The Miami Herald is now reporting that the Vatican and the Archdiocese of Miami — for decades — were aware of the troubled past in Cuba of Rev. Ernesto Garcia-Rubio (here).
“The Archdiocese of Miami, along with top Vatican authorities, knew as far back as 1968 that the Rev. Ernesto Garcia-Rubio, a priest later defrocked amid child sex-abuse allegations, had a troubled past in Cuba before transferring to South Florida…”
The Miami Herald previously reported in a serious of stories that the Rev. Ernesto Garcia-Rubio had sexually abused a number of male teenage Nicaraguan and Salvadoran refugees.
“The complaints against Garcia-Rubio — first lodged at the Sweetwater church — eventually surfaced in The Herald story, which highlighted four sex-abuse allegations by teenage Nicaraguan and Salvadoran refugees from 1983 to 1988.”
I suppose that the USCCB, the Catholic Church and VOLAG, thinks that we aren’t going to hold them accountable for this because the crimes happened several decades ago. Nothing could be further from the truth. The accountability has simply been successfully DELAYED.
