A lawsuit filed earlier this month accuses the head of the Roman Catholic Church in New Hampshire of committing sexual abuse decades ago while he served as a priest in New York. In a lawsuit filed July 14 in state Supreme Court in Suffolk County, Bishop Peter Libasci of the Diocese of Manchester is accused of abusing a male youth on numerous occasions in 1983 and 1984.
The Diocese of Rockville Center, which includes Saints Cyril, said it had notified the Vatican of the lawsuit since the allegations involve a current diocesan bishop. It also reported the matter to the Suffolk County District Attorney.
The lawsuit also named as defendants the Roman Catholic Church of Saints Cyril and Methodius and the Saints Cyril and Methodius School in Deer Park, New York, where Libasci was a pastor. The youth, who was 12 or 13 at the time, was a student at the school ...
Libasci apologized for the abuse and said he prays daily that victims find healing and that we never allow such darkness to enter our church again.

These shithole parishes all claim to be out of money so they can avoid big payouts to their victims, some who commit suicide, or the victim's family. Yet these rapists and enablers just acknowledged they have over 5,000 properties worldwide worth hundreds of millions, if not billions. Nothing but a bunch of lying rapists and their enablers. FU Libasci.
