| "Father" Fernando Gonzalez Ortega |
(KRGV.com) A Brownsville priest was arrested on several charges of trafficking and sexual abuse of a child, according to a news release from the Cameron County District Attorney’s Office.
The news release identified the suspect as Fernando Gonzalez Ortega, a priest at St. Luke’s Catholic Church in Brownsville.
Ortega was arrested on Monday on charges of continuous sexual abuse of a child, continuous trafficking of persons, sex assault of a child and sexual performance of a child, the news release stated.
Details on the investigation against Ortega were not provided by the district attorney's office.
In a statement, Rev. Daniel E. Flores of the Catholic Diocese of Brownsville said Ortega was removed from his ministry and prohibited from exercising "any priestly ministry anywhere" on Feb. 3, after receiving the sexual misconduct allegation.
"The diocese will fully cooperate with the investigation," the release stated.
Ortega was arraigned Tuesday morning and had his bond set at $800,000.
As part of his bond conditions, Ortega must surrender his passport and remain in Cameron County while these cases are pending, the release stated.
You should know that priest don't have sex with boys because they can't marry, they have sex with boys because they are homosexual pedophiles. They could marry and they would still be homosexual pedophiles.
ReplyDeleteI don’t think I specified the sex of the priest’s prospective marriage mate as it could be either sex. Yet, still, you're correct in that married priest could still be a pedophile. My contention was simply that the prohibition to marry imposed by the Catholic church is a contributing factor to the deviant sexual expression among priests.

ReplyDeleteProhibition of marriage by priest is not a "factor in deviant sexual expression among priests". Pedophiles have fixated sexual attractions to children not to adults. It is children that turn them on, when they fantasize about sex it is about sex with a child not an adult. They don't get into the priesthood with the hots for mama but since mama isn't available to them begin thinking about children. They go into the priesthood already masturbating to the image of children. I suspect that some, if not many, enter the priesthood hoping it will somehow cleanse them of their sexual attraction to children or hoping that the strictures against sex in the priesthood will enable them to resist their impulses toward children. I'm guessing it works for some but, even so, they are pedophiles, just not active pedophiles. Just as they were before they joined the church. Keep in mind, a pedophile doesn't become a pedophile because there are no adults available to them for sex. They don't want to have sex with adults. The church could have woman falling out of the windows and he may take tea with them, they may even hit on him but when he thinks about them and sex it is their child he has his mind on.
ReplyDeleteNo disagreement with anything you've written. Certainly, the appetite for pedophilia goes beyond sexual gratification. Would you agree, then, that the Catholic Church's policy of excluding married men from the priesthood creates a vacuum that is filled to a certain extent by pedophiles? My wife is a nominal member of the Philippine Independent Church which mirrors Catholicism in many ways except their priests marry, no confession and, of course, they don't view the pope as infallible. I'm not saying the religion has zero pedophilia, but knowing what I know about the Philippines, I doubt the practice would be dealt with as leniently as in the U.S.
DeleteThe profile of the victim came out to be a women but when the abuse started she was 16 years old.
