@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.
In another case, a former seminary student from New Jersey has launched a sexual-harassment lawsuit against the St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Wynnewood, Pa.
Christopher McKelvey, 39, said persistent lewd comments and homosexual propositions forced him to abandon his dream of becoming a priest.
“When seminary instruction is sexualized, there is a defect in the system,” said McKelvey’s lawyer, Stephen Rubino. “What we see today is the church having to confront the problem.”
According to the current complaint, McKelvey attended St.Charles Borromeo Seminary in Wynnewood, Pa. The lawsuit claims the diocese and its priests "fostered, tolerated, permitted and encouraged inappropriate sexual conduct" in which McKelvey faced frequent exposure to "homosexual and other deviant discussions and or contact."
The suit also claims McKelvey complained to Frs. John T. Frey and William Brennan, but neither offered their help. The suit is expected to have as many as 10 other complainants added.
In order to re post this MF wants proof of other accusations or claims of abuse. I don't know if he will accept these, or if they must specifically name Benestad. I have a letter but it contains her name and we do not want to post that. It is an invasion of her privacy. @Janet58@Stcharlesseminary
I think MF meant abuse claims against anyone at St. Charles, but you can ask. Also I just wanted to provide background info on other crimes committed at St. Charles Seminary, abusers connected to St. Charles, etc.
YES! I agree that we should post about other abuse at St. Charles Seminary. It proves what Evil Lurks in that place. When there are so many other claims in one Catholic Institution then it should be outed. They have gone far too long under the radar. Thanks for all your work!
