The Catholic Priest and the little boy.

David Wakeling

Cardinal Theodore McCarrick  was a traditional
leader of the Church in Newark.He was an
Archbishop and against abortion and same sex marriage,
He resigned from the college of Cardinals in 2018.
He was the frist Cardinal to be defrocked for sexual abuse.

He gave sermons on Sanday and took charge of the boys choir.
The boys rehearsed Monday nights and Friday nights.
Daniel Truss was 11 years old and had a divine countertenor voice.
He was the congregations favourite singer.
His mother that joining the choir would give him confidenc e.

“Daniel, I want you to stay back after choir practice.
I need you to see me in my room.
Don’t worry you are not in trouble.”

“Yes Father,I will be there”

“Arr Daniel come in boy, don’t be shy,
Now Daniel you know that you are a very good singer.
I think you should be put out the front and have some solos.”

“Yes Father of course”

“Now I love you Daniel, you know that and you know I would never hurt you.
But for me to let you sing solo in the choir I need you to
do something for me. Come closer Daniel hold my hand
and we can pray for God’s guidance.
Down on your knees Daniel we need to get started.
Now I need you to touch me.
Don’t be shy it’s just for fun. Just touch me here Daniel.”

“Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.”
