0:14
Let's be frank. We don't
0:16
know the truth. We can only
0:18
assemble the opinions and firsthand accounts
0:21
of the priests, parishioners, and police
0:23
who were willing to talk. But
0:25
at this point in the investigation, we
0:27
have talked to priests, parishioners, and
0:30
policemen on both sides of the metaphorical
0:32
aisle. And time and time
0:34
again. It seems that those
0:38
who have lived with accepting what the death
0:40
certificate reads, are misinformed.
0:44
We are hoping father Joe's friends who
0:46
took their colleague in the medical examiner's
0:49
office who are in the precincts word
0:51
for it. We'll listen to this podcast
0:53
and consider the odds and
0:56
reexamine their ID of the truth. Rachel
1:13
and I are not from Buffalo. In
1:15
two thousand twelve, we hadn't even met
1:17
yet. And almost everyone who
1:19
was in the church, at the crime scene,
1:22
or with father Joe the day he died,
1:24
has either passed away in the last ten years
1:27
or won't talk. We
1:30
were in the middle of this investigation and
1:32
we couldn't find an unbiased buffalonian
1:35
who was in the Catholic diocese or
1:38
the DA's office or the police
1:40
force. We needed an
1:42
inside man with no agenda,
1:44
who did not know father Joe, but
1:47
lived and breathed in Buffalo long
1:49
enough to know how the city works.
1:53
And we knew we had to go back to Buffalo
1:55
to find him. The ten
1:57
year anniversary of father Joe's death
1:59
was approaching. And without a certain
2:01
plan for publishing this podcast series,
2:04
Rachel and I traveled back to Buffalo. The
2:08
town of Tonawanda was more haunting this
2:10
time. Erie County was living
2:12
up to its Erie name, with
2:14
a constant gloom shading the sun
2:17
from piercing through. We were
2:19
no longer tourists, oblivious to
2:21
the corruption plaguing the city.
2:23
And we were on a mission. A real award.
2:26
We didn't understand it. We're
2:28
on a mission from God.
2:35
In light clockwork, the coincidences
2:37
start. First, we
2:39
went to a casino that had a few restaurants
2:41
in it, and we picked the most burger and hot
2:44
dog joint we can and jack up
2:46
at the bar. Only to fight out the bartenders
2:48
apparently, the nephew of someone
2:50
inside the DA's office. But
2:53
when we go to Seibu and Joe's senior,
2:56
or stunned by Joe senior's rapid decline.
3:00
Worried that we weren't gonna get the man.
3:02
Any more answers? We
3:05
were growing weary. After
3:08
a number of abruptly ended phone calls,
3:10
we were feeling desperate Hold up
3:13
in a hotel along the Niagara River.
3:16
We were plotting our next move,
3:18
organizing a cell abrasion honoring
3:20
father Joe at Saint Lawrence
3:23
on the ten year anniversary of his death
3:25
on October thirteenth. Twenty
3:27
twenty two.
3:30
We had two days. And
3:33
then miraculously,
3:35
The inside man we were looking for
3:38
seemingly appears out
3:40
of thin air.
3:45
We're gonna call him Frank. He
3:47
is a former Seminary and he has
3:50
had Sue's contact info for years.
3:53
But now, today, of
3:55
all random Tuesdays, he
3:58
was Peldery jab while
4:00
we are in Buffalo. We
4:03
explained what we were doing with the podcast,
4:05
and after a bit of convincing him
4:08
to trust us. He agrees
4:10
to an interview, but asks
4:12
for his voice to be modulated to
4:14
protect his identity. Yeah.
4:18
So I was in the sanitary for a
4:20
number of years. For the buffalo
4:24
He explains that he wasn't always following
4:26
this path in life, but then
4:28
had a very strong calling experience
4:30
Yeah. I had a I had
4:33
a really strong
4:36
calling experience at a mass And
4:44
my life changed at that point forever
4:46
afterwards. It's
4:48
very hard to describe, but I
4:56
heard a couple things, but it wasn't like an auditory
4:58
thing. So they're
5:00
nervous. But
5:03
somehow it's not all around you.
