Sexual Assault? Pater Thomas Rosica Sued in Ontario Court

Father Thomas J. Rosica, CSB, was stripped of his faculties as a priest on 29 June, writes VoxCantor.Blogspot.com (28 August).

A Toronto priest who worked under Father Rosica at World Youth Day 2002 alleged that he was sexually abused by the Basilian priest.

The assaults began in the late 1990s. A lawsuit filed in the Ontario court, which has now been made public, says the relationship "allowed Rosica the opportunity to be alone with the plaintiff and to exercise total control over him, exploit him and sexually abuse him".

It alleges that Rosica repeatedly "groped and fondled" the young priest's sexual organs.

The lawsuit also blames the Congregation of St Basil for failing to properly supervise Rosica.

Francis appointed Father Rosica as the Vatican's English-language spokesman in February and March 2013. Rosica also served as the Vatican's media adviser during the Synod of Bishops in October 2018.

He left the post when his serial plagiarism, exposed by VoxCantor.Blogspot.com in 2015 (!), became an embarrassment to Francis.

In June 2024, Rosica was seen leaving a gay sauna in Toronto.
