IN the NEWS - Back to Buffalo

But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
Genesis 13:13


"The rector of the seminary in the diocese of Buffalo, New York has suddenly stepped aside amid allegations of homosexual assault.

Church Militant has confirmed that Fr. Joseph Gatto, president-rector of Christ the King Seminary, announced on Wednesday that he was taking an immediate leave of absence and Bp. Richard Malone of Buffalo has appointed an interim rector, Fr. John M. Staak, O.M.I. Local news outlet WBKW is reporting that, on the same day Gatto announced he was leaving his post, it became privy to allegations of Gatto homosexually grooming a young man during a counseling session.
The man... attests, "On one occasion he [Gatto] grabbed my knee in a suggestive manner, and invited me to a 'cabin' for a weekend with him alone. I declined, and ended any further communication."...has also learned that clerical and nonclerical sources within the diocese are affirming Gatto used his position as rector of the seminary to solicit homosexual favors from new applicants to the seminary. Sources say applicants who did not comply with Gatto's requests were not admitted to the seminary program."
