People aren't guilty until proven guilty in a court of law. Bishops could remove those unfit. But to castigate an entire order of nuns for something that may or may not have been done by a small minority is not right either. Some of those nuns led lives of sacrifice for children, and to paint them all with the same brush is calumny which I cannot participate in. Even if I have some gut reactions, I can't go runnning off at the mouth and bash people I don't really know one way or the other if they are really guilty.

I fear we won't know the whole truth until Judgement Day, and we all won't necessarily be privy to that.

In the meantime, I and I hope others on this forum will pray for you and your family and hope you find peace. Gilbert is a little saint no matter how you cut it.

I just hope you are able to find peace without destroying innocent people in the process.

I cannot take sides because I am at a loss to properly evaluate the facts that have been presented, and think you are fighting a losing battle. If anyone really thought your case had substance they would have smelled blood in the water and come forward to offer their services.

It's too bad you can't find a way to let it go. Maybe you could talk to a deacon down in Texas and he would treat you with compassion and try to find you appropriate help. I really can't help but to wonder how you would be treated by him if you went to him asking for help with this problem.

Nobody is going to go out on a limb for you, mainly because they can't without possibly joining in false accusations. We simply cannot know for sure. Even if I sat on a jury, I would have a hard time with what you have presented. It could be interpreted a lot of different ways.

Fighting on the internet and accusing people by name isn't my thing. I just wanted you to know that I care about what happened to you, your family, and your little brother.

If it is true what you allege, I hope justice prevails in this world and the next.

To: Aliska

First I want to thank you for responding to my post. There are obviously very good people who know about our tortures, but have no understanding of how difficult it is to lose a little brother to murder and beating.

I am truly not seeking to destroy decent caring people. But all of us have the God-given right and
the Constitutionally-guaranteed right to the benefits of the system of Justice. I do not want to castigate an entire order of nuns for what some of them did. But it must be admitted that if there are truly a number of innocent, good, and upright nuns, they would or should take the lead in bringing real Truth to my family about our little Gilbert. The "good nuns" could help make right what was done by the others.

I mean to cause no harm, but I must do what is right while searching for the Justice that has been pushed aside by the Albany County District Attorney's office, and especially by Bishop Howard Hubbard, who oversees the Albany Diocese. I believe that Bishop Hubbard himself knows of the murder of my little brother. I believe that Bishop Hubbard knows of the beatings and sufferings of many little children, and has altered and/or hidden the records of those incidents.

In spite of the hardships you might find because I am looking for justice for my murdered brother Gilbert, I intend to continue to do what is necessary to expose the truth and to expose the lies of Bishop Hubbard.

I am sorry that you feel you have been caused grief, but I beg you to stop and think of the grief that my family and I have had to endure. My crusade for justice must continue, and even Bishop Hubbard and his colleagues cannot be exempt.

Thank you, Aliska, for your hopes for our family and for your prayers for our peace. Most of all, thank you for knowing that Gilbert is a little saint now.

Thank you for hoping that we get Justice. I wish you all the best of what you need also.

Sincerely,
Ernest
