He’s now a Tennessee hospital chaplain, even though

–a judge says he “inflamed” an argument that led to a murder,

–a Catholic bishop says he “abused his position as a clergyman,” violated a church code of ethics, tried to deceive investigators and

–a woman says he “sexually, emotionally and psychologically abused her in 2018,” and

–an attorney says he’s had “previous felony convictions.”

He is Fr. Anthony Cipolle and he’s a chaplain at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville.

We call on the Catholic bishops of Nashville and Maine to

— publicly warn the public, police and prosecutors about him, for the sake of public safety, and

— clarify his clerical status, since the public’s been told he can’t function as a priest anymore.

We also applaud Melissa Kearns who bravely revealed her suffering at the hands of Cipolle in Maine’s largest newspaper yesterday. [See 1, 2,
