” – and that’s as it should be, since there is no such material that he could quote.
As far as I can see, this site looks at the claims and allegations and ‘reporting’ and other aspects of the Catholic Abuse Matter and points out what the Abuseniks don’t want anyone to see or to think about.
And – again from the Playbook – he tries to cap it all off and close it all off by claiming to “know” persons who actually “know” that the “bogus claim” of the Church is not true. Leading one to quickly wonder i) does he actually “know” anybody and b) does that “anybody” actually “know” the Church’s status to be “bogus” … ?
Once again, Abusenik “evidence” turns out to be a hall of mirrors.
And thus on to the juvenile conclusion with the Mafia bit and the nice-day bit.
On then to JR’s of the 11th at 1PM:
An epithetical opening, as usual.
His response to my question (as to where the myriad un-reported claims and allegants might be) is that those myriads have – he doth assure us and we can take his word for it – have “been told they can’t seek damages”. Thus – neatly – that the Statutes of Limitation are keeping the myriads quiet.
Or – I would say – perhaps there just aren’t any out there.
Or torties might now be telling such prospective check-collectors that the Moment has passed and any claims and stories they might wish to lodge now run the risk of being looked-at more closely than was ever the case in the salad days of the Stampede.
Continuing with my comment on JR’s of the 11th at 1PM:
JR then claims that he was told something like this by no less a personage than Jeff Anderson and some SNAP functionaries way back in 1992. Is this bit at all credible in light of the history of the Stampede? Anderson had already laid the groundwork for SNAP fronting for the torties in the late ‘80s. And surely JR got his swag in 2006 or 2007 as a result of the monster 500-plus plaintiff case in LA.
Perhaps JR was told – perhaps even by Anderson himself in 1992 – that his own story and claim was pretty thin.
But then after 2002 things got better in that regard and things went on to that 2006 case. When by that era, as we know, one could collect a million for claiming that one’s hand was stuck down the pants of a Brother-teacher.
Continuing with my comment on JR’s of the 11th at 1PM:
But this bit then leads into another commercial for JR himself: it was fortunate that “we in California” did get “fair” settlements, and readers may consider that as they may.
And he then demonstrates his lack of legal chops by claiming that “people in other states can’t sue at all” – which, even if it were true (other States have opened up their SOLs, although – as I have noted – only verrrry selectively so as to avoid subjecting public entities and the public treasury being turned into a piñata for the Stampede), doesn’t seem to have resulted in fresh myriads of fresh allegations.
Then a further sly rhetorical reference to the checks as “reparations”.
Continuing with my comment on JR’s of the 11th at 1PM:
Then a stab at trying to explain-away the lack of fresh allegations: if you had undergone such an (alleged) experience, and you knew you couldn’t get any cash for it, then why would you bother to “think about it at all or ever again?”. (As so often with JR, it’s all about the money.)
Reminding readers of nothing so much as the fact that in actual PTSD treatment, the patients don’t claim that they can’t remember, but that they can’t forget, no matter how hard they might try. What we are seeing here from JR is merely an echo of the old ‘repressed memory’ theory, this time bolstered (and tainted, I would say) by deliberate and conscious concern for money.
Continuing with my comment on JR’s of the 11th at 1PM:
And the pearl-clutching stab at sympathy with the bit about “limp[ing] on in their damaged lives”. Reminding one and all that there always remains the vivid and vital question: did the alleged abuse cause the damaged life, or did the already damaged life (and self) take advantage of the Stampede to cash in … ?
And – given JR’s own performance here and the results of his years-long claim about ‘rape’, he can take his concluding epithetical riff and deliver it to his bathroom mirror. If he has the courage to do so.
Yawn. So, if Elizabeth Loftus is run over by a truck (just one of many examples), loses a couple of limbs or a few brain cells to say the least…wakes up without limbs to surgeons explaining how she was found yet she doesn't remember being run over by a truck due to brain damage, she can't remember??? Uh, ya get the point? LOL Not funny when ignorant folks think that all trauma can be remembered. Yeap…it sure can take alot of time recovering from a coma so to speak to file a police report or even recover in a hospital for that matter from severe trauma like rape….. Have a nice day Loftus. Ya missed the point.
