Father Mark has now filed a civil suit against the archabbot, towey, and a bunch of others. I hope he prevails and that the defendants are dragged thorugh the mud as they deserve to be. Maybe lack of character is an understatement! Michael Yates Jim, Thanks for the comments. Father Mark has now filed a civil suit against the archabbot, towey, and a bunch of others.

He lived near me and I gave him a ride home every now and then. I spent time talking to him and can tell you that he was deeply religious and an extremely intelligent man with a great character. Regardless of everything written here, Mark was a true believer of God and His Son. I’m sure that that fact remains true. While I was there, there were a few rumors about priests having girlfriends. To my knowledge, none of them were ever investigated or punished. If what they say about Mark was remotely possible, why would they respond the opposite of the way they have responded in the past? This appears to be a witch hunt on the part of the administration. I am deeply saddened with their lack of character. Mark, if you see this, please take comfort in the fact that my prayers are with you. I went to SVC while Mark was there. He lived near me and I gave him a ride home every now and then.

Towey is a vile, hypocritical politico with no business in charge of what could be a center for academic excellence.

Where you belong I suppose. To paraphrase Gradgrind in Dickens' novel, How about some facts? I actually went to the college, and I know something about it. What do you know? Not much it appears. But, pray tell, enlighten us. Funny how you cranks get right down into the shit. Where you belong I suppose. To paraphrase Gradgrind in Dickens’ novel, How about some facts?

If my comments are bar talk then yours must be toilet talk. disagreeing with you and recognizing that a devout atheist might have some barriers in assessing the state of a Catholic University hardly makes one uniformed.
