Frank Pavone Accused of Sexual Harassment

Frank Pavone, the former national director of Priests for Life, has been accused of sexual harassment by two women who used to work for him. These allegations add to the list of reasons why Pavone was dismissed from the priesthood by the Vatican in December 2022. In this blog post, I will examine the evidence and testimonies that support these claims, and the response of Pavone and the Diocese of Amarillo, where he was incardinated.

The first woman, who spoke anonymously to The Pillar, said she worked for Priests for Life in Staten Island, New York, from 1999 to 2001. She said Pavone would often touch her hair, put his arms around her while she was at her computer, and make comments about her appearance. She also said he would invite her to his private quarters in the office building, where he would show her his personal belongings and ask her to file paperwork. She said she felt uncomfortable and trapped by his behavior, but did not know how to report it or escape it. She said she eventually left the organization after Pavone tried to kiss her on the lips.

The second woman, Jenn Morson, said she worked for Priests for Life in Amarillo, Texas, from 2005 to 2006. She said Pavone would also touch her hair, hug her tightly, and make remarks about her body. She said he would ask her to accompany him on trips and to his hotel room, where he would offer her alcohol and cigarettes. She said he would also call her late at night and talk about personal matters. She said she felt confused and manipulated by his actions, but did not want to jeopardize her job or the pro-life cause. She said she eventually quit after Pavone became angry with her for not answering his phone calls.

Both women said they complained to the Diocese of Amarillo about Pavone's conduct, but never received any feedback or follow-up. The Pillar reported that the diocese assigned Pavone and other Priests for Life employees to sexual harassment and "safe environment" training in 2010, after it received reports accusing the priest of misconduct toward young female subordinates. However, the diocese has not publicly acknowledged or addressed these allegations, nor has it explained why it issued letters attesting that Pavone was a priest in "good standing" who had "never been involved in an incident which called into question his fitness or suitability to fulfill the responsibilities and duties of his priestly ministry due to alcohol, substance abuse, violation of celibacy, physical abuse, or other causes."

Pavone has denied both sets of allegations, saying they are filled with "numerous inaccuracies, misrepresentations, and mistruths that have already been addressed." He has also claimed that he has been "persecuted" by the Church hierarchy for being "too aggressive" in his pro-life advocacy. He has not provided any evidence or details to support his claims or refute the accusations.

The allegations against Pavone are serious and disturbing. They suggest that he abused his power and position as a priest and a pro-life leader to prey on young women who trusted him and admired him. They also raise questions about the accountability and transparency of the Diocese of Amarillo and the Vatican in handling these cases. The victims deserve justice and healing, and the faithful deserve clarity and truth.

Pavone has been acting strangely since the death of Cardinal O'Connor. He refused to accept assignments to parish work from the late Cardinal Egan, Archbishop of New York from 2000-2009 and who passed away in 2015.  This led Pavone to move to Texas and be incardinated there where he acted strangely there as well refusing to obey the bishop and even refusing to answer Cardinal Dolan's investigation into the finances and operation of Priests For Life, an organization not officially affiliated with the Catholic Church in any capacity.  He also placed a dead fetus on an altar and aligned himself to MAGA and President Donald Trump in a manner that violates Canon Law which prevents priests from becoming political.  Recently, Pavone blocked our Twitter account after we asked if he saw the reports on him (see: Sacerdotus: Frank Pavone Blocks Sacerdotus).

'MrAtheistPants' David Silverman Suspended from American Atheists

American Atheists president, David Silverman was suspended from the atheist organization after reports surfaced that he engaged in sexual misconduct. The news comes months after atheist physicist Lawrence Krauss has been accused of the same (see: http://www.sacerdotus.com/2018/02/atheist-lawrence-krauss-accused-of.html).  Neal Cary, the chair of American Atheists Board of Directors issued this statement:


"On the evening of Saturday, April 7, 2018, the American Atheists Board of Directors received a complaint regarding David Silverman, the President of American Atheists. The Board takes very seriously the concerns expressed and, in accordance with organization policies, the Board has placed Mr. Silverman on paid leave while an independent investigation is conducted. Mr. Silverman has pledged his full cooperation with the investigation.
The Board, led by Vice President Kathleen Johnson and myself, will fulfill the duties of the President while Mr. Silverman is on leave. National Program Director Nick Fish will oversee the day-to-day operations of the organization.
While Mr. Silverman is on leave, American Atheists will continue our work protecting the separation of religion and government, elevating the voices of atheists in our nation’s public discourse, and supporting our members and atheist communities across the country.
We are committed to transparency and openness about this process and will release more information as it becomes available."













It is not news that atheists have a "Metoo" problem. Many women have complained of being mistreated by the all-white and all-male movement.  We shall see what action American Atheists will take.

Atheist Amnesia: Michael Shermer Sexually Abused Women Too!