….P.S….and that is how PTSD can affect those who have been severely traumatized. The Roman Catholic Church does, can and has done more damage than an 18 wheel truck intentionally running over innocent people, imo. Oh, and I strongly suspect that the RCC (my spelling the roman catholic church with capital letters is not a compliment, btw) feels real big about their worldwide organized crimes and cover-ups since it is so polictically well connected.
….that is just a very small example of how the Catholic Church in its worldwide organized crime and cover ups dwarfs and laughs at the mafia. The mafia was just a distraction. Call me crazy if it makes some of your readers feel better. Just guess who will rape and rip your body parts apart first….a pizza palor?…or the Catholic Church? I suspect the RCC has proven it is totally into human trafficking and…uh…high crimes. The FBI, for example, just doesn't want to face that fact, imo. They gotta deal with the RCC to the detriment of public safety. Oh, and god bless you. LOL
Arguing with an evil moron like P is worthless. But like the fool I am here I go again.
Yes, P seeking compensation is all about money. What else have you got to give? Cheap, free prayers perhaps? Prayers always work. Don't they? Not one authenticated cure at Lourdes for example. Yet tens of thousands of hotel rooms in Lourdes bring in the cash, century after century.
Why don't you show us an example of your magical prayer cures? Show us an uncompensated victim of priest sex abuse healed by your money saving answer to everything: prayer. (LMFAO!)
Money equals compensation for crimes committed and damages done. When a victim in one state is told they can not sue when suing is their only chance at compensation, what are they to do? (Since the church neither seeks victims out nor compensates victims who come forward on their own)
What happens inside to a victim when she/he sees in another state victims have been compensated? How are they to feel? How would the readership feel if they were a real victim who hadn't the chance to seek just damages?
I realize that posting anything here brings an avalanche of crap posts from P. If the opposition to the lies here don't post, P disappears.
Why should I bother? Maybe, getting P to disappear might be the best I can do.
On the 14th at 1235AM – which should come as a surprise to nobody familiar with ‘Dan’s games – he doth declare that a) “there is no need [for him] to respond” to the points I made … but also that b) he just happens to have received a God-gram “for” me (actually he whomped it up himself, no doubt the result of some serious pot-stirring in the precincts of his bathroom mirror).
One might picture it: “The Divine Servant” toiling and stirring, the pot between his ears bubbling, and then – voila! – the God-gram retrieved from the moosh, to the approving oohs and ahhs of the herd resident in the said mirror.
The Stampede may well continue to exist – in whatever desiccated form – for as long as derangement exists.
Thanks for the compliment, but the prophecy came courtesy of my friend. Bother you a bit that the Lord has you pegged as a "slander[ing] demon." Don't you think if I was to make up a prophecy to describe you, it would contain a few more adjectives, ignorant being the first to come to mind. And your narcissistic personality disorder would have everyone believe that anyone who questions your ignorance and can back it up with quotations from Scripture, has to be deranged. Oh! Yes! And all the tons of allegations are just that, only allegations, when pedophile priests and perverts of your cult, actually admitted guilt, died or beat the charges claiming SOL, or victims were secretly paid hush money for the good of the cult. You are one disingenuous creep. Get your head out of the sand, or we truly will believe that you're just plain stupid. Thankfully, "He will deliver us from [your] evil." servant
P.S. "The Divine Servant", would be referring to Jesus Christ, so you might want to withhold your mocking, as difficult as that is for you.
That bit of flummery having been accomplished, ‘Dan’ (the 14th at 117AM) doffs the Wig of Divine Knowledge, exits the bathroom, and heads for his desk (or kitchen table) where he dons the Wig of Evidentiary Plenitude:
He provides three names … but – as should come as a surprise to nobody familiar with the Stampede Playbook – then quickly adds “just to name a few”.
But actually, how many “names” are there really, about which i) one can definitively declaim that they are guilty of abuse (ii – however that supremely elastic term is defined) … ?
This is a core and abiding question – Question, even – in the whole Matter.
