I was a seminarian with the Diocese of Sault Ste-Marie in Ontario Canada. While I was at the seminary, 2 priests tried to molest me. I told my Bishop Jean-Louis Plouff who then tried to blame it on me and told me that the 2 priests were disciplined and no longer priests. I discovered 6 months later that it was not true.

In order to live my priestly calling, I later joined the Ecumenical Catholic Church in order to be ordained (though my other colleagues (Roman rite) refuse to accept my ordination, my apostolic succession and offer to co-celebrate).

I believe that I was not allowed to live my true calling base on what the Roman Church has imposed (no married priests / celibacy) and that others were given the right to determine my future. How in Christ’s image can this be!

I dream of the day that I may live my priestly calling in the Roman Catholic Church and not refused because I had to get married in order to continue to life and faith and that the Church (Bishop Jean-Louis Plouff) lied and refused to do what was right.