5:05
Thank you. Yeah.
5:08
Tough to explain, but I
5:11
knew that something had radically
5:14
shifted inside of me. I
5:18
was a totally different person before
5:21
and after the calling. Yeah.
5:24
Oh, you have to be completely honest about everything and
5:26
then me as well, guess. But I could talk about
5:28
the application process in there for that.
5:30
Go back on. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. I
5:32
have this calling experience. And I
5:37
decide to apply to the
5:39
Diocese of Buffalo, my
5:41
native city in Diocese. And,
5:46
you know, I thought I was just going to be
5:49
taught how to be a priest, but
5:51
as you would expect. But
5:53
I realized it fell unknowingly
5:58
into this side world of
6:01
abusive power, sexual
6:07
relationships with priests, like
6:10
hearing about all their exploits, and
6:12
I'm bragging about it at, like, these parties
6:15
with some inarians. And
6:19
I know a lot of good priests, and it
6:21
just shocked me because I'd never heard any
6:23
priest talk like that before. And when
6:25
I was in seminary, a lot of guys
6:28
would talk with me and I was kind of a sounding
6:30
board for a lot of them. So would
6:32
hear a lot of what was going on without
6:34
being a firsthand witness to a lot
6:36
of this stuff. So I just
6:38
have all this information coming at me and
6:41
then as the years went on, it just
6:43
gets worse because we're we're we're in
6:45
seminary at a time. We have highest
6:47
numbers ever. And
6:50
then our rector, Joe
6:53
Gatto, gets accused of
6:55
inappropriate touching of
6:57
adults. But
7:00
unlike every other case in the day, she's a
7:02
buffalo, he
7:05
is allowed to return to ministry.
7:08
Unlimited touching. He's allowed to
7:10
return to ministry because it didn't
7:12
rise to the level
7:15
of taking him out of active
7:17
ministry. So he's
7:18
part of the the boys club. The
7:20
guys is a buffalo as they call it. The
7:22
boys boys club, the lavender mouthy.
7:39
With a strong connection between every
7:42
little guys who wanna to the pontiff
7:45
gold regorian in Rome -- Mhmm. --
7:47
which is a seminary supposedly
7:49
for the best and the brightest. It's like the Bishopmaker.
7:52
Yeah. Like, the place I would wanna
7:54
stay away from with all, like, anyone
7:57
who wants to be a bishop in this D and H,
7:59
they either have a personality to harder, they're legally
8:01
insane. Because, like, you're just you're
8:03
managing over the decline -- Mhmm. --
8:05
and you're the CEO of
8:08
a spiritual thing. With your businessman
8:11
to this spiritual entity.
8:15
We wanna make it known in all of this.
8:18
We are not questioning god.
8:21
We're questioning those in charge of the church
8:24
in the twenty first Wondery. Henry
8:29
men's always bishop at the time. And,
8:32
yeah, it's been alleged that and
8:36
I've heard several seminarians
8:38
who were seminarians at the time, some
8:41
are priests, some are ex seminarians. That
8:44
this took place, that there were Colombian
8:47
cementarians
8:49
being brought in from South
8:51
America.
8:53
And they
8:55
were being found out two
8:58
different homosexual priests
9:02
and they were used in abuse.
9:06
The boy's Club has strong connections
9:09
to Rome. So some other
9:11
priests coincidentally that
9:13
were there around the same time, Oklahoma.
9:17
David Lipoma. Montana
9:21
Slovakia who'll come up later.
9:26
Monciniar Shupka, former rector of the
9:28
Seminary before Gatto, SIEPKA.
9:36
Sorry. Richard Scruggska. That's
9:38
IEPKA.