Continuing with my comment on ‘Dan’s of the 14th at 117AM:
One might be able to name some names that fit the parameters of (ii) and (iii), but not very many.
And surely, the examples of abuse-jurisprudence and cases, civil and/or criminal, that we have seen (the Lynn case being only the most recent) – taken in conjunction with the many distorting elements of the Stampede so often noted here – provide compelling substance to ground some serious doubts as to the Stampede scare-visions of a Church chock full of pedophiliac and/or abusive priests operating on the basis of an age-old fundamental Church objective of institutionalizing such abuse in an ongoing, centuries or millennia-long sexual racketeering enterprise.
"[A] Church chock full of pedophiliac and/or abusive priests operating on the basis of an age-old fundamental Church objective of institutionalizing such abuse in an ongoing, centuries or millennia-long sexual racketeering enterprise.
That has to be, without doubt, your best assessment and analysis of your catholic cult and it's modus operandi, I have ever heard. Did peewee have some help defining it so well? servant
And don't forget one of your (sick) corrections because I forgot the quotation marks at the end of your sentence, Mr. Obnoxious.
Continuing with my comment on ‘Dan’s of the 14th at 117AM:
But it has been a basic trick of the Stampede (still obvious in assorted Abusenik comments on this site) that – having flooded the public imagination with scare-visions – then the enterprising Abuseniks and advocates can simply presume and depend-upon the sly claim that ‘everybody knows’ (so, of course, they don’t have to provide any serious evidence nor – crucially – allow any careful assessment).
That’s how the Game is played and has been played. And it feeds – conveniently – into a number of agendas, whether of outright Abuseniks or of more general and ‘theological’ specimens such as ‘Dan’.
Continuing with my comment on ‘Dan’s of the 14th at 117AM:
As a further example of which ‘Dan’s concluding appeal to Wiki counts of “Roman Catholic sex abuse cases by country” simply demonstrates my points. Anybody can make an allegation and have it become a “case”; the question is whether such a ‘case’ (more properly, ‘allegation’) is veracious and accurate and sustained by actual persuasive evidence.
And readers may note how – slyly – ‘Dan’ tries to sidestep and evade the actual precipitous fall-off in US allegations by trying to appeal to the entire (at least, Western-influenced) world for a quantitatively-satisfying list of “cases”.
On then to the comments by ‘Kris’, starting here with his of the 14th at 401PM:
He opens – revealingly – with the juvenile “Yawn” bit.
He then proceeds – revealingly – to demonstrate his lack of chops (and perhaps integrity) as an assessor and as a psychologically-informed individual: he slyly tries to conflate the usual ‘repressed memory’ scam type of case with one in which “Elizabeth Loftus” (a psychologist and professor and writer noted for her debunking of ‘repressed memory’, slyly enough) sustains “brain damage” in a massively traumatic motor vehicle accident.
But that hardly works here. In the Loftus example, there is massive physical trauma to the brain itself, the mechanism of injury being that she was just run over by a truck.
But in the usual ‘repressed memory’ case as deployed in the assorted sex-abuse gambits, there is no such clear and massive and actually physical mechanism of injury and thus also no such clear and physically ascertainable elements of traumatic “brain damage”.
And instead, there is simply the (alleged) experience of (some level of) sexual abuse. Which can hardly be postulated as causing massive and traumatic physical “brain damage”.
And thus we are right back to square one and the hall of mirrors that abides at the heart of so many of such gambits.
Continuing with my comment on ‘Kris’s comment of the 14th at 401PM:
He then essays a knowing (though juvenile) hoot to the effect that “ignorant folks think that all trauma can be remembered”.
Once the childhood period prior to the development of the memory capability itself is essentially completed, then it becomes highly and profoundly problematic to demonstrate that genuinely traumatic experiences cannot be remembered.
(We went over this at great length quite a while ago in comments here, discussing the problems with ‘repressed memory’ theory. Readers may use the Wiki entry for ‘Repressed Memory Theory’ in order to get a general overview of the state of the question, or consult more scholarly work (including that by Loftus) as they may wish.)
