John Wojnowski, America's Prophet

We have had in our midst for almost 24 years now, a true Prophet – just like the Biblical ones. There should be another book in the Bible to describe the colossal change in the World’s conscience and consciousness about Pedophilia that John Wojnowski has had such a significant part in bringing about. It is his phenomenally, historically long protest, his unrelenting, his very public and courageous testimony to the evil that was done to him and to so terrifyingly many others, that has forced many of us to face up to this monstrous, pervasive Church evil – an evil abetted by official actions to hide these crimes that stem from the celibacy-requirement (institutionalized largely due to greed) of the Roman Catholic Church.  As with other Prophets, John has had to abandon any kind of normal life and instead must make an extraordinarily difficult, costly, and lonely effort in order to keep reminding the World of an evil that is endemic to and epidemic in the Roman Catholic Church. He has been endlessly insulted and even injured by the not-so-Christian but definitely Roman Catholic prelates at the Vatican Embassy in front of which he has stood. I spent two years protesting torture of the more well-known sort during the last years of the deeply evil Bush-Cheney administration, a year protesting the Obama administration's support for the Tar Sands Oil pipeline, and now Trump and the Republican Party's anti-life, anti-God, and anti-American democracy actions. It is hard work. But I go only once a week, and it takes less than an hour to drive there and back. John now goes only a day or two each week because he lives much further away and is much less physically able. For 18 years he went every working day and stayed longer than me. It now takes him over six hours worth of public transportation in a day. I mention my presence next to John only to describe the reality of his ordeal and to testify to the repeated verbal abuse that the Vatican officials dish out to him as they pass him by (Catholic but not Christian...?). Just as in its inglorious and amazingly foolish past, the Catholic Church has not accepted the blame that is its due. It does not seek to restore John - and thereby themselves - to health. They instead blame him for reminding us of their sin. They will not change their ways, and so John must help the World to see this and to make them change. Had they compensated John for the ruination of his life from his abuse by the Pedophile Priest, he certainly would not have kept up his vigil, but the unwise and demonstrably uncaring, unChristian, and sinful Catholic Church leadership has once again - as so often in its past - NOT been willing to correct itself and so must continue to be exposed. Therefore, on behalf of the World - especially its children - I say thank you to him and pray for God’s abundant blessings upon His uniquely valiant servant, John Wojnowski. And I also pray for forgiveness for the child abusers and their protectors in the Catholic Church since their sin is so extraordinarily grievous given that they - who are supposed to be the caretaker-protectors of God's human family - are actually terribly endangering it.
