Deadline: September, 1, 2007 fwd from L Moss Sharman - Signs honoring priest stir criticism - Schmit interfered with 1980 probe of nun's murder, group claims By David Yonke Blade Religion Editor "On the one-year anniversary of Toledo priest Gerald Robinson's murder conviction, a victim's advocacy group yesterday asked the City of Toledo to remove honorary street signs that pay tribute to a deceased church leader who allegedly interfered with the original 1980 murder investigation. Claudia Vercellotti, co-coordinator of the Toledo chapter of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, asked that Mayor Carty Finkbeiner take down the signs designating a stretch of St. Clair Street "Monsignor Jerome Schmit Way." “SNAP officials said in a letter to Mayor Finkbeiner that the monsignor's good works in the community do not outweigh court testimony that he obstructed the Robinson murder investigation.” _http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070512/NEWS16/705120404/-1/NEWS_ (http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070512/NEWS16/705120404/-1/NEWS) Jehovah's Witnesses accused of building 'paedophile paradise' _http://www.sundayherald.com/_ (http://www.sundayherald.com/) By Torcuil Crichton - Sunday Herald "Scottish branch of world church alleged to have sheltered abusers and kept information from police - The Jehovah's Witnesses Church in Scotland stands accused of sheltering child abusers and keeping secret files of known paedophiles within the organisation which it refuses to share with police. After a successful prosecution over child abuse within a Jehovah's Witnesses family in Ayrshire, Scottish police are understood to be preparing to bring a further case to court in the northeast. The Jehovah's Witnesses church, which has six million members around the world, has been convulsed by revelations that its elders have protected sex offenders, failed to report accusations to the police and even punished children and families making accusations." _http://www.silentlambs.org/education/jwaccused.cfm_ (http://www.silentlambs.org/education/jwaccused.cfm) ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