9:46
Gross was a big part of it, but he
9:49
did not go there. Okay? He's
9:51
he is probably the head honcho of the whole
9:53
boys club. He protected
9:56
all of the pedophiles. I
10:00
know of one victim who I'm
10:02
personally friends with. And
10:06
he did literally nothing. The
10:10
priest got moved around. This is after
10:12
the Dallas charter after
10:14
they were told exactly what they had to do
10:16
to protect miners. Grosch
10:18
knew what he had to do. He knew these
10:20
pre shrub users. And
10:23
he still let them go on to different churches
10:26
and hurt other minors. Like
10:30
Art Smith, is one of the biggest
10:33
scumbags. You'll ever the
10:36
guy should have had thrown
10:39
out of the pre food decades
10:42
ago. And he
10:45
has abused everyone from his
10:47
own nephew to
10:50
from ages. Now probably
10:53
twenty to sixty. He
10:56
leads such a trail of victims that
10:59
it is just disgusting. And
11:01
he is such a nurse, sister, sociopath,
11:03
I don't know. I'm not a psychologist. I can't. But
11:06
he'll actually go out
11:08
of his way to say he did nothing wrong.
11:10
And he'll go on the news. He's been on the news multiple
11:12
times to do he's some of the Diocese first.
11:16
Yeah. Yeah.
11:18
No. So these pedophiles, they have no
11:20
shame. They have no shame. So the
11:22
equal so you have the pedophiles, which
11:25
were mostly gone dead
11:27
in not in jail. In this Diocese, none of
11:29
them got arrested. Literally, I don't think one of them
11:32
ever got arrested I think it's partly
11:34
that. I think it's partly they
11:36
they realize that, hey, your earrings are the same
11:38
thing I do in seminary. Mhmm. I
11:40
think it's also they they weed out
11:43
the guys who aren't gonna go along in seven
11:45
area. So like most of
11:47
the straight men that I need,
11:49
it's not very systematically needed
11:52
out.
11:57
Weeded out by the Lavender mafia.
12:00
The Good Old Boys Club, clogged
12:03
deep within the Diocese, grooming
12:06
members from Seminary forward. It's
12:09
a hard club to define the characteristics of
12:11
member ship. But
12:14
its existence is woven into the fabric
12:16
of buffalo Catholic
12:17
folklore, no matter who you
12:19
talk to. Even
12:23
the few open homosexual ones
12:26
that were able to be okay with their identity.
12:29
They would get questions from the closeted
12:32
homosexual. Like, how are you gonna be able to
12:34
how are you gonna be able to do those as a gay
12:36
man? Just the biggest hit
12:38
or panoptoole nonsense will ever
12:41
eat in the flesh. Absolutely.
12:43
And here's the unholy alliance. Here's
12:45
the whole thing, which a lot of people
12:48
are totally getting wrong throughout this whole
12:50
scandal. And they wanna point a finger
12:52
at just some pedophiles or just homosexual
12:55
priests. But it was an unholy
12:57
alliance between the two. They
12:59
both had dirty secrets. Yeah. So
13:02
the the homosexual priests
13:06
let's say, for example, well, there's,
13:09
let's say, there's homosexual priests and
13:11
he is having a relationship with man
13:13
in Canada. Which
13:16
a lot of Buffalo Police are known to do in
13:18
Toronto. And Let's
13:22
say he's having a relationship with that man.
13:24
Well, he finds out that good old
13:26
father so and so in his abused x
13:29
amount of children. Oh, father
13:32
So and so decides that he's
13:34
gonna say, well, you can't tell
13:36
about what I'm doing because then
13:39
I'm gonna tell everyone what you're doing. And
13:41
you bet your bottom dollar and that these pedophiles
13:44
will kick the bucket over on their way out. They'll
13:46
light the whole thing up. They don't care. It's
13:48
all about personal survival and their
13:50
own their own needs.
