robert says slowly too much of the paddock 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. father patrick said he didn't remember joseph but joseph told us he can't forget father patrick. we were very very serious. 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.
1:33 am
it's called even 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 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 didn't file lawsuits or seek prosecutions against the priest
1:34 am
. that's because new york's restrictive statute of limitations law made it nearly impossible for them to do so the legal system should be geared to the needs of the victim not the needs of the perpetrator or the institutions that caused it and essentially we're opening the door of the courthouse so when the victims ready they come forward for 17 years legal scholar marcy hamilton has fought for laws that give victims of child sex abuse more time to file claims. and in state capitals across the country the catholic church has been her adversary there's a sense of entitlement that they deserve respect and they deserve deference but nobody is going to get respect or deference is so long as they endanger children and that's what they're doing so long as they lobby against the victims in the state legislatures they're on the side of the pedophiles. this year
1:35 am
1000 states and the district of columbia brought in the statute of limitations for child sex crimes when new york's law went into effect in august to sit and hundreds of survivors filed lawsuits against the archdiocese of new york. i didn't think i would be able to do this i didn't think i would be able to tell anyone but when i found out that after now 8 of us have come forward and he's still in ministry in manhattan. it's something further had to be done jews have became the 2nd man this year to go public against father patrick. but his attorneys pointed to an even earlier claim back in 2012 another survivor just like mr care mon-el came forward he came forward he reported to the archdiocese the actions of monsignor product he reported to the district attorney the actions of monsignor
1:36 am
paddock i was with him during that report those years ago this is your proof of claim what does this say here 62712 in 20122012 this man who we'll call hector filed that initial report here rico who committed the acts of sexual abuse or other wrongful conduct father john and particular hector was a 17 year old student at cardinal hayes high school in the bronx that's when he went to father patrick for help dealing with the sexual abuse he'd faced as a child somebody is close to the family. a child a child unless when i was 5 years old. and i'm blogging me so the school. i'll talk about it and get it out and move on. but i said it's a wrong person. and he just sort of venice
1:37 am
a fellow has. just gone towards the pods. comfortable. back again he grabbed both of the handles like to stop when he was holding the handles on the chair what do you think he was trying to say with that stop moving the stop move. and i left out the room a little baffled as to my head and my knowledge is. because i just thought something was wrong with me. the archdiocese investigated hector's claim and cleared patrick of wrongdoing the archdiocese has known about the allegations against monsignor katic for years more than 6 years. those allegations have been kept quiet by the archdiocese they chose to believe the offender who had been accused and who had no doubt deny it and then silently and
1:38 am
quietly continue that offender in ministry from that day to this that's what they chose to do when we met father patrick at church he agreed to an on camera interview the next day he changed his mind and we ended up on the phone with him. they all have sort of strikingly similar stories and that's where you know it starts to get a little hard on telling us. there's. something wrong. would you pull them close to you is that would that be sort of a traditional way that you would counsel them as i point them close to you just. try scored a skirt or i don't know so. i'm ok would your knees ever be touching their ears. ok
1:39 am
would your knee ever would you ever have your knee inside their leg or anything like that certainly not consciously in your consolation process would you ever see yourself like rubbing on their on their leg are on their thought oh. never ok did you ever remove any students close any student or alter always clothing or any reason. so did you ever examined them medically examined them no you never did you never examined them. with a stethoscope no oh ok. ok all right yeah that's one of the claims that the few of them made was that you can't was. there was patrick for years it appeared the products parishioners were not aware of the claims against their priest and here's pat in 2015 presiding over
1:40 am
a confirmation mass through it all it seemed that father patrick could rely on the support of the archbishop and here is a picture of cardinal dolan and raising a glass with his buddy father paddy. looks like they're pretty close friends. as a cardinal dolan is among a select group of the vatican's most powerful men. for a time there was even talk of him becoming the next pope. he promised respect and obedience to me and my successors to god the speaker this could work you know bring it just so. we wanted to know how long cardinal dolan would take father panix word over that of his accusers. once again we found ourselves in church looking for a chance to greet the man who catholics refer to as his eminence.