In the age of the "MeToo" movement, many men have been accused of sexual harassment. These accusations turned out to be true after many of the accused admitted to the crimes. No social institution or group is free of this evil. Atheists who often claim that they are more moral than Christians also have a problem with sexual harassment among their ranks. Last month, atheist physicist Dr. Lawrence Krauss was accused by several women (see: http://www.sacerdotus.com/2018/02/atheist-lawrence-krauss-accused-of.html).  However, he was not punished for his actions. His place of employment did not even suspend him. While some have cancelled scheduled appearances by him, Krauss for the most part has remained shielded.  The atheist community has also been mute.  Perhaps attacking him will hurt the so-called "New Atheism" movement?  Atheists look at Krauss, Dawkins and others as leaders; in fact, I dare to say, in a "religious" way. 

The disgraced physicist is not the only one atheists have resorted to amnesia with. Dr.  Michael Shermer, publisher of Skeptic magazine and author of Heavens on Earth and other books has also been accused of sexual harassment and assault. Shermer claims to be a former fundamentalist Christian who saw the "light of reason." He writes a lot on psychology and neuroscience, but has no degree in the fields. His doctorate is on the history of science which he earned in 1991 at Claremont Graduate University.  Many atheists rely on his writings to make their arguments, especially on theists allegedly placing agency to things in nature which are attributed to God.  They rely Shermer for their conclusions without being honest that he is not an expert in the field. 

In light of this, many atheists hold Shermer in high esteem and are most likely shielding him.  In 2014, blogger PZ Myers who has taken on Shermer in discussions posted some emails where a women accused Shermer of sexual misconduct.  The blog post was picked up by BuzzFeed. A woman named Alison Smith accused Shermer of raping her. Shermer responded to the accusations by admitting that there was a sexual relationship, but that it was consentual (see: https://michaelshermer.com/downloads/Shermer-statement.pdf).  Many more women have come forward accusing the atheist publisher of sexual harassment and sexual assault.  Despite the accusations, Shermer still has a job and a talk by him at City College (one of my alma maters) is still on. This is unfortunate and a shame for City College. The university system should not be a platform for those who abuse women or anyone. It is a slap to the face of victims.  Chemistry Chair Raeanne Napoleon even alerted the college's staff about the allegations in an email hoping to get a reaction that would shut down Shermer's event.  She did the right thing. Unfortunately, the college took another direction and allowed Shermer to speak. Many faculty and students were not even aware of the allegations by several women against Dr. Shermer.

Atheism has a big problem here, among others. The movement is run by affluent white males who have made a habit of silencing their female compatriots and have taken advantage of them professionally and sexually. Atheists love to bring up the sexual abuse scandals in the Catholic Church from 2004, but fail to acknowledge their own problem with sexual abuse within their ranks.  While nothing can excuse abuse from Catholic clergy, the statistics pale in comparison with other groups.  Abuse from priests is less than 2%. Moreover, many of the sex abuse cases against priests are from over 40 years ago.  Many of the accused priests are dead or defrocked. The Catholic Church has done everything possible to prosecute the offenders and has taken action to prevent any new cases. What have atheist leaders done? Nothing at all!  They ignore women and protect abusers. This is why Mark Oppenheimer of BuzzFeed wrote an excellent piece on misogyny and how it will destroy the atheist movement. Atheists simply are indifferent to women and people of color.

Shermer, Krauss et al are just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. I expect many more renown atheists to fall from grace as women pick up energy from the "MeToo" movement and out these perverts. Time will tell how successful it will be, but something has to be done to protect women and others. Shermer, Krauss etc must be punished for their abuse of women in one way or another. They cannot be shielded nor given a slap on the wrist. Similarly, atheists are mute against gay atheist activist David Thorstad who founded NAMBLA and is pushing for the legalization of man-boy relationships. This is just disgusting and the silence from atheists is deplorable.

Atheist Lawrence Krauss Accused of Sexual Misconduct

The Bible says that pride comes before the fall in Proverbs 16:18. How true are these words! I have just learned that atheist physicist, Lawrence Krauss is being accused of sexual misconduct by women. Krauss is known for his sarcasm, ridicule of religious beliefs and an untamed arrogance. He seems to think that he knows more than everyone else, especially those "stupid religious people." Well, now he is on the spotlight.

Several women have accused him for decades. Melody Hensley, 28 was a makeup artist who joined the Center for Inquiry. This is a nonprofit group that pushes separation of Church and state and a intolerant form of secularism. Hensley aspired to be a leader in the so-called "skeptics" movement. During a CFI event that took place in November of 2006, she was approached by Krauss who asked for her card. What happened next was creepy. Krauss asked her if she was "of age." This question obviously had to do with the legality of consensual sexual activity. Hensley, a fan of the atheist scientist did not think much of the comment. She was obviously "star-struck." However, Krauss invited her to dinner in a email later on. Hensley told BuzzFeed News,

“I didn’t care if he flirted with me, I just wanted to be around somebody important, and I also wanted to get a job in this field. I thought I could handle myself.”