13:52
It's all about them. That's
13:54
why, like, when these pedophiles get caught, like, in
13:56
Buffalo, he's just like, how many people and when
13:59
they interviewed Orsula, they're, like, how many people did
14:01
you abuse? Oh, probably dozens. Says
14:04
it to the news newspaper, like, he's almost part of
14:06
it. Same thing with the guy in Boston that broke
14:08
home story in the nineties. How are you?
14:10
Oh, God. Must have been hundreds? Or even
14:12
no, it was so many. And they're, like, they're probably
14:21
So a lot of these deacons. They want
14:23
they don't maybe they don't know they're so
14:25
far away, but they
14:27
don't really know if a full worry. Right?
14:29
They were using nothing. They're not living in these
14:31
rectories. They're not hanging out with these priests at
14:34
night. Right? I mean, in
14:36
some area we call the
14:38
laced by day, whether by night crowd. And
14:42
we all knew it existed, but it was
14:44
just like I'm gonna do everything in my power
14:46
to not be one of those. Like, I mean,
14:49
I'm not gonna fall into that trap of ever
14:52
protecting them. Right? I know I'm never gonna
14:54
be one of those purpose. But, like, I'm never
14:56
gonna I don't wanna even wanna be in that
14:58
club. And the more that went on, it was
15:00
just like you're either in that club or you're not
15:03
in it at all. Like, that is
15:05
the whole club. Well,
15:07
so the people that people
15:09
delay people, the people who love Buffalo deserve better.
15:12
Yeah. They deserve so much better. I mean,
15:14
we we have a very faithful very
15:17
faithful city that loves
15:19
its church. And they
15:21
love the campbell church. They love
15:23
their churches. And they're
15:25
just appalled. I mean, look
15:27
at the numbers that the buffalo Diocese
15:30
themselves have put out since
15:32
Malone was in power
15:35
Donations have gone down, I think,
15:37
forty percent. That's
15:39
since two thousand twelve coincidentally seen
15:41
Europe. My father, Joe.
15:47
Oh, yeah. At first, most some
15:49
of the areas, and I'll I'll admit that I
15:51
took the same approach. It's the bumper mentality.
15:54
It's and then my were
15:57
better and better than that. You
15:59
know, no one wants to believe that the problems in their
16:01
backyard with their people. But you
16:04
know, at a certain point, it becomes
16:06
delusional not to think that where
16:08
there's so much evidence to the contrary that
16:12
Not only is it going on, that is,
16:14
in fact, was a large scale criminal
16:17
conspiracy to
16:19
cover up the abuse of children The
16:23
abuse not only the abuse of children, the
16:25
sexual transportation and and
16:28
traffic of of mine is definitely through
16:30
state lines and I know of definitely
16:33
through several countries at least
16:35
to I mean, these
16:37
things are major crimes. And
16:41
in the beginning, it was like you see things
16:43
out of rose colored glasses. Like, Right?
16:45
You know, when you're young and patriotic,
16:47
America can do no wrong, you know,
16:50
and you read, you know, a book, you know, read the
16:52
Jacarta. About the history of the CIA.
16:55
And you realize, oh, wait, we've been doing wrong for
16:57
something into world war two. But,
17:00
you know, back to to
17:02
like, in the beginning of the seminary, it
17:05
was it felt right. It felt like It
17:10
felt like I was where I was supposed to be
17:12
in terms of spiritually. I was just going
17:14
to mass. I didn't know about all that other stuff going
17:17
on. And then everything
17:19
started breaking down. Over
17:27
the course of the next, I'd
17:30
say, during that year,
17:33
certificate of that. The scandals, Orcellence, was
17:35
interviewed by the Buffalo News. He
17:37
broke up, but he he broke the whole scandal. Orcellence,
17:40
J. Token is a storming with Orcellence. Norbert
17:44
Orsula's, but he admitted
17:46
abusing probably dozens of boys.
17:49
That program in the whole story. So what's
17:51
in the news every single day?
17:53
And you have a paper dropped off for you?
