"...but certainly it would seem to me that he has every right to use the O'Connel's story on his website."
I agree. IMHO, O'Connel was a HERO who stood up to a pedophile priest to save a boy that wasn't even his own child! He was murdered for it, along with an innocent employee.
We seriously need more manly men to stand up to this cr@p. Everyone's so "PC" these days, they're more afraid of hurting the feeeeeeeeeeeelings of a sick & evil person than they are in protecting children! If men would stand up against pedophiles more forcefully, don't you think it would send a strong message?
What would YOU do if you knew of a child that was being abused by a monster like Father Erickson? And I could care LESS that he was a priest; I'm not Catholic-bashing in any way. Erickson could've been in any line of "work" and been a pedophile who should have been confronted.
We read about those creeps every d@mn day. :(
I'm thinking the family, in their grief, can't see the forest for the trees.
Think about it from the family's point of view. They run
a business, a mortuary. It might cost them business if their
name is associated with what some customers might think of
as a "hate group". Homosexuals die too, and they need
embalming, funerals and burial, and they have money to pay
for these things.
You can argue that it is immoral to do business with the
family of a dead homosexual or pedophile, but it's not up
to you, it's up to the business to decide.