Krauss then invited her to come to his hotel room. He then flirted with her, commented on her eye makeup and violated her personal space. Afterwards, he forced himself on her by forcing her onto the bed underneath him and began to kiss her without her consent and even tried to remove her tights. Krauss then got a condom. As he did this, Hensley ran out saying "I have to go." Krauss claims that the encounter was consentual. Hensley informed her boyfriend who contacted CFI about what happened.

According to Buzzfeed News, this is not the first accusation against Krauss. He has alledgedly groped women, made sexist jokes, has been accused of ogling undergrads and even told an employee at his place of employment Arizona State University that he would purchase her birth control so that she ould not inconvenience him with any maternity leave. Case Western Reserve University and Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics have both banned him from their campuses.

Krauss denies the allegations despite numerous complaints, documents, emails and interviews with over 50 people. The majority of accusers have asked to remain anonymous due to fears of retaliation. They fear Krauss will attack them with legal retaliation or his male fans will target them. The atheist movement is made up of mostly rich white males who have displayed misogynistic tendencies. They have often smeared women who have spoken out against other alleged skeptics.

In 2007, an accuser named Nora (middle name) was studying at Case Western Reserve as an undergraduate student. She approached Krauss regarding how hard it was to be one of the few female physics major students. He then made an inappropriate comment saying that there must be many guys who ask her out on dates. On another occasion, she asked to do an interview him for a newspaper and he just closed the door of his office, made sexual jokes and invited her to dinner. She even wrote about this in the college's newspaper:

“There was even one particular creep of a professor who once told me he thought differently of me compared to other students and asked me to dinner: a situation so disturbing that it left me upset for weeks afterward.”

Despite not mentioning him by name, the dean of the school knew who she was referring to and told her to file a complaint. She followed through with his suggestion. The dean apparently knew of Krauss' predatory behavior.

There are many more allegations detailed in the BuzzFeed link in the sources. The news is disturbing and shows what happens when one lacks a moral compass. Krauss is one who claims that morality can be determined via the scientific method. He has dismissed philosophy and ethics int he past and has even debated one of my former professors, Dr. Massimo Pigliucci who is a stern advocate for philosophy.

Ironically, Krauss has tweeted about the "MeToo" movement and spoke out against sexual harassment. In hindsight, his comments show his hypocrisy.








I invite all women and men to report any inappropriate sexual harassment or physical contact to the authorities. The atheist movement has a sexual harassment problem which it refuses to acknowledge. It is a movement run by white males who are misogynistic and who protect predators. They contradict their alleged concern for liberal ideas regarding feminism.  These men never fail at bringing up predatory priests while ignoring the filth among their ranks.  Atheists should not let another's celebrity get in the way of protecting women and any men who are targeted by sexual predators among the atheism movement.


I invite all to contact CFI and Arizona State and demand that Krauss and other sexual predators be fired and publicly condemned.

Mario Batali Admits to Sexually Harassing Women

Famed chef Mario Batali famous for wearing the same clothes daily and orange crocs has been accused of sexual harassment by several women.  They claim that Batali made sexual advances and comments to them while working in his restaurants. Ironically, Mario Batali made comments against those who harass women sexually in restaurants by saying:

“I think the reckoning is coming across the board. It is a time for women and men to face each other across the board, across the table."

Everyone who works with him is in shock at the allegations. Batali did not deny them either. He apologized to everyone in a statement:

“I apologize to the people I have mistreated and hurt. Although the identities of most of the individuals mentioned in these stories have not been revealed to me, much of the behavior described does, in fact, match up with ways I have acted. That behavior was wrong and there are no excuses. I take full responsibility and am deeply sorry for any pain, humiliation or discomfort I have caused to my peers, employees, customers, friends and family.”

Batali stepped down from his restaurant empire and ABC has removed him from The Chew program until the allegations were investigated.  I recently saw Mario Batali while in New York in my old Little Italy Belmont neighborhood.  He was walking from Addeo's bakery with a camera crew. Batali was recently featured on a television series with the Walking Dead's Norman Reedus' motorcycle series.






UPDATE: DECEMBER 15, 2017

ABC has fired Mario Batali from The Chew. They wrote on their Facebook:


"Upon completing its review into the allegations made against Mario Batali, ABC has terminated its relationship with him and he will no longer appear on “The Chew.” While we remain unaware of any type of inappropriate behavior involving him and anyone affiliated with our show, ABC takes matters like this very seriously as we are committed to a safe work environment and his past behavior violates our standards of conduct. – ABC Spokesperson"

Neil DeGrasse Tyson Accused of Rape & Sued for Copyright Infringement

After the scandals surrounding the sexual harassment and assaults perpetrated by Harvey Weinstein, we have seen many men fall for similar things. Well, it seems one "star" is possibly set to fall from the sky, so to speak.

