The culture of pedophilia at Mater Dei High School has hit the big time. Today, The New York Times examines the rash of non-clerical sex-abuse cases involving the Catholic Church. Mentioned in the second paragraph was Joelle Casteix, a longtime advocate for sex-abuse survivors who was herself a vict ... More >>
The Los Angeles Times is rightfully concentrating on LA-area victims in its coverage of the LA Archdiocese's record-breaking Catholic Church sex-abuse settlement. What's not being covered, however, is the Orange County connection. Named in the settlement are 14 priests whom the Diocese of Orange doe ... More >>
Here's John Manly, the Newport Beach lawyer who represented four sex-abuse victims of employees with the Orange diocese, on the $6.885 million settlement announced this afternoon: Today, Bishop Tod Brown and the Diocese of Orange agreed, at the point of a legal gun and on the eve of trial, to settl ...

Isn't the anonymous sap taking a beating over his defense of Diocese of Orange statutory rapists but another anonymous coward: ocman18, one of the Orange County Register's many nuts. Yesterday, ocman18 left a cryptic remark on a tragic story involving a Korean woman who was mugged by some Latina pen ... More >>
Hey, kids! Your favorite pedophile-tolerating, victim-ignoring, down-breaking Monsignor is back! Well, he may not be YOUR favorite. He's certainly Matt Cunningham's favorite. The Diocese of Orange announced this week that Msgr. John Urell is expected to return as pastor of St. Norbert Church in Ora ... More >>
It's still to be seen what exactly will KOCE-TV Channel 50's much-hyped documentary about Orange County Catholic life will contain (how much you wanna bet not a peep about the pedophile priests that terrorized county parishes for a quarter century?), but the Weekly can report that most of its princi ...

Apologies for the redundant title, but it's true, especially in light of the Diocese of Orange leader's decision to tell his fellow Bishop, Geoffrey Robinson, to stay away from the county. A bit of background: Robinson is the former Bishop of Sydney who resigned his position after publicly criticiz ... More >>
Congratulations are in order to the Orange County chapter of Voice of the Faithful (OCVOTF), a Catholic laity organization. Yesterday, we reported how Diocese of Orange Bishop Tod D.

Mexicans! Yesterday, Orange County Superior Court Judge Lance Jensen sentenced Luis Eduardo Ramirez, an Augustinian who was serving at Our Lady of the Pillar Catholic Church in SanTana, to 180 days in jail for attempting to molest a 17-year-old boy in an Anaheim motel. Ramirez plead guilty to takin ... More >>
In a county where ostentatious pomp and circumstance is the rule of the day, few events are more despicable than the Red Mass, an annual event held by the Diocese of Orange where Bishop Tod D. Brown virtually guarantees no prosecution for his pedo-priests by honoring the entire legal system--judges, ... More >>
Got a voicemail yesterday in Spanish from Diocese of Sacramento Bishop Jaime Soto urging us wabs to vote sí on Proposition 8 to protect the children, and I spit out the carnitas I was devouring from laughing so hard. Bishop Soto cares for children? The man who, while serving in his hometown Diocese ... More >>
This past Monday, a teacher's aide by the name of Alonso Manuel Gonzalez was arrested by SanTana police and released on bail. The Orange County Sheriff's website no longer lists why folks get thrown in the pokey, but the Orange County Superior Court website shows Gonzalez was arrested for a"lewd act ... More >>
After reading the rewritten press releases offered by the Los Angeles Times, Daily Pilot and Orange County Register on the appointment of the Diocese of Orange's latest pedo-priest-protecting bishop, Cirilo Flores, it's become clear that the worst casualty in Southern California's dying newspaper in ... More >>
One of my favorite channels is KOCE-TV Channel 50's OC Channel, available only on digital antennas (and have you changed your analog TV yet to satisfy the NWO?). It airs nothing but Orange County-related material--not just reruns of KOCE's Real Orange and Inside OC with Rick Reiff, but also weird in ... More >>
From a trusted source:"So I'm eating at [fancy restaurant] recently and am about to leave, when who do I see but John Urell! He's waiting outside with a bunch of priests. They're dressed super-fancy in suits, laughing, and seemingly ready to have a good time."I realize a lot of you foodies don't bot ... More >>
When I heard late that the United States Attorney's office is investigating Archdiocese of Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahony for his role in covering up the rapes committed by his priest, I attributed it to a hallucination brought on by last night's episode of Lost. But here's the Los Angeles Times ... More >>

