   Peter Balili is clearly in hiding. I have found photos and videos of him, but don’t know where he is today.

   I’ll keep searching.

   The Warning from the Diocese of Bellville, yes was certainly couched “inappropriate behavior”, we know it was much more than that if they “dismissed Fr. Balili”, even worse THEY urged the priest to flee (they said return) back to his home diocese. Is it not disturbing that they call on ANYONE who wants “further” information to contact the diocese?

   Well if you read all 3 warnings, all three call on anyone with information to “Contact the diocese for further information” what FURTHER information do they have or are they hiding? Did they immediately inform local authorities?

   Well not in all cases…The WARNING issued by the Newark Archdiocese to the Catholic Conference of Bishops (a communication that is meant for Catholic bishops and church officials, NOT meant (otherwise we would learn of such warning EVERY MONTH they issue thier bulletins) to be made public, states the Father Manuel Gallo’s faculties were removed due to an allegation of sexual abuse against a minor. In fact Fr, Gallo is accused of giving alcohol to, then raping a 15 year old boy. When the boy reported the crime to a Catholic Charities nun, Fr, Gallo said himself, that the leader of the local youth group, and a man who is now a priest of the Archdiocese of Newark, urged Father Gallo to leave the country at once. So if the Newark Archdiocese who has known about this crime since reported in 2002, when the ink on the Dallas charter was not even dry and the whole world was learning of this systemic crimes committed against children, how is it that the Newark Archdiocese NEVER told the police where this priest was living when they learned he was in Maryland? Now that the story has become public Father Gallo has once again fled the country and local law enforcement have now re-opened the case. Read the whole story here: http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2015/07/have_you_seen_father_manuel_priest_accused_of_rapi.html

   Be sure to read the comments after this story where Father Gallo POSTS his admission to abusing this child, yet he is still a priest according to the Archdiocese of Newark, even though he states he is not. Had he NOT been a priest, then why did the Newark Archdiocese issue the warning to thier own bishops to begin with? Bishops who will, very likely, NEVER come across the path of Fr Manuel Gallo Espinoza, but WHY would they not tell the faithful where he ministered, why would they NOT notify local police? They issued an amazing statement, like I had never seen before IN BOTH SPANISH AND ENGLISH, taking an entire page of a parish bulletin in 1 parish in which he served. When did they do this? Only in March of 2015, even though this warning went out in August of last year and the assault was committed in 2002. Why in March of this year one would wonder? The Archdiocese learned at that point a local newspaper was about to print a story about this priest and a lawsuit was filed against the Archdiocese, a public document.

   So I hope law enforcement were the very first to call the phone numbers listed at the bottom of each of these warnings, so they could learn more of the “Further information” these three diocese have about these priests, so professionals can investigate and determine, why in fact they were dismissed from ministry and urged to leave this country.

   OC Bishop Kevin Vann ……….photo above

   “A picture is worth a thousand words.”

   The only word that the dear Bishop should be made aware of is “COMEUPPANCE.” Appears like he is long overdue for a case of that comeuppance.

   Okay, back to the “thousand words”……….smug, arrogant, hubristic………
