Lee was living two lives: one as a priest and another as a boyfriend and father. When he was discovered, he immediately took the role of a "whistle blower" in regards to sexual abuse committed by his fellow priests. He started a website http://unholysilence.com where he promoted his book and claims of inside knowledge regarding cover ups, pedophilia and homosexuality in the priesthood.
His Twitter account has been silent since November 6 and says on his bio, "Married Catholic priest who wants to bring the church into the 21st century & restore confidence in the Faith that Jesus taught us." Ironically, it was the Catholic Church who ushered in the 21st century with the Great Jubilee in the year 2000 initiated by Blessed John Paul II. Lee's mission to supposedly bring the Church into the 21st century has come to an abrupt end.
May God have mercy on his soul and may he rest in peace.
