St. Petersburg bishop refuses to meet parents with complaints about priest - St. Petersburg Times

Editor: More fallout from the sex abuse hoax. It's acceptable for a priest to ask questions about various sins in the confessional to help the penitent with an examination of conscience. The people who are demanding this audience with the Bishop are presumptuous, stupid and probably evil.

Either they need to be brought up to speed about the Sacrament of Penance, or sent speeding out the door to the nearest protestant/universalist/muslim sect where objectivity and clarity aren't held in as much esteem.

ST. PETERSBURG — The head of the Roman Catholic Diocese of St. Petersburg has rejected a request by parochial school parents for a meeting to discuss questions they say their children were asked during confession.

The Cathedral School of St. Jude parents accuse Father Joseph L. Waters, 49, of asking at least eight children questions they consider inappropriate regarding what the children looked up on the internet and whether they masturbated.

They say Waters, head priest at the Cathedral of St. Jude the Apostle in St. Petersburg, asked the questions during confessions a few weeks before Christmas.

Parents organizations urge to bar sexual minorities' march in Petersburg

St. Petersburg, September 13, Interfax – Representatives of parent organizations ask authorities to ban gay pride parade planned by sex minorities for September 16-25 in Petersburg.

"They failed to conquer Moscow and hold a gay pride there and like fascists in 1941 they have focused all their effort on the city on the Neva. Today as before a blue division is moving to the "Northern capital", but it is not a "blue-blood" Aryan race," Russia's Council of Parents and Association of Parent Committees and Communities told the country's authorities in their open letter.

Its authors note that in fact "an open, legalized and effective promotion of vice and depravity" will take place in the city for ten days and this time will be enough "to ruin souls of thousands children and teens." They point out that many "international sodomite organizations, notorious gays and lesbians" have already backed up the festival.

"We are not ready to tolerate preachers of filth and perversion in our country as they have always been considered shameful in Russia. People who live with this passion should not bring their spiritual illness out in the streets of our cities and infect our children with it," the

letter reads.
