a long time jews have carmen who kept this box closed shoved into a dresser drawer. this year he returned to these journal entries from high school finding traces of his encounters with a catholic priest psychological killer sexual predator who poses ashes on the forehead of his helpless victim ashes contain fingerprints ashes are earth fetish symbol turn him on. to super members the smell of this priest cologne and what kind of candies he kept on his desk this is a jew new year yearbook he also remembers something more painful which for a long time he tried to forget there is more this name father patrick. i do remember there is something with a belt buckle. something with a belt buckle just the action of the belt opening in the sound of the the

claim king of it him touching my leg. rubbing up and down my leg and and that was the thing that was like well that's not supposed to be happening. joseph is not alone. several other men have come forward in a series of exclusive interviews with fault lines. they allege years of abuse at the hands of father john patrick in catholic schools across new york city he just said the violence. glass something everybody. sparking the latest revelations in a decades old scandal that's shaken the catholic church to its foundation going to spare us 2 months of the tough mark on the family right timothy dolan the archbishop of new york told the 2 and a half 1000000 catholics under his watch to rest assured i heard that what you want is accountability transparency and action to counter the c.

he claimed that there were no active priest space incredible abuse allegations in his archdiocese clergy abuse he said was largely a problem of the past. our investigation into father patrick revealed a different story while they were allowing these these predator priests to frolic around aimlessly on the streets of new york with open access you know under the shield of a collar it's a story that raises questions about new york's catholic hierarchy and whether it's need or has put the prestigious of the church above the survival of its pickton's i wonder if there was someone that went right up to knock on the door of same patches of the drill and said father so and so did this to me. how long would it take for a father so and so be removed or suspended from that ministry. how long would it take for the investigation to begin i think it should not take more than you know an hour instead of. a week a month. a year but there's

a moral obligation for you really are you willing to tell your priest because i'm sure there are 2 monsters in malta more allegation by you that i should have thought you were willing to put your in harm's way everyone must tell you no they stop what do you think the church should do stop hiding. this man who we'll call gabriel never forgot the abuse he faced as a 12 year old catholic school student so that's the church and you see the way the black rufus a hat that's rectory today this view from his home serves as a constant reminder that when you look at the window now you can see the church what do you think about. just how that destroyed like you. really get back

to kill us right here in the center of manhattan's washington heights neighborhood sits incarnation parish and school. was supposed to be a refuge for gabriel who grew up without his parents paint a picture for me about what your life looked like a bad time. pretty last. straw to last. me your motion to think about. that. everything was cool school and my grandma grandma was very sick it's not that. bad it was just me and her. it was 1904 and father john patrick had just been ordained his 1st post would be

gabriel's church. there's a photo here where a little altar boy is jumping into father paddocks arms and then father patrick says these are my children pressing the boy's head closer now i look at all children that i deal with as my children. gabriel was one of those altar boys he told us that father patrick molested him during confession for 2 years how do you get always i'm confessing you don't have a crowd do you some one on one thing. confession was i'm sitting on a chair. he's sitting directly in front of me is knees one is here the other one's here ok he's got his left hand behind your head and his right hand is here and his right hand would be from your knee and sometimes end up over here most of the part and then he would you know and actually point and touch and say do you use that to

you masturbate say the truth oh do tell him he'll marys. do you think you were mentioning before that you felt like he would prey on certain people i think the most the more vulnerable people yeah. you know quiet kids what makes you think that he was going after vulnerable kids. because i was definitely one of them. think about it. what parent is going to complain to you that his son is being touched inappropriately and i want. gabriel almost canceled our interview he said it made him sick to think about these memories. but the father of 2 knew that father patrick was still out there. as you face any consequences for their actions you know. how you still hurting right.

with kids. out. for this investigation we spoke to 5 men who say that father patrick abused them. their attorneys told us the allegations form a pattern of abuse in catholic schools from the early 1980 s. until the early to thousands these are the people that know one another and then in the aggregate as are coming forward telling thin same and similar stories a pattern of behavior is there and we got to sort of survivors have come forward from 3 different girls. survivors of different ages from different boroughs at different facilities and told the same story monsignor product using his position of authority isolates those boys either at the school or in some cases in his bedroom in some cases at the church wherever the opportunity may

present itself. by 2001 paddock was an academic dean in staten island where jews have carminow was a student. high school who was difficult for joseph j.s.t. of joy care of here's what's happening her she'd been suicidal and was hospitalized missing weeks of class has been making children of all ages when jews have returned to school father patrick told his parents that he'd keep their son's medication in his office i think of my students today who are 1617 years old and they have their issues they have their troubles and they go to people for help. and imagine taking advantage of that person in that unique situation. that's the worst of the worst to take advantage of someone in their time of most need. their most vulnerable.

in march 29th teen joseph reported father patrick to the archdiocese. but months later patrick remained inactive priest here at neutered on parish in upper manhattan. we went there on a sunday in june just as he finished saying mass. i have a question for you do you know joseph car my no joseph joseph hermano. he says that sexually abused i 68 back i lent. you don't know him he's not the only one we know of several other men think. he would. drink fast and. take you thinking i. could actually spoken to many of them and they say the reason that there is because they don't want children to be unsafe and to go after what they were actually really father paddocks denial echoed what he told the media in march it's really hard to

speculate because that's when a man named raphael mendoza student front of the church and told his story. that the school was circular or being all that robert says slowly or too much evidence but patrick said he still had the support of the archdiocese direct quote was right now i know i do he said i even spoke to the cardinal. cardinal dolan how long do you think that cardinal dolan will continue to protect you as more men come out with their stories and. father patrick said he didn't remember joseph but joseph told us he can't forget father patrick. were very very serious and. i had this stupid d.v.d. of like these clips maybe i interviewed him or something for the t.v. news i don't know with each discovery from his archive jews have seen counters when

the priest came into sharper focus and there it is the junior ring ceremony mask i had forgotten that i was the elector at the mass that he was the celebrant of the mass. be seated. it's called the very name. the only church to separate from the bible and father patrick sat right behind him and there's no possible way that he could forget who i was based on the number of interactions i had with him the only thing that would make sense to me is if you know if i was just another kid that he touched and it was like you know one in the same. faceless nameless you know that was his way of justifying it blocking it out that's the only thing i can think of just another kid that he touched yeah it seems to be quite a number of us you know. patrick's accusers had reported their

abuse to family friends and therapist years ago. but for a long time these men.