17:57
I mean, everyone, all the time and errands are gathering in
17:59
kitchen and we're just like, okay,
18:02
here's the next one. Here's
18:05
here's the next story that here's today's story
18:07
about the pedophile. You know, and it was
18:09
every literally every day for
18:14
at least a year. There
18:16
was some story about then you
18:18
can just go back and look at the Buffalo News Channel
18:20
seven. Those are the two biggest every day.
18:22
And then our then gradually, the
18:25
world's colored glasses are just shattered. Right?
18:27
So now you're just like, I'm in a crap system,
18:29
but I'm gonna be the one I'm
18:32
gonna be the one to help turn it all
18:34
around. And, you know, you're praying to
18:36
think about that more and you're just like, how but
18:38
I you know, a narcissistic fool too.
18:40
You know, I'm gonna single and really turn
18:42
this whole shit around. And, yeah, there's other good
18:44
guys there with you. But I'm sure there's
18:46
other good people like Father Joe Marino that had
18:49
those good intentions. And he tried
18:51
to go up against this in the system and
18:53
look at Apple. From
18:59
what I referred, there
19:06
is a problem. There
19:12
is a problem not just with
19:15
Yes. Let me answer your question first. Sorry.
19:17
Yes. I think it goes back there.
19:19
I think they've learned some of these bad habits
19:21
there first. But
19:23
I also think that the culture is
19:25
here. Right? So Diocese have
19:28
this culture already And
19:30
then there might be a couple guys doing
19:32
the same thing, and then the culture there gets worse.
19:34
Right? Because these are all Americans going over
19:36
to Rome to study with only Americans in
19:38
an American college with American
19:40
professors. Right? So it's not like they're
19:43
going and, you know, rubbing
19:45
elbows with, you know, a bunch of Roman
19:47
cementarians and picking up on their culture.
19:49
This is an American thing. And
19:51
if you're looking to the North American College,
19:53
you'll see a
19:55
seminarian from the archdiocese of
19:58
New York is currently filing a lawsuit
20:00
against the them them
20:03
and the archdiocese of New York
20:05
I'm sorry. The archdiocese in New York and
20:08
the Greg. With
20:10
Cardinal Bullen as one of the
20:15
other defendants. And yeah.
20:17
Father Harlan -- Yes. -- he was just
20:20
thrown out
20:22
of the director of that for
20:25
inappropriately touching veterinarians and having
20:28
allegedly sex parties with them. The
20:30
voice actor who's still there, nothing
20:32
happened to him yet, he is
20:34
still in charge. So you have the number one and
20:36
number two right now or at least
20:38
last year. The number one and number two that
20:42
are pushing this
20:44
gay lifestyle, this underground
20:47
gay lifestyle. And then
20:49
meanwhile, all straight seminarians are
20:51
told that we have to live this life of And
20:54
then we have to watch all of them and do all this
20:56
stuff. And it's just like you're the biggest Hippocrats
20:58
I've ever
20:58
seen. And and then it's just like, well,
21:01
if you don't have to follow your ball as wet as anyone,
21:03
and it just corrupts the whole thing.
21:06
This isn't about sexual preference
21:09
so much as it is about celibacy,
21:11
and the vow clergy take to it.
21:14
The Catholic church considers the law of
21:16
clerical celibacy not to be
21:18
doctrine, but discipline.
21:22
A special gift of God by which sacred
21:24
ministers can more easily remain
21:27
close to Christ with an undivided
21:29
heart and can dedicate themselves
21:32
more freely to the service
21:34
of god and their neighbor.
21:38
And
21:38
when this discipline is being corroded,
21:40
in these most prestigious seminaries?
21:44
What kind of discipline can you expect in
21:47
your local diocese? I
21:50
could look at an article, a number of the seminarians.
21:54
We brought to the seven area formation
21:56
and became a human scandal at the
21:58
time. You you it's called
21:59
thehamburger pizza
22:01
party incident. K. Yeah.
22:05
So you'll be able to see Yeah. Sorry.
