"Defenders of Church" Announcement on Religious Roots of Sexual Disorder in StP-Mpls

“The Thirty year Fracture of Priestly Fraternity in the Archdiocese of St Paul — Deceit, Dissent, and the Decline of Fatherhood.”
By Dr. David Pence and the men of the docsociety

A presentation of the historical and religious roots of sexual disorder in the Archdiocese of St Paul. This disordered culture, which allowed the ordination of Ryan Erickson, was a doctrinal and practical breakdown of the purity codes, taboos, and sacramental order which define Catholic life. Dr. Pence has extensively interviewed laity and at least twenty priests of the diocese over the last two years.

Catholic tradition compels us to join all clergy and religious in the participation of Lenten repentance and confession. In particular, members of DOC society are encouraged to attend Mass and fast on this day.

All Catholic men and women invited.

We have personally asked three clergymen to resign because of their roles in furthering the culture of deceit in the Archdiocese of St Paul. We will publicly tell the sordid tale of this diocese’s chancery and seminary culture that has allowed a well known homosexual predator in authority at our Catholic orphanage as well as homosexual dissidents in teaching positions in our seminary colleges, parishes, and high schools. We will publish a document for the meeting and are inviting public discussion in the secular and catholic media to help shine a light on the deceitful and fractured priesthood of this diocese that spawned the murderer of Dan O’Connell.