Continuing with my comment on ‘Kris’s comment of the 14th at 401PM:
And, as I noted in a prior comment on this thread, the PTSD template was formulated precisely to address the problem that sufferers could not forget their experience, not that they could not remember their experience.
Thus too then, the example of the “coma” fails here, since that brain state is effectively a variant of the first conflated example, i.e. of one having suffered massive physical brain trauma and damage.
And thus too ‘Kris’s sly and immediate equation of “rape” with “severe trauma” (to the brain) fails vividly, if not also spectacularly. And I would add that few if any allegations in the Catholic Abuse Matter rise to the level of genuine and actual “rape”.
And so – as should come as a surprise to few if any – it becomes clear just who has “missed the point” here, or – quite possibly – who has tried to fudge and confuse the point.
Thus, then, ‘Kris’s further riffing on his (grossly problematic) “point” in the comment of the 14th at 443PM also fails.
And readers can further consider his further riffing of the 14th at 633PM as well, where the whole bit begins to descend into a rant, concluded – revealingly – by his assorted signature bits of snark.
On then to JR’s of the 15th at 1017AM:
After opening with – had you been waitttttinggggg forrrr ittttttttt? – epithet, JR once again dons the Wig of Hurt Decency and indulges – as he so often likes to do – in a simultaneous self-pitying and self-aggrandizing bleat-y rumination as to how he is victimized, this time by being bethump’t by my material, in response to which bethumpery he will simply soldier-on with his lonely (but oh-so heroic) endeavors and agenda.
(And, demonstrating the same neatly self-serving dynamic as we see in ‘Dan’s derangement, JR has arranged his blocks neatly here so that the more he is considered rather outré – to put it nicely – then the more that simply proves him to be right and truthy and very clever.)
Continuing with my comment on JR’s of the 15th at 1017AM:
In his second paragraph, in an effort to extricate himself from having demonstrated that he is all about the money, JR will now try to proffer the proposition that it actually is all about the money.
But he quickly then tries to move everyone beyond giving that revelation about himself any further thought, and heads for … Lourdes. And readers may consider that riff as they will.
Lourdes has quite a few carefully assessed and scientifically certified miracles in its record; the only ‘miracle’ in JR’s case is that he got a million dollars for (allegedly) having his hand stuck down a teacher’s pants.
And there was an extended discussion on Lourdes quite a while ago on this site. Thus JR’s assertion that there is “not one authenticated cure at Lourdes” is utterly untrue.

Readers so inclined can consult the above site and if they desire extend their researches from there.
Continuing with my comment on JR’s of the 15th at 1017AM:
In his next paragraph, JR – as so often – loses control of his thought process as he rants and vents. He would be well-advised to do less LMFAO-ing and more studying, but that is not – and perhaps never has been – how he rolls. As is also the case with ‘Kris’ and his LOL-ing and rolling around the floor.
“Money” may be a form of “compensation”, but in life there are many forms and types of compensations, among which money does not rank as the highest (except to certain types). It is revealing here that JR asserts that “money equals compensation”.
And, but of course and as always, even on his own terms here JR’s bit fails, since we haven’t at all established the “crimes committed” and – surely – “the damages done”. But we’ve been all over that before many many times.
And the bit about the Church not seeking victims out fails in the veracity department since there are 800-numbers and policies in place for precisely those persons who wish to come forward with claims.
Continuing with my comment on JR’s of the 15th at 1017AM:
JR then tries to essay an exploration into the psychology of a “victim when she/he sees in another state victims have been compensated”.
Are we to presume then that all the victims in – say – California have already been – as it were – “compensated”?
And, but of course, his whole bit is predicated slyly upon the presumption of a “real victim”, i.e. a genuine victim. But that has been and remains one of the most profound of the questions and problems with the Stampede from the get-go, has it not?
(For the solution of which the Victimist Playbook merely demands that one accept every claim and allegation as a full, veracious and true ‘report’ and avoid any insensitive and un-Christian re-victimizing by asking any further questions.)
Continuing with my comment on JR’s of the 15th at 1017AM:
And JR then tries to conclude by dismissing any of my comments as merely being “crap material”, followed by yet another derailment into the nonsensical with his bit about my ‘disappearing’.