Ironically, this "star" works in the field of studying the real ones in space. Astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson who coined himself as America's personal astrophysicist is now being accused of sexual assault by a woman named Tchiya Amet. She claimed in a blog post in 2014 that Tyson drugged and raped her when he was a graduate student in Texas. She wrote:


"He offered me a glass of water. I accepted a liquid in a cup made out of a coconut shell. I recall coming back to consciousness briefly, then next thing I remember is seeing him in the hallway the next day. I have lived in this nightmare for 30 years, and it stops today."

"I know this will be difficult for many of you to believe, understand or to know. However, know that this is the truth. Those who know me well can attest to the fact that I lived with undiagnosed PTSD of [at] least 25 years."

"He talks about obstacles to reaching his goal of astrophysicist. Did anyone slip him a mickey? Perhaps this was his way of eliminating the competition….what a scam YOU are Mr. Tyson…"

"How does it feel to know that YOU are the reason there is one less [black] female galactic astronomer on this planet? Yes, YOU. How many freshman students did you give A’s to when they were failing? Were they really failing, or was that just an easy way to get free blow jobs?"

Amet claims to have been a student of Tyson's at UT-Austin where he began a Ph.D. program. It is interesting to note that Tyson had trouble at the university and transferred to Columbia. It is not exactly known why UT-Austin and Tyson had a rocky relationship.  So far, Tyson has not commented on the allegations and there seems to be no investigation taking place.  Everyone is innocent until proven guilty in this nation so we must withhold our opinions and wait to see if any strong evidence comes out that supports the allegations.  This does not mean that Amet is lying. It only means that everyone deserves due process.

Tyson is currently facing fraud charges by a former business partner, according to the Daily News.  A photographer and co-producer of Tysons famous "StarTalk" radio podcast named David Gamble filed a lawsuit against Tyson claiming that the aforementioned dismissed him while he was getting treatment for a kidney disorder and used his photos without permission.

Sexual Harassment incidents high among Youth

A recent survey conducted by the American Association of University Women has found that sexual harassment is on the rise in schools.  According to them, "Sexual harassment pervades the lives of students in grades 7–12."  The majority of victims say that this has had a negative effect on their lives.  The report goes on listing statistics regarding the harassment.

This comes as no surprise to me.  With the constant push for "sex ed" in schools by some along with the sexual messages the youth receive on a daily basis from the media, it is no wonder why sexual harassment is high.  

From movies to music, Tv programs and books, kids are being exposed to all kinds of pornographic messages.  If that is not bad enough, even at school they are given courses that make premarital sex and promiscuity appealing and necessary in order for them to function as a "normal" person in society.

Some say sex ed is not bad, "kids will find out anyway" they say.  Well with the constant bombardment they receive from music and other media forms, that assertion is unfortunately true.  However, that can change.  If parents monitor what their children watch, read and hear and explain to them that singers, hip hop artists, movie stars, etc are not interested in who they "entertain;"  that they just want their money and can care less what message they put in their minds, then this will assist in the youth's formation.

Supposedly we have something called the "FCC" which monitors the media.  However, they have been asleep at the helm for decades allowing all kinds of garbage to be broadcast and promoted.  Our youth are  fed sexual messages on a daily basis.  We all know the youth are impressionable.  They WILL imitate what they see or hear.

How many young people have imitated the stunts of crazy programs that show men doing stupid things?  The killers of Columbine high school dressed in their favorite rocker's dark attire and carried out his lyrics of violence.

Sex is a strong natural drive.  We are all biologically programmed to reproduce.  However, when the media changes that natural impulse into a drive for pleasure, social acceptance and some sort of rite of passage, then we get into the trouble we see now:  teen pregnancy, STD infections, sexual harassment, abortion and so on.

The media does not care what it feeds the minds of kids.  Parents must step their game up.  Sex education must be taken back by parents which is now in control of progressives who wish to corrupt young minds into accepting their twisted views on reproduction.

This is the reason why sexual harassment is on the rise.  Kids are being taught that sex and pleasure is what it is all about.   That being said, of course they will touch each other, harass each other sexually!  When you have people telling kids how to have sex and encouraging them to do it for their health, then what do you think those impressionable youth will do?   They will of course try the things they were taught.    

It is ironic that the Mayor of NYC wants to put photos of cancer victims on cigarette boxes using scare tactics, but won't put images of STD infections or people who died of AIDS on condoms and sex pamphlets that are given to youth.

   

Parents take your kids back from the system of moral corruption.  You're the BOSS!