22:09
It was basically priests
22:12
trying to earn subadarians, and
22:14
they were talking about all the super listed
22:17
sexual
22:17
stuff. How about
22:18
what
22:19
you want details about the seminary? Because we
22:21
vet our Yeah.
22:21
Okay. Good morning. How about Yeah.
22:25
The bishop at the end, he
22:27
was really in rough shape, and
22:29
he was, like, I heard from several
22:31
people that he was just drinking of,
22:34
like, daily to cope. Because
22:36
it it was all about him. Right? It was all about
22:38
he didn't wanna give up his opisc
22:40
he didn't wanna give up his
22:42
miter. His his point he had.
22:44
Mancha.
22:45
Yeah. You're good. Well, no. He gave
22:47
that up. And he he gave that up for a
22:49
much smaller place on the east side.
22:52
And when you Bishop Groch put four million dollars
22:54
into? And then, yes. And then the
22:56
loan after that, put another
22:58
two hundred and fifty thousand So they're
23:00
downgrade cost the Diocese. It's
23:03
five million dollars on those? The diet
23:05
is a buffalo. I know this for fact,
23:07
from pastures all around. Diocese of
23:10
was going around to each individual
23:12
perishes handing out money to put in the show
23:14
corporations to hide it from the victims.
23:29
If we wanna really
23:31
go down the rabbit hole here. That was true.
23:34
Also, you were talking about what I when we
23:36
could begin to realize in Seminary that things
23:38
aren't what you think they're gonna be. So
23:41
each Seminary is put
23:43
at a certain church in Buffalo? the
23:47
church I was put at, very
23:50
nice priest, no
23:52
complaints whatsoever. But
23:56
when I would come back early or
23:58
unexpectedly, the
24:01
scene fifty
24:03
year old man would be there,
24:07
and they were very surprised
24:09
to see me once you say. So
24:11
I began to learn from a
24:13
number of other so many reasons that this has happened to
24:15
them. This guy has been around this parish forever,
24:18
and it is that pastor's living boyfriend.
24:23
Yep. I really
24:26
knew about it. Major
24:28
Parish. He's
24:30
got a boyfriend. Okay.
24:33
So he hit critical, pretty absurd.
24:37
And then you hear somewhere
24:40
along the line, these guys shared
24:42
their idea of their vow of
24:45
chastity.
24:47
And it's a real
24:50
it's a real just
24:52
dancing justification. Their
24:55
idea of the vow their vow of chastity
24:58
is that as long as they do not procreate
25:01
and have children they're in
25:03
the clear check mark, chastity
25:06
covered. All their impurities
25:08
with men and children, That
25:12
that doesn't count. It's not yep.
25:14
Not in the box. Yeah.
25:16
Yeah. No. It it I mean, it definitely doesn't
25:18
say that anywhere. Yeah.
25:21
At all, I've checked the catechism a
25:23
few
25:23
times, and I don't remember reading that. Yeah.
25:26
I didn't know the rules don't apply to that.
25:28
Yeah.
25:32
So there
25:34
was a book written in
25:36
Boston. Wait
25:38
before the scandal came out. And
25:40
if you can find it, please buy me a copy
25:42
and I will pay you. What's the call? I
25:45
don't know the exact title. It's
25:47
something the effect of the
25:49
real crisis in the in
25:51
Boston is that there's a
25:53
satanic call turning the chancery. Many
25:56
many people believe for
25:59
good reasons that
26:03
there is a
26:05
satanic cult operating in Buffalo. They
26:09
believe that based
26:13
on some very strong
26:17
things that they've seen, heard
26:25
We've done a lot of research on this.
26:28
It's not just a Buffalo problem.
