@Jane58 I have contacted her and asked if it is OK for you to post the SNAP letter to Bishop Cullen It proves the claims against Rev. Thomas J. Benestad. That is what @Millennial Falcon was requesting. Proof of other claims. You can re post it with that information along with the tunnel links. If you do re post then also add the link for this thread too so people can see her comments.
@Janet58 and @StcharlesSeminary you probably have all of these already, but here are some links regarding children sexually abused either at St. Charles Seminary or elsewhere by people associated with St. Charles.
One man said Gana* abused him numerous times in 1973 when he was about 11 years old and a parishioner at St. Leo Church parish in Northeast Philadelphia. He said the attacks occurred at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary, where the priest would take him to play basketball and swim. Later, he said, they would shower together and the priest would assault him.
*Apparently a typo which should read Trauger
MATTHEW J. KORNACKI
Ordained: 1973
Allegations: Kornacki, 57, pleaded guilty last year in federal court in Philadelphia to possession of child pornography.
Federal agents found 150 pornographic images on his personal laptop computer, seized by Secret Service agents during a search at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary.
JOHN J. DELLI CARPINI
Ordained: 1976.
Allegations: In an interview with The Inquirer, a Philadelphia man said Delli Carpini abused him, beginning when he was 13 years old and continuing until he was 20. The man, now 41, said he met Delli Carpini when he served as an altar boy at St. Luke the Evangelist parish in Glenside in the late 1970s.
Delli Carpini taught at Philadelphia's Roman Catholic High School in the 1980s and later served as a dean at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary.
Defendant Fr. Ayers arrived at Incarnation of Our Lord Parish in 1996, and from approximately 1996 through 1999; while attending St. Charles Borromeo Seminary and while he was assigned to work at the parish, Defendant Fr. Ayers sexually abused the Plaintiff at the rectory of Incarnation of Our Lord Parish (in Defendant Fr. Ayers’ room) and in the church itself, as well as at other churches within the Archdiocese where Defendant Fr. Ayers was also assigned and serving at that time.
