By Anne-Gerard Flynn |
SPRINGFIELD — A retired superior court judge’s review of sexual abuse allegations against former Bishop Christopher J. Weldon, who led the Roman Catholic Diocese of Springfield for more than 25 years, found the accusations to be “unequivocally credible.”
Meanwhile, mandatory reporters in the diocese who first heard the alleged victim’s account failed to report the matter to law enforcement officials, according to the executive summary for a 350-plus page report released Wednesday by the diocese. The report is the product of an investigation by retired Superior Court Judge Peter A. Velis, who was hired a year ago to investigate the matter.
Velis’ report concluded “the allegations of the Complainant of sexual molestation committed upon him by Bishop Christopher J Weldon, both as a principal, and as a ‘coventurer’ that included anal rape, indecent assault and battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress are unequivocally credible. The allegations that were investigated and examined are not dubious, vague or ambiguous in any essentials nor are they the product of any chimerical conception, fabrication or schematic design. The unsavory and heinous nature of the offensive behavior attributed to the late bishop is clearly shocking.”
In an executive summary, Velis criticized the diocesan review board that heard the alleged victim’s account in June 2018.
“It was clear in my examination that the process included an inexplicable modification and manipulation of the reports received by and acted on by the Diocesan Review Board,” Velis wrote. “Additionally the complaint process was compromised in that mandatory reporters failed in their duties to report the allegations to prosecutorial authorities.”
Velis said that in “evaluating the actions of those involved in the Weldon assessment,” he found a “reluctance to fervently pursue an evaluation of allegations against [Weldon] due to his prominence and revered legacy in the religious community.”
Weldon died in 1982.
Bishop Mitchell T. Rozanski announced last July that Velis, who retired as a Hampden Superior Court judge in 2012, had been hired to investigate the allegations. Rozanski described Velis as a “truly objective person who will investigate the Bishop Weldon matter thoroughly, review how this situation has been handled by the diocese, and help identify opportunities for improvement in how the diocese handles these matters.”
The diocese described his hiring as “both warranted and the most prudent course of action” after what it called a “public disagreement” between the alleged victim and the diocesan review board.
Three months after the victim met with the board, he received a letter thanking him “for sharing details of your abuse as detailed in narrative relating to Bishop Christopher Weldon, Rev. Edward Authier and Rev. Clarence Forand.” The letter said the bishop would be advised that the board “finds your testimony compelling and credible.”
After the Berkshire Eagle published a story last spring about the allegations against Weldon and the other two priests — and questioned whether their names would be added to the diocese’s list of credibly accused clergy, as the alleged victim had expected — the review board’s chairman, John M. Hale, released a statement through the diocese, saying, “There was no finding against Bishop Weldon as the individual also indicated that the former Bishop never abused them.”
The alleged survivor, whose testimony before the board was witnessed by three individuals who accompanied him and said he did identify Weldon as an alleged abuser, then requested a meeting with Rozanski, where he reiterated the allegations.
After that meeting in June 2019, Rozanski filed a report on the allegations against Weldon with the Hampden County district attorney’s office.

People who make claims of clerical sexual abuse have those claims looked into by a diocesan investigator, who reports to the bishop and the diocesan review board. They may also give testimony before the board, as may the clergy member being accused. If the bishop accepts the board’s finding that an allegation is credible, the alleged victim may seek financial compensation from the diocese — though any such settlement is not an admission of guilt by the party involved.
The alleged victim who claimed abuse by Weldon did not have his claims of alleged abuse by the other two deceased priests disputed by the board. After his meeting with Rozanski, he stated his “impression was that the bishop ‘got it.’”
It is not clear whether he knew his allegation against Weldon would be investigated further. The appointment of Velis as investigator removed the diocese from having to issue any finding on the allegation against Weldon, though Velis had no powers to subpoena.
Earlier this year, Rozanski formed a task force headed by retired Berkshire Superior Court Judge Daniel Ford to review recommendations from Velis’ report.
Weldon’s 27 years as Springfield’s fourth bishop, starting in 1950, were influential in the growth of the diocese. However, they also have emerged as years when many allegations of sexual abuse by clergy occurred — as well as the murder of an altar boy in which a former priest, Richard R. Lavigne, remains the only publicly identified suspect.
Weldon has been accused of interfering with investigations into that murder. There have been reports that those in the diocesan hierarchy with ties to Weldon — who also had sexual abuse allegations made against them — destroyed files related to pedophile priests over the years.
Diocesan lawyers have denied any such documents were destroyed.
Weldon, who served as bishop from 1950 through 1977 and died in 1982, is the second Springfield bishop to be accused of sexual misconduct.
The late Thomas Dupre resigned as Springfield bishop in February 2004, a day after The Republican confronted him with allegations that he had abused two young men.
A grand jury investigation indicted Dupre on child sexual assault charges in September 2004, but not on obstruction of justice and conspiracy charges. He was removed from public ministry by the Vatican in 2004. He was never charged with two counts of child rape because then-Hampden County District Attorney William Bennett said they fell outside the statute of limitations. Dupre died in 2016.
PAT SAYS
This deceased priest / bishop was a using young people in the 40s, 50s and beyond.
He was abusing in consort with other priests.
It is most likely that his abuse was reported but like so many he was just moved on to another parish.
And, in spite of the abuse he was made a bishop.
It’s the same old story, over and over again.
Even when a priest or bishop is dead it is important that the matter is recorded and investigated.
The living victims need to be listened to, believed and helped in anyway needed.

