Here's a cool fact about Jamie Allman

Several years before going on twitter to talk about sodomizeing a teen age boy.

He was the spokesman for the Archdiocese of St Louis who covered himself in glory by lying about and covering up for that very same thing.

"What Jamie will need to learn is that he is not dealing with a child's innocence," Bach said. "Officials in the archdiocese have been trained to deal in deception by the previous administration, in addition to the current one.

"Why and how else would the sexual abuse cases exist?" Bach asked. "People had to have known that they existed, yet they knew how to manipulate and prevent information from being released. This is not innocence or lack of understanding.

"I think Allman needs to stay away from naïve or flippant comments, like '… the archbishop has promised them the moon, and the stars with sugar on top.' He needs to do his research prior to speaking so that he doesn't damage his credibility. We are not interested in fairy tale promises," Bach said.

I see that he's never heeded the good advice offered in that last paragraph

McClellan is a well respected journalist in this area. Truthful, pointed, matter of fact. No lies.
Archdiocese in STL when Burke was in charge was IMO, h*ll. My name for him was Burke the Jerk. Everything the guy did, said, endorsed made me feel as if he believed the time was the early 50’s and he was Jesus on earth.
Kinda funny Allman suddenly was let go by the Archdiocese. Scary was when Burke was brought to Rome, by the last Pope. He had a penchant to dress in frilly cardinal dressings from geez knows what century, cap, veil, gloves etc.
The current Pope removed him from the position where he placed into one where he could NOR push his particular agenda.
Allman currently has a crack pot 1/2 daily show on the local Sinclair station, ABC affiliate
