[We will] vigorously defend [ourselves] against…the false accusations [of complicity with Euteneuer]…To the extent Father Euteneuer has already admitted to engaging in highly inappropriate and gravely sinful conduct with a young adult woman, we can only emphasize that such behavior was never within the scope of his employment with HLI. -Stephen Phelan, spokesman for HLI

Can we believe anything this woman says? -Jenn Giroux, former HLI employee and current columnist for RenewAmerica

Victim Jane Doe:

[in the chapel, and about to be touched inappropriately by Fr. Euteneuer]

Well, He would stop me if it wasn’t!