Orange County Register: An Adventure City security guard shot and killed an Inland Empire man who'd roughed him up around 11 p.m. Tuesday, long after closing time. Ed Gomez, a 14-year employee of the Stanton amusement park, was taken to a hospital and treated for a gash on his head. . . . ... More >>
"If Urell really were a shepherd for his flock, they—and not himself—would have been his main concern."
'My combined Mexican-Guatemalan ancestry ranks me somewhere between a syphilitic Chihuahua and Hitlers missing left nut!'
How the Los Angeles archdiocese stretched, twisted and contorted to hide bad, bad priests in Orange County and how we learned to love it

From yesterday's ordination of pedo-priest-protector Cirilo Flores as the latest auxiliary bishop of the Diocese of Orange (of which we'll have more on Monday). Uttered by head Bishop Tod D. Brown, per the Orange County Register, a joke so hilarious it deserves bolding, italics, and underlining:"Bis ... More >>
Perhaps no one* has more moral weight in the Diocese of Orange sex-abuse scandal than Newport Beach lawyer John Manly, of Manly & Stewart. It's because of Manly's law offices that so many victims have found justice through civil courts, that the public knows about the pedo-protecting ways of Ora ... More >>
God has blessed me with few deaths in my immediate family--my paternal grandfather of a heart attack when I was four, my abuelito de my mom's side of old age, two cousins at a young age, and the passing away of my maternal grandmother last week at age 95. We buried her yesterday at Holy Sepulcher Ce ... More >>
John Urell, pastor to the powerful (see: Supervisor Bill Campbell, blog king Matt "Jubal" Cunningham), pedo-priest protector supreme, was the victim of a brilliant prank this past Sunday at St. Timothy in Laguna Niguel. Someone created the flyer above, which details at length Urell's role in the Dio ... More >>
Lyons mug shotBelieve it or not, I have a couple of friends who work for the Orange County Register. Won't name names lest they fall under corporate microscope, but I bet one of them that the District Attorney's Office would never criminally try Denis Lyons, the longtime Diocese of Orange pedo-pries ... More >>
A tipster alerted us to the video below, which shows priests from the Diocese of Orange at the desert retreat I wrote about in May. Nothing too scandalous to note, but full confirmation of my argument: Orange Bishop Tod D. Brown, despite a vow of fiscal sanity following his see's $100 million sex-ab ... More >>
SchildknechtFinally!

Kroll: Wonder if John Urell Ever Apologized to Her for Being an Ass...One of the main criticisms Catholic pedo-apologists have against the survivors that dare sue the Church in civil lawsuits boils down to this twisted logic: if the victims just care about exposing the truth, then why are they as ...

Sorry to say I don't know much about Saddleback College in Mission Viejo. I went there once with a cute Vietnamese girl in 2001 to hear Nobel Prize laureate Rigoberta Menchu speak, and I once asked South Orange County Community College District trustee and longtime GOP head Tom Fuentes about his ...

Photo by Jennie Warren--remember when we snuck into Mater Dei's ridiculous gym for this shot, Jennie?

Henry W. Head, founding father of OC, longtime Santa Ana doctor...I was speaking with a local GOP operative recently when he said something that shocked me.

To the right is Denis Lyons, a pedo-priest that has cost the Diocese of Orange quite a few bucks in cash and who keeps inspiring lawsuits against him because of his grubby hands way back when. Lyons was in Orange County Superior Court today, as he's awaiting arraignment on a criminal case involvi ... More >>
While the Orange County Register does the bidding of the Diocese of Orange by reporting without skepticism on their plans to push forward with the long-delayed Christ Our Savior Cathedral, we prefer the clandestine and thus present a photo of Orange Bishop Tod D. Brown being made to wait at Our L ... More >>
In 2009, a former student at Sst. Simon and Jude in Huntington Beach filed a lawsuit in Orange County Superior Court alleging he suffered molestations at the grubby hands of priests Gus Krumm (at right) and Alexander Manville. Krumm, of course, is a confirmed pedo-priest whom the Diocese of Orang ... More >>
The Diocese of Orange has done many stupid things over the years under the reign of Bishop Tod D. Brown--let's see...there was the half-million-dollar Covenant with the Faithful, the new mansion bought while closing down schools in Latino-heavy parishes, the construction of a new cathedral up the ...

Brownie: The Hour of No PowerRemember how I wrote this May that insiders with the Catholic Diocese of Orange were trying to convince Bishop Tod D. Brown to buy the financially ailing Crystal Cathedral so that His Excellency wouldn't have to waste over $100 million on a new cathedral? Because it'd ... More >>
