"but in my profession active homosexuality far outweighs heterosexuality"... from a sworn affidavit by Father Robert Hoatson of the Archdiocese of Newark. He was suing the Church (including then-Newark archbishop John Myers) over wrongful dismissal. Hoatson’s lawsuit was dismissed by the court on various technicalities, including jurisdictional. He left the priesthood in 2011, and now runs a non-profit organization, dedicated to helping victims of sexual abuse.

Hoatson’s sworn allegations include: “110. Ordinarily, a claim for discrimination based on sexual preferences would be made by a homosexual who alleged discrimination, but in my profession active homosexuality far outweighs heterosexuality. Heterosexuality in the Christian Brothers and Newark Archdiocese is not only in the minority based on my experiences, but the retaliation and discrimination I have described above has been repeated due to my sexual preferences being outside the norm in the field in which I have worked.”

Recall that Bishop Barros was not himself accused of abuse. He was accused of witnessing it and doing nothing. That scandal engulfed the global Church. In the US, we are faced with the possibility that *a dozen or more* bishops knew about ++McCarrick’s crimes—and did nothing.

Everyone, secure your life vests. The tsunami is making land. Thank God for this kind of courage, for love of the Church.
