BOSTON — A watchdog group that documents the clergy sex abuse crisis Friday added four names to its public database of priests and other religious leaders accused of sexual abuse.

BishopAccountability.org, an online research site that has chronicled the clergy sex abuse crisis since it erupted in the Archdiocese of Boston in 2002, named clerics with the Congregation of Christian Brothers, the Dominican Order and the Salesians of Don Bosco.

The four are Rev. Sean Rooney and Brother Alan Scheneman who were members of the Salesians, Brother William Hennessey of the Congregation of Christian Brothers, and Brother Julius Martin Mattingly who was assigned to the St. Stephen Priory in Dover.

False doctrine breeds corruption.

I wonder how many names they’ve added to the Public School Teacher Sex Abuse List?....

Even a denomination with zero percent false doctrine will have a congregation with 100% of its members being sinners. Not sure what false doctrine has to do with it.

Its one of those doctrines that says, “My religion is better than yours because I prayed about it and I farted twice therefore god told me I was right.”

You don’t have to be crude about it.
