another priest getting caught up in the whole 'don't touch kids' thing... I mean, who doesn't know that already? Korey LaVergne's past as a courier must've been just super exciting - delivering documents about sainthood proceedings, what a thrill ride. It's almost like he was just trying to make a name for himself in the community before getting caught out. And now the diocese is having some 'financial implications'? Yeah, no kidding. Who wouldn't see that coming?
this is so messed up i cant even... a catholic priest getting arrested for doing something like that is just heartbreaking and unacceptable how many more cases need to happen before we get some real change? it sounds like he had a legit position of power and was able to take advantage of someone who trusted him. the thought of what happened to the kid over a year is just heartbreaking i hope they find out everything that went down and give the person justice, but also support for the victim and their family
can we ever truly separate church from state? this priest's arrest is a painful reminder that even in places where faith should bring comfort, vulnerability can be exploited , and the harm caused by power imbalances can linger long after the perpetrator is brought to justice. it's a sobering thought that even institutions meant to uplift us can be breeding grounds for abuse of trust...
Ugh, can't believe these platforms don't do more to prevent this kinda stuff from happenin' . I mean, a priest gets arrested for allegedly abusin' a kid and suddenly everyone's talkin' about "clergy abuse" like it's some new thing? Come on, folks. We've been seein' these stories for decades and still nothin's bein' done to prevent 'em.
And what really grinds my gears is that this guy was involved in some kinda sainthood process last year and suddenly everyone's a hero for "supportin'" him . No one wants to talk about the real issue here, which is the systemic problem of clergy abuse and how we can prevent it from happenin' in the first place.
I swear, sometimes I think these forums are more concerned with makin' a name for themselves than actually helpin' people . Can't we just have a respectful conversation without all the drama and sensationalism?
My heart goes out to all those affected by this disturbing incident . It's just heartbreaking to think about a child (and even an adult) being touched inappropriately by someone in a position of trust, like a priest. This is exactly why we need to keep having these conversations and supporting survivors of abuse . As for Korey LaVergne, he should've never gotten bail given the severity of the allegations . Hopefully, the investigation will be thorough and the truth comes out so that justice can be served .
