Urgent Call for Action! The leadership in the Cleveland Diocese has proven time and time again to be totally incapable of spiritual leadership by its years of scandalous mismanagement, abuse of sex abuse victims and the Faithful in general and its increasing resistance to correction. Indeed that leadership is increasingly participating in the destruction of our Church and its faith by not only encouraging the enemies of the Church and their agenda in this diocese but by actively obstructing and persecuting those who have attempted to maintain the Catholic faith and obedience to the Holy Father and the Magisterium in this Diocese. This persecution has included priests themselves who have been effectively silenced by this abuse. In wake of this most tragic state of affairs we are calling upon all the Faithful to join in three spiritual offences against the looming Forces of Darkness enveloping this Diocese.

1. EARNEST AND SUSTAINED PRAYER AND FASTING for the removal of this obstruction to holiness and truth in our Diocese and for the reclamation of the many souls of those who have been spiritually destroyed by the evil that our Bishop has allowed and encouraged in this Diocese-including the reclaimation of his own soul.

2. ACTION IN THE PERSISTENT AND UNRELENTING PHONE CALLS OF PROTEST to every appropriate Diocesan agency and office at every offence and abuse we report on this site. Those in these offices and agencies share in the guilt for the rebellion and moral scandals racking this Diocese by their failure to confront their Bishop about his abuse of office and his failure to honor his oath of office and uphold the Church and its faith in this Diocese. Remind these servants of the Church their duty is to correct an erring brother if they wish not to have his blood on their own hands.

3. ACTION IN JOINING US IN PRAYERFUL / PROTEST at the selected sites where these offences occur. Your reports of such abuses are very important need to be documented. If an abuse is merely witnessed it must be signed by the witness with address, phone number and date. .