And as he heads for the wings, JR doth again clutch the pearls and declaim as to why he should “bother” at all to put up his stuff.
And thus is the method (as it were) to JR’s madness (quite accurate) revealed: he will continue on his lonely but heroic quest to ‘get’ me to “disappear”. If that’s the best he can do, then he will have to learn to live with disappointment. And yet we all know now just what happens when JR doesn’t get what he wants … he doesn’t do disappointment well at all.
If I disappear P disappears. If Dan and Kris goes P goes.
Why anyone would think religion has anything to do with being good or seeking justice or finding truth?
P is what religion is all about: denigration and vicious low I.Q'd bitchery passing itself off as superiority and morality. LMFAO!
See ya later….maybe. LOL I'll wait and see what the legislators, judges and legal justice system decides. Clearly and sadly, that is a little too little too late, imo.
As so often, describing a derangement pales next to an actual vivid example of derangement.
On the 17th at 411AM ‘Dan’ will attempt to burnish his ‘god-gram’ bit by insisting – had you been waitttingggg forrrr ittttt? – that he cawn’t really take credit for whomping up the text of his most recent god-gram because – doncha see? – “Jesus Christ” and/or “the Lord” wrote it.
So there it is.
Whether God or Jesus actually typed up the comment, and what role ‘Dan’s mind – such as it may be – played in the composition … well, why quibble over details when we have here a piece of mail direct from … the denizens of ‘Dan’s bathroom mirror?
Continuing with my comment on ‘Dan’s of the 17th at 411AM:
And, as always, ‘Dan’ selects only those bits that contribute to his cartoon. But his derangement is not evidenced by his questions (to the extent he asks any well-formulated questions in the first place) nor by his quotations from Scripture.
Rather, his derangement is evidenced by a) his identification of himself (or Himself) with the Mind and Will of God; b) buttressed as we have just seen here by his claims – and, more importantly, belief – that what he writes is the very Word of God; c) his obsessive focus on children and sexual perversities as he claims they are vividly evidenced in the Church while his own actions and words in regard to children are (as “hundreds” of persons as well as police and judges have realized) cause for all sorts of serious concerns; d) in order to evade all of which he simply dismisses all such concerns as being merely “lies” and “slander” and so on.
And such are the types that have found the Stampede so congenial a nest.
First, my well-formulated question - a) You're under the impression, that your best 'evidence' of one's 'derangement' is a Christian "with the Mind and Will of God?" Scriptural answer – "The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone's judgement. [ESPECIALLY YOURS] For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to instruct Him? But we have the MIND OF CHRIST." 1 Cor 2:15-16 So much for your poor "theology". b) I informed you that I did not write that one. You have to make an effort to pay more attention. c) "his obsessive focus on children and sexual perversities as he claims they are vividly evidenced in the church are cause for all sorts of serious concerns." If your clan wasn't so plagued with perverts and pedophiles, then I would have absolutely nothing to point out. d) Your added "lies" and "slander" is also evidence that you're one of the many "hundreds" of blatant, hypocrital liars in your cult. You're one disingenuous, mocking snake, and a prime example of a deceivingly, good catholic. servant of God, with the mind of Christ
On then to JR’s of the 17th at 113PM:
Here, JR will attempt to explain the wisdom behind his recent riff-rant on ‘disappear’: JR doth announce and predict that if he and the other Abuseniks disappear, then I will disappear.
I’ve put up a number of comments that were not prompted by any specific Abusenik stuff; I could put up more, but there’s only so much time in the day and the Abusenik material provides such a rich and useful lode that needs to be mined.
Then – apropros of nothing that appears on the table – JR will riff on about “why anyone would think” and so forth.
But the method (such as it is) in the madness here is that it platforms yet another run of epithet by JR, this time about my “low IQ” and so forth.
Of course, any reader so inclined is welcome to turn to JR for something in the “superiority” and “morality” line. Although I would say that one would have to have a very superior IQ indeed to find the “morality” in JR’s stuff and performance here.
