Why does @BishopBoyea think that a second dose of training/treatment regarding inability to maintain healthy boundaries will work for @FrJimRolph when it didn't work the first time? Being mentally unhealthy & unable to understand boundaries is not something you can fix in 2.
Nadja was slowly being groomed into believing that she was under constant attack by the devil and demons. She was becoming convinced that her only escape was to submit herself completely to Fr. Rolph’s authority.

Fr. John Rocus's actions are a form of grooming. Safe environment & clerical conduct policies are worthless if you allow a priest to continuously platform an alleged child rapist. @BishopBoyea what are you going to do about Rocus? This has to stop.
@BishopBoyea @StMaryMacKillop Apparently Fr. Rocus and Fr. Lobert have TV & dinner date night (at least) once a week. No wonder Rocus is so dedicated to defending Lobert.

It is inconceivable that any parish in the Diocese of Lansing would host a party to celebrate an alleged child rapist who is suspended from ministry. Opening it to the public on church property is a violation of safe environment. We expect @bishopboyea to act immediately.
** Catholic parish to publicly honor priest suspended for child sexual abuse allegations**. Holy Spirit parish in Brighton, MI plans to host an ordination anniversary party for Fr. Richard Lobert on May 10, despite the priest's removal from ministry. @BishopBoyea must stop this.

The MI AG Diocese of Lansing report is out & we've heard nothing but impression management from the DOL & crickets from most of its priests. It's way past time for the MI legislature to address a crisis that is a strain on the health and financial wellbeing of our communities.
The MI legislature failed to pass the Justice for Survivors bill package. Some people imagine that Catholic dioceses are helping survivors. I'll explain from my own experience how cruel those arrangements are & how they steal agency from us. Most bishops behave as if we should

Intent has no importance when it comes to safety/conduct policies. Either a policy was violated or it was not.
Fr. Martins is a test of these policies around reporting and a test of whether or not the prevailing culture can allow for, in this instance, a father and daughter to express discomfort with the physical touches of a priest. The idea that his intentions are prioritized over the.

Starting with more simple forms of touch to "build rapport" is the definition of grooming. Touch means much more amongst celibate individuals. This is gross, physically inappropriate behavior that demands disciplinary action. Fr. Martin should not have access to children.
Lawyers for a priest accused of an “incident” which halted a nationwide relic tour say that Fr. Carlos Martins touched a student’s hair last week to build “rapport,” and police are investigating the matter only at the insistence of an “outraged father.”.

The document does not include @bishopboyea signature. To our knowledge, this has not been publicized before today although it may have already been shared with clergy and staff. It is long overdue & only the first step in reigning in spiritual abuse in the DOL.

Bob Schucht's programs are not theologically sound & are causing damage to an untold number of vulnerable people. If @JPIIHealing has any concern at all for the damage they've caused, they will stop operating & reflect. @bishopboyea ban these programs from your diocese now.

When lay people work together to reject a priest's ministry, they can make a difference. His ministry should be rejected anywhere they attempt to reassign him.
Update: He resigned.