1:41 am
as dolan greeted parishioners he appeared to be in good spirits. that began to change once we asked him about father patrick the archdiocese and now in about 6 of these things against father having for 7 years now and i was wondering why is he still in active ministry is what is necessary to be resounding in this but there's a moral obligation are you willing you are willing to take the free speech those who prescribe sure there are genuine shooters in multiple allegations or are you going to ask you are you probably are you. are you willing to her arms away are you willing to her in harm's way and like christ. they should call everybody starts with one thing in welfare before us and. what messed up their families or i'm going to bring himself up tell you no they
1:42 am
stopped a. priest 14 years old they didn't want to walk you know he's an old we don't have stop. and thankfulness and plagiary are going about the welfare of children in need to carry the worries there are many sure that a thank you thing found it or you know about it for 7 years i said who are financing since this and is the 1st chance. it's dolans policy to suspend a priest while the church investigates allegations of abuse against him. but when we spoke to patrick on the phone he seemed confident the dolan would keep him in ministry and what's the message to the public that a priest that's been accused of sexually abusing children gets to remain in their job as a priest still working with children while things like. the archdiocese has a 0 tolerance 7 policy and are substantiation. on
1:43 am
it all. and i don't want to go on a week after our encounter with cardinal dolan we got an update on paddocks case. the priest had sent this letter to his congregation after consultation with our no golan and for the good of you the parish and the church i have decided to step away from my role as pastor here and there to gone to stepping away. we still had questions where would patrick be during the investigation and where was he now. and he could be anywhere. in the boats in the park or the beach. you know he still is listed on the parish website as pastor. his letter to the parishioners basically said i'll be back when this all blows over . bad is the story of the catholic church abuse scandal is that
1:44 am
a perpetrator is identified and they either then disappear into another parish or they disappear into another state or they just evaporates they are gone. archdiocese officials declined to answer our list of written questions. however they revealed that father patrick hadn't just stepped away he'd been suspended. the rectory where father attic lives it's right up here it's right next to the church he stepped away from the church a few weeks ago but he didn't say where he was going or what he would be could be doing while this investigation takes place. when we returned to the parish weeks later patrick was still there inside the church compound. father patrick. nice to see you to meet you again
1:45 am
yeah we were wondering if you might have a few seconds to. go. to do that. but i know that there's been a lot that's happened in the last few weeks and we were just wondering where how you're feeling now and what's basically you know here if you're not in active ministry anymore are you going to stay here in the. here. where you're going to go during this time. you can't disclose where you're going to be are you going to be in ministry at all. because you can tell us. well now we know where father patrick is he's still here in the rectory but he couldn't tell us where he's going to be. during this investigation or even if he's going to be in ministry which is interesting. in september a review commissioned by cardinal dolan concluded that there were no active priests
1:46 am
under his watch facing substantiated abuse claims. meanwhile the archdiocese faced 2 new lawsuits accusing priests of abusing minors at least one of them is an active ministry. this is left all of our people you bewildered frustrated and angry our good and faithful priest demoralized in a spaceship somber and contrite. i have also heard this chilling comment more than once cardinal dolan we've been so let down that we're beginning to lose trust in you bishops. that stings without your trust i don't have a lot left. so i would ask him. she lost my trust. what do you expect to do about that.
1:47 am
i know you don't want this out there i know you doubt but have you asked for forgiveness so is your holy priest. and why the being the one and that's what. i want to say as is because i know and he knows i wouldn't just. in the land of the free the cost of medication is killing people this particular pill is going to be anywhere from $800.00 to $1100.00 and citizens are desperate the entire bus load of americans coming to wal-mart in kunar the to buy insulin because just where they can afford it faultlines investigates the spiraling costs of prescription drugs in the usa i will have to make a decision as to when to stop treatment and choose to die so that i can leave my husband with enough the cost of living on.
