CROMWELL, Conn. (ChurchMilitant.com) - In response to Church Militant's exclusive report "Episcopal Sodomy: Gay Seminarian Pipeline," the head of Connecticut's Holy Apostles Seminary is revealing disciplinary measures taken against a cabal of actively homosexual students in 2012.
"There may be reference in the Catholic media in days to come regarding a specific group of seminarian candidates from Colombia, some of whom were on-campus residents at Holy Apostles in 2012," Fr. Mosey warned. "I wanted to be sure to clarify the immediate actions taken at that time to ensure the ongoing safe environment of our campus community and the integrity of our intellectual and spiritual education mission."
Mosey indicated that Holy Apostles officials were unaware of Abp. Mansell's clandestine importation program, explaining, "The Administration of the Seminary became aware of alleged homosexual practice by several students on the Cromwell campus" only in April 2012.
The seminary's response, he reassured backers, was swift: "With the full support of the Board of Directors, a thorough internal investigation was immediately launched."
All they had to do was go to the house, pass a sexual test with one or more American priests and then begin the process to receive a visa to the United States for further seminary training.
In the interest of transparency, Fr. Mosey explained, the investigation team included "both clergy and laity ... including law enforcement." In the end, the inquiry confirmed that multiple Holy Apostles seminarians were active homosexuals.
Mosey disclosed that, based on these findings, seminary leaders launched a series of disciplinary actions.
"As a result of the swift and thorough investigation, seven seminarians were immediately expelled from Holy Apostles," he said, adding, "Six additional students were withdrawn from the program by their original sponsoring diocese."

"Holy Apostles acted immediately and decisively in full compliance with its safe environment protocol to ensure the integrity of its seminary program," he assured readers.
"We had not encountered such an incident previously nor have we since," Mosey noted, reiterating, "We remain vigilant and dedicated to the mission of Holy Apostles to prepare lay, consecrated and ordained Catholic leaders in a safe and spiritually nurturing environment."
Last week, Church Militant revealed that, beginning in 1995, Mansell, then bishop of Buffalo, set up a recruiting network through which he funneled gay Colombian men into U.S. seminaries.
Arriving in Hartford in 2003, Mansell encountered a similar pipeline established by the archdiocese of Newark:
The secret pipeline involved a so-called "house of formation" established by the archdiocese of Newark in 2003 near the Colombian cities of Medellin and Bogota. Seminarians who had actually been expelled from various Colombian seminaries for homosexual activity were quietly told that they should find their way to the American "discernment" house if they wanted a ticket to gay-friendly seminaries in the United States.
All they had to do was go to the house, pass a sexual test with one or more American priests and then begin the process to receive a visa to the United States for further seminary training.
Once in the U.S., the recruits were installed at a number of seminaries along the East Coast, including Holy Apostles; after their seminary studies, many were planted in parishes across the United States. Various bishops — among them, Abp. Mansell — were fully aware of the transactions, and did nothing to stop it.
Little-Known Prophecies of Christmas, Pt 3: Genesis 17:19 :: By Paul J. Scharf Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles The Messiah was a descendant of Abraham. More than that, we considered last time how He was, in fact, promised within the covenant that God made with Abram (Gen. 12:1-3). According to the Apostle Paul in Gal. 3:16 and 19, He is the ultimate recipient of that covenant! Our Savior Jesus Christ is finally the One through whom “all the families of the earth shall be blessed” (Gen. 12:3). Paul also quoted and discussed that portion of the covenant in Gal. 3:8-9. We ended last time with the realization that the promised Messiah would be the final Davidic king over Israel. As declared then, however, there are several intermediate steps, with accompanying prophecies, which are given between the times of Abraham and David and speak about His coming and the offices He would hold as the greatest prophet, priest, and king. And there are also more ance
Christians Using Science Badly: Part 2 :: By Wilfred Hahn Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles, Wilfred Hahn Christians Using Science Badly: Part 2 :: By Wilfred Hahn Reviewing the “facts” that we cited in Part 1, we noted the hyperbole and downright dishonesty in some instances to support global warming claims. Why is there such bias? Money Precedes Truth Global warming has become big business. Armies of global consultants are peddling false information because it is profitable to do so. Many claimed urgencies are exaggerated by factors of 10X … indeed, 200X in some instances and more. Governments are particularly susceptible to this hype, promising infrastructure programs estimated to cost upwards of trillions of dollars. According to a new report,1 an estimated $3.4 trillion will be invested in renewable energy during the next decade, including $2.72 trillion in wind and solar. By 2030, 54.1% of installed capacity will be renewable (including hydropo
It Is Coming - By Daymond Duck - https://www.raptureready.com/2022/12/24/it-is-coming-by-daymond-duck/ On Dec. 17, 2022, it was reported that Rep. David Cicilline, a Democrat from Rhode Island, has introduced legislation to permanently bar former Pres. Trump from running for president again, and 40 Democrats have signed on. Cicilline is accusing Trump of orchestrating an insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021. At the time of this writing, it is debatable as to whether Cicilline’s legislation will get voted on before the new Congress takes office in 2023, but some conservatives have said from the beginning that the main purpose of the Jan. 6 fake show-trial was to stop Trump from being elected again. Some, including this writer, have said there is no telling what the U.S. shadow government will do to prevent making America great again (MAGA) because they want to surrender the sovereignty of the U.S. to the New World Order (coming world government). It was easy to see this comi
