BURRILLVILLE, R.I. –
A woman said Wednesday she was infuriated when she learned a priest went off on a tirade against her son in the middle of class.
Dawn Joly’s 15-year-old son Skyler accuses the Rev. Roman Manchester of Our Lady of Good Help in Burrillville of going berserk during his religion class Monday night.
According to Skyler, the priest cursed at him, told him to “rot in hell” and threw out another obscenity at the entire class.
The family said Manchester admitted to using the language, saying it was a tactic to get the children to go to church more often.
