PippiLeak: Hospital for Sick Priests who are then sent out to parishes on weekends
.
Another document found during the Discovery process in lawsuits against the Catholic Church re pedophile priests known as the Clergy Cases in Southern California, 2003-2007, a 1956 news article in a Catholic publication in San Diego describes the religious order, part of a fund raising appeal: From first page:
“Via Coeli needs money. Their apostolate won’t let them go to the laity with their hand out for money ‘to rehabilitate fallen priests.’”
“All the members [priests who have joined Servants of the Paraclete as priests after being there as patients] are prepared to comfort guests at any hour, to drop everything to fill in.”
“'You are curious about our graduates,’ Father Gerald writes. ‘They fall into a number of categories [such as] the priest whose fall is rather Davidical in character.’”
In "Hospital for Sick Priests" page 2 Gerald Fitzgerald writes: “There is another class of men whose coming to us is the result of long continual deterioration… This type requires a longer period of spiritual rebuilding and oftentimes we must not only strive to rebuild the individual but the disillusioned confidence of former Superiors as well.
“If we fail- well, with proper authorization we try to find among those Bishops who combine a great need for priests with Christlike patience an opportunity for those priests to begin again.”
Fitzgerald writes: “There are many priests… apparently incapable, without moral relapse, of perseverance in a less protected environment.
“Invariably these men return to us and we are seeking now to establish mission centers where men of this charac---

‘-ter could be used in supervised home-based activity, go out for weekend work, temporary cover etc. We have one such house which is highly successful, some eight padres go out each Sunday.”
[CofA: Reading that gives me the chills, knowing now what those “padres” did on weekends.]

Next Servant of Paraclete Document here at PippiLeaks*: Letter about withdrawal from Tortola, remote island where SOTP once ran a retreat to house pedophile priests as far away from civilization as possible. Upon orders from "ecclesiastical superiors," Gerald Fitzgerald writes in this November 10, 1960, letter to the Bishop of Virgin Islands to begin the process of removing the priests back to New Mexico.We see that the founder of SOTP did not want to give up the island in the Caribbean that was being used to isolate pedophile priests, in the letter from Gerald Fitzgerald to Bishop Edward Happer of Our Lady or Perpetual Help in Brooklyn, NY, scanned here “re our foundation in your Diocese in the Virgin Islands.”
Before starting closing procedures in Tortola, Fitzgerald writes, “I thought it prudent to consult His Excellency, Archbishop Byrne (of Santa Fe) who soon expressed “his decision that we give up Tortola. This leaves me nothing else to do but to carry out the desires of my ecclesiastical superior and to ask Your Excellency to let me know how you would wish this withdrawal to be made.”
On Page 2 of this letter Fitzgerald holds several doors open to continue having the island run by Servants of the Paraclete even says:“Carrying out this request in this matter is possibly one of the hardest obediences which I have ever been called upon to execute.”
Next quote brings up a “Huh?” from city of angels lady as she reads:
“In doing so” (bringing pedophiles back to the mainland States), “I can find consolation only by echoing the words of our Divine Master: ‘Father not my will but Thine be done.’”
So Father Fitzgerald felt that returning pedophiles to the mainland made him as much a martyr as Christ? Or was as evil as killing Christ?
Hmm.

He wants to put convicted child molesters on an island off the Coast of Santa Barbara, and the idea has created a buzz in the crowded election for Governor of California.
The Orange County Republican is not the first one to get the idea. Leader of Catholic religious order Servants of the Paracletes concluded, after a decade or so of dealing with priests who went after children, that putting pedophiles off on an island was the best way to deal with them.
“9. Father Gerald thought that such priests -- meaning priests attracted to male children, teenagers -- should be completely segregated from society, and consequently wanted a remote ‘island refuge’ far from civilization and a monastery would be established and such men could live and try to save their souls."Click here to read the entire post with scanned documents at City of Angels 4, where we were posting in 2008.