26:31
There is apparently an office at the Vatican
26:34
that investigates priests
26:38
that have gone rogue, that
26:40
have gone and
26:42
done this. Now
26:44
we know how this sounds. But
26:46
I have to say to any true believer. If
26:49
you believe in the almighty god, you
26:51
must believe in the opposing evil,
26:54
fallen angels, demons and
26:56
the devil. And this
26:58
story will come to affirm. The
27:00
devil and God are
27:02
both very real enraging
27:04
against each other inside the church.
27:09
And as pope Paul said in nineteen seventy
27:11
two, that he has the feeling that
27:14
from some fissure, the smoke
27:16
of Satan has entered into the temple
27:18
of God. Later
27:21
he was quoted saying, we believe
27:24
that something predator natural
27:27
has come into the world specifically to
27:29
disturb, to suffocate the
27:31
fruits of the ecumenical council,
27:33
and to prevent the church from breaking out
27:35
into him of joy for having recovered
27:38
in fullness the awareness of herself.
27:42
In his general audience on November
27:44
fifteenth nineteen seventy two, Pope
27:47
Paul the six addressed in more detail
27:49
the reality of the devil. He
27:52
stated that one of the greatest needs of
27:54
the church today is the defense
27:56
against the evil we call the devil.
28:02
mean, even, like, if that girl made everything
28:05
up, there's enough evidence that they're
28:07
ritually hurting children. Years.
28:11
Yeah. They're like, who this will walk.
28:13
Well, here's the other thing. Here's the other thing.
28:15
Yeah. But don't
28:17
underestimate the double worship side of it.
28:20
Because they get they're getting something
28:22
out of it. They wouldn't do it if they didn't.
28:24
The diabolical is very
28:26
real. Right? So it The
28:28
diabolical is very real.
28:31
And if you wanna question it, Frank
28:33
was quick to tell us a story about a demonic
28:35
possession in which a child was able to
28:37
speak ancient arameic. And
28:40
you don't have to look too far to get
28:42
completely scared stiff if
28:45
you start researching exorcisms in the
28:47
Catholic church. But
28:49
the conversation shifts to the evil of
28:51
play and father Joe's death.
28:54
It's the it's a standard mafia hit.
28:57
I mean, the kind of cops who made it looked
28:59
like it was a mafia thing as well. And
29:01
it could just be a thing to
29:03
throw people off the scent like a good cop and good
29:05
cop trying to cover himself. The other thing I mentioned
29:07
to her where do the other gun come from?
29:09
Dirty tops carry what they call a burner
29:12
gun, so in case they have them.
29:14
Now we've gone over the gun and
29:17
all the logistics behind it in
29:19
previous episodes. But
29:21
this mafia style hit is something that we've
29:24
heard again and again. But
29:27
coming from this same Seminary, Frank
29:30
later told us, and
29:32
we've been assured by sue
29:35
and those close to father Joe that
29:37
simply put the Italian
29:40
mob in buffalo. Wouldn't
29:42
kill an Italian priest. So
29:46
it might have looked like a mafia hit. We
29:49
don't think it had anything to do with a mafia.
29:51
But rather a professional.
29:54
And
29:54
if we do that twice, there would be nothing left. Yeah.
29:56
And it will mostly be an
29:58
interesting reenactment for the podcast of
30:00
like, sure. Wait
30:03
a minute. What if we pitched in and got
30:05
one of those ballistic heads? Oh, yeah.
30:07
With the thirty eight, got a ballistic
30:09
head, and then do the two shots
30:12
with the thirty eight to show what it would really do
30:14
to the
30:14
head. And our new friend Frank had a great
30:16
idea. That's why we did just that.
30:19
And if you wanna see our at home ballistics test,
30:22
you can check it out on seven deadly centers
30:24
in the grid. It was pretty eye
30:27
opening. And
30:29
one last thing to consider about father
30:31
Joe's mysterious death, the
30:34
date October thirteenth,
30:37
which just so happens to align with the
30:39
miracle of Fatima or the miracle
30:41
of the sun as it's known to some. We
30:44
will go into Fatima and the three
30:46
secrets of Fatima, more next
30:48
episode. But for right now,
30:50
let's see what Frank has to say about David
30:52
Lapuma's homily on October
30:55
fourteenth two thousand and twelve.
