  As Jury Trials Approach, Plaintiffs Compel Depositions and Documents, Church Fights for Pedophile Pederast Priest and Cardinals' Rights

Jury trials begin this summer in the L.A. Clergy Cases so I spent some time in Room 106 of Superior Court today to see what type of documents have been filed in the last few weeks.



There have been settlements. About 30 documents down from the top, "Motions of Good Faith Determinations" on the part of the Congregation of the Mission also known as "the Vincentians" and 10 plaintiffs. There are still other defendants in these cases, the RCC Archbishop "DOE 1" and St. John's Seminary "DOE 2" but at least the Vincentians have dropped out of the lawsuit insanity.



Over and over again the LA Archdiocese refuses to turn over documents and exhibits while at the same time filing motions to strike and quash cases because the plaintiffs don't have documents and exhibits.

Your eyes start to blur as you open one document after another.

It's hard to tell which cases connect with which priests. For example on July 9 the jury trial is for "Hagenbach Cases"

But one Hagenbach case alone names 28 priests who were apparently part of an inner circle of pedophiles in Southern California.

Many of these inner circle pedophile pederast priests came from Our lady of the Angels Junior Seminary. As teachers and education professionals they recruited young boys like a NAMBLA network on a mission from god. Those select young boys went through the seminary and went on to become priests -- priests with a peculiar predilection for young boys themselves, and the abuse became generational.



Young priests graduated from seminaries run by pedo-rapist priests, then spread throughout Southern California. After finishing at Our Lady of the Angels, or St. Johns Seminary in Camarillo, which is named in another suit with another BC number,

These priests specially trained and developed as young boys recruited into the seminary now went out into Southern California parishes throughout reaching as far north as Santa Rosa.

These junior seminarians turned semen specialist priests moved in to the communities of Southern California and become pastors.



Where they preyed on little boys and girls -- diddling moms sometimes to get to the children -- supported by the L.A. Archdiocese hierarchy for decades



The Catholic Church created an epidemic of child molestation in Southern California Catholic churches, and this summer will only be the tip of the iceberg as the stories come out in jury trials.

In one Hagenbach case alone these priests associated with Queen of Angels Junior Seminary are named:

G. Patrick Ziemann

Taught at Our Lady Queen of Angels Junior Seminary then went on to become Bishop of Santa Rosa. He had to resign that post after it came out that he blackmailed a younger priest into having sex with him.

Gerald Fessard

Was Associate Superintendent of Elementary Schools in the Los Angeles Archdiocese in 1981 after being run out of Santa Clara parish in Oxnard for sexually graphic talk with students. In February 1987 Fessard became Dean of Studies at Queen of Angels Junior Seminary and within months he was brought up on charges for molesting no less than 8 seminarians in their beds.

John Farris

A most prolific child molester / faculty member of Our Lady Queen of Angels Junior Seminary, Farris was also one of the most popular teachers. He specialized in combining "spiritual advisement" with sex molestation.



I continued reading documents that were recently filed in the Clergy Cases:

BC308608

Defendant Blessed Sacrament:

Baker and Baker attorneys for the church again

One after the other Baker & Baker represent the church and deny all allegations.

"Defendant denies that plaintiff has been injured

BC308395

Defendant Doe 10, 14, and 27's answer to Plaintiff's motion. Doe 10 is St. Paul the Apostle, Blessed Sacrament is Doe 14, Doe 27 is St. Lawrence of Brin

Again the church "Denies that plaintiffs have been injured or damaged by any act on the part of defendants/

"Deny injury

"Cause of action or prayers for relief fail as a matter of law."
