The Pittsburgh (Pedophile) Diocese

Here's an email I received this morning from a woman who knew plenty of victims of Richard Dorsch. How much longer must we permit the Pittsburgh (Pedophile) Diocese to protect predators and force clergy abuse victims to fend for themselves.

 

Mike Ference

 

Dear Mr. Ference,

Thank you for your investigative work on the Pittsburgh Diocese. I was a student and member at All Saints Catholic Church for many many years, and classmates of mine were victims of Richard Dorsch. It pains me deeply to know that such abuse was happening and a monster was placed in the midst of innocent children.
 
My parents are still shocked to this day that they knew nothing was happening. There were rumors years later that a Sr. Mary Catherine reported suspicions to the head priest at All Saints and then all of a sudden she was dismissed to never be heard of again.
 
How could these horrible acts be happening right under the noses of the church: children being raped and molested in the confessional boxes, sacristy, rectory and North Park and no parent, church leader, church employee knew nothing at All Saints? It is horrendous to me.
 
Michael Unglo was my first boyfriend, neighbor, classmate. He was a wonderful person who came from a great, great family. I still wonder how many other victims were at All Saints Catholic Church other than the ones that were involved in the lawsuit. I wish more would come forward and expose the church.
 
I can never be Catholic again.
 
I cannot look back on my Catholic upbringing and be happy about it because it is now marred by this. The same priest that gave us Holy Communion with his hands did horrific things to boys- it makes me so sick.
 
These pedophiles steal the very souls of children and the Catholic Church, let alone police officials, hospital officials, etc seem to cover it up as if it is not a crime. It saddens me. Please keep up your hard work investigating this!
 
You are a voice for the voiceless such as Michael who is gone from this world directly because of pedophiles such as Richard Dorsch and the Catholic Church leaders who do not seem to want to take responsibility for the innocence of children.

Sincerely,

Mrs. [Name witheld]
 
 

Other email response. Notice the lack of concern from Bishop Zubik concerning predator Richacd Dorsch.

 

Mike Ference

 

Thank you very much for your email response. I would truly like to know how many suicides, alcoholics, drug addicts and severe mentally disabled victims are out there because of these crimes. So many must be remaining silent. I think of other boys at our church who were similar to Michael and another boy who was molested where father figures were lacking in the households. It seems that was the trend in particular for Richard Dorsch to prey upon.

 

How the Catholic Church seems to think they are above the law or the law does not apply to their employees is beyond me. And what is further disturbing is how people can put money in the collection plate each week knowing it goes to the stipends of pedophiles. These men simply do not stop this behavior. It is always lurking in their voided beings! The Church is giving money to monsters!! If every Catholic stood up against that: things would change!! By remaining silent is a sin in itself!

After Michael's death I wrote Bishop Zubik a letter condemning the fact as to WHY Richard Dorsch is not on Megan's Law yet he lives0.2 miles from a school!!! He said that Megan's Law does not apply to Richard Dorsch. I also wrote him about Canon Law and why they are paying a pedophile to live and how that could possibly be right. He said it is a law that cannot be changed. ANYTHING that is wrong can be made right with courage! It saddens me beyond belief.

Since Michael's death, a day has not gone by that I have not thought of my childhood and how us girls were spared this violence by the grace of God, yet our very classmates were preyed upon by a monster who wash and-picked to be among children. The trust of our parents was violated, let alone the victims most of all.

Friend of Michael want to organize some kind of protest in front of the Diocese but we don't even know where to begin with this, and obviously want to stay with the respect of the family in the midst of this lawsuit and their grief. It is never easy to go to a funeral for a young person and look a grieving mom in the eyes. My own brother died a very untimely death due to an accidental overdose, and we often wonder did he travel down that path as a result of abuse at the hands of Richard Dorsch? How many other boys were there??

So sorry for the lengthy email Mr. Ference.

May God be with you in your pursuits with this.

 

Sincerely,

Mrs.  [Name witheld]