30:59
And this is all I heard this
31:01
through someone who was there. But
31:04
the day after he did
31:07
a father Joe was murdered, Father,
31:11
Dave Lipuma, was
31:13
saying a mask for
31:16
a group, a religious
31:18
group here in Buffalo. And
31:21
he kept saying over and over again how
31:23
quote, there was so much blood. There
31:25
was so much blood. But what
31:28
no one could understand after they saw the
31:30
crime scene photos was
31:32
there wasn't any blood. So
31:34
what blood did he see? And
31:38
where did it go? Yeah.
31:41
That was that was mostly about yeah.
31:43
The the devil worshiping cult
31:46
stuff that I think the place are involved
31:48
with. That's the other motive is they're all trying
31:50
to hide the
31:53
abuse of children, and I think the abuse of
31:55
children is not exclusive to
31:58
the church. I think that
32:00
it's also happening. I think some police
32:02
are doing it. I think there's
32:04
some judges,
32:07
lawyers, because
32:10
it's not just money. The motivation here
32:12
isn't just money. We've
32:15
heard enough that hopefully
32:17
when we get enough people talking, there is enough
32:19
evidence at least circumstantial
32:23
to heavily point the finger that some of
32:25
these priests have
32:27
turned. They don't believe
32:29
in God anymore or they
32:31
just they are straight up We believe
32:34
the devil is real and they're worshiping
32:36
him, and they believe it gives them
32:38
power. And
32:46
I I don't think it's a I don't think it's a coincidence.
32:48
It is a real force of evil, and I don't think it's
32:50
coincidence that pull Paul the sixth
32:52
right after Yeah. John
32:54
Paul the first was may or
32:56
may not have been murdered. Right
32:58
after that, pope Paul the sixth said the smoke
33:01
of Satan has entered the church. And
33:04
right after that, the immune scandal started.
33:07
So they there was allegedly an
33:09
internation ceremony where
33:12
they incurredinated Satan
33:15
in the church. It happened in Rome,
33:18
and it happened on the side of the Atlantic, and
33:20
it happened with the cardinal. cardinal
33:23
is Joseph Bernadine from Chicago. This
33:26
is world document that you could find us anywhere.
33:29
Allegedly, he raped a four year old
33:31
girl on the altar of a Church
33:33
with several bishops in attendance. They
33:36
made her eat the empress in
33:39
a very disgusting way. And
33:41
they made her swallow her son. These
33:49
are the men that are leaving the church right now.
33:52
These are the men that
33:54
are protecting the pedophiles.
33:58
Even if they don't even
34:00
if they pretend that they don't know or they
34:02
didn't know what was going on, some
34:04
of them they mostly do, and they
34:06
know a lot more than they're letting
34:09
on to. This
34:11
stuff is real. I
34:15
don't I I would like to get few more
34:17
people to come in and verify
34:19
what they say. But, you know,
34:21
this is touching people literally as we've
34:23
seen been murdered over this. You
34:27
know, I I think it's the
34:29
due of a lot of Catholics throughout
34:32
time to fight for their church, you know. And
34:34
I'm not gonna let my church
34:36
go down to a bunch of
34:38
these scumbags and perverts and let's just
34:40
face it, frauds. How
34:42
does someone become a satanist after
34:45
they they believe in the Catholic
34:47
faith they don't. They're a fraud. No.
34:50
Or you lose your faith so far and
34:52
so much along the way that
34:55
you fall you know, and you don't
34:57
even believe in God anymore. Or
34:59
you just don't care. You know,
35:01
I think that's fueling from between. I think most
35:04
of these guys are just frauds. I
35:06
think they'd clean it for the power and
35:08
for for whatever Prestige was
35:10
left. I mean, workers joining now is not joining
35:12
for the Prestige trust me because there's none.
