Oh God. I remember researching The St. John Vianney Center in Missouri and it was called Club Med. It was like a retirement hotel for priests and they could watch porn on the internet, they knew how to circumvent the set up.
Yes--Club "Ped," actually. Here's a two-part report from KSDK news in St. Louis from BishopAccountability.org because KSDK has since scrubbed the piece:
Ah, I remember it well. There was an interview with a housekeeper that left there and said that they used to receive mags or papers in brown wrappers. Hmm.
Did you read Msgr.Byrne's blog? He mentions "bishops' own National Review Board, Cardinal Avery Dulles, SJ " !!!! who just happened to be the son of John Foster Dulles, the future U.S. Secretary of State (for whom Washington Dulles International Airport is named), and Janet Pomeroy Dulles. His uncle was Director of Central Intelligence Allen Welsh Dulles."!!!!
So Cardinal Dulles son of Secty of State John Foster Dulles and nephew to CIA director Allan Dulles just happens to convert to Catholicism and without ever becoming a bishop, hop scotches to Cardinal!! Connections are everything.