Any other, secular organisation with as much sexual-abuse and criminal baggage as the Catholic Church would have been shamed into folding long before now. But it is the massive self-delusion and self-conceit that this organisation is of God that enables these hierarchs, without conscience and without the capacity for shame, to continue peddling to the world the adulterous lie that they are a moral authority for the Almighty himself, and that they have something to say and that they demand its supposed gravitas be taken seriously. If it weren’t such a mad, Alice in Wonderland pantomime, these clerical creeps would have been forced to leave the world stage by relentless public pressure. And this pressure is the only thing that has dragged these men to where they are now in terms of limited self-awarness on the need for canonical reform and for child protection.
Who, fifty years ago, would ever have thought that innocent children would need to be protected from ‘men of God’. An incredible paradox at the time. The world truly is in a state of chassis. But as Chesterton remarked, paradox is just truth standing on its head.
The best thing the Catholic Church can do now is just disappear. Society does not need it, does not want it, and will no longer tolerate the criminal arrogance of its clergy.
Failing this, it would be preferable if its hierarchs, slow learners at the best of times, acknowledged what the rest of the world already recognises: that their claim to be a moral voice in the world is an absolute joke. And that it is exceedingly far from funny.

I agree with your sentiments about the RCC, and would go further.
I believe the whole of religion is a duplicitous shibboleth foisted on dependent children.They unquestionably assimilate parental and communal belief systems. These then become so psychologically and emotionally personally embedded, and reinforced by communal practices of observances linked to rites of passage, that even when those children pass into independence of thought and action, they maintain believing dependence in the whole religious facade. They then go on to replicate the deception in their own progeny. I shake my head at local papers full of First Holy Communion pictures of smiling children invariably with the Roman collar clad priest in their midst. More “lambs to the slaughter”!

I know this is your blog, + Pat, and you are the editor, but today’s offering is pretty uninspiring, and the sort of things we know already, and have seen too often with other instances of abusing priests and bishops, and coverup bishops. There’s one in the news at the moment of some diocese in Poland where the Pope has removed the bishop. Plus ca change plus c’est la meme chose.
We know bishops and the Church find themselves out of step with so much of the world, including the laity in the Church, and so often are fighting rearguard actions in support of teaching and thinking that simply is not sustainable anymore. They find themselves stuck and incapable of development and new ideas. Recently in the USA the Catholic bishops found themselves opposing a Supreme Court judgement that dealt with discrimination of LGBTQ+ individuals in the workplace, claiming that it was perfectly acceptable for them to continue sacking gay Catholic employees when they wanted, whilst parroting the tired mantra about respecting all individuals for their inherent dignity. Not when it comes to sexuality, however !
https://www.ncronline.org/news/opinion/can-us-bishops-support-discrimination-against-lgbt-be-sustained
I’m sure there will still be ways that the Catholic Church will be able to continue discriminating against certain groups of people in spite of judgements like this – mostly on the grounds that they have some kind of spurious exemption from the law as a religious organisation or that they do not take public funding. More like any excuse to carry on acting on a discredited and vindictive set of teachings that targets people of difference, and to hell with their inherent dignity a children of God ! I really don’t see how people like these bishops are able to mouth these words with any sincerity. It smacks of totalitarian, authoritarian, fascist control of a system that is fundamentally wrong. Remember, when one group is treated like this it is only a simple step for other groups and individuals to be treated like this by the Church, so it should be of interest to us all.
I have long since begun to think for myself and to sift through the monolithic teaching of the Church, and discarded that which is clearly unsustainable, invented, mechanistic, illogical, irrational, unjust, and just plain mad. Some of the nonsense they expect us to believe is just….well unbelievable. What I do care about more is looking for justice and compassion in what the Church says and does and where I find that I will support it. But where I see ingrained, dysfunctional, nasty, vindictive and just dolt-headed stupidness, then I detach myself.
By the way, and as an indication of the warped priorities of the Church, or their ingrained prejudices, it took only 2 hours for Archbishop Gomez of LA and the president of the bishops’ conference int the USA to deliver his riposte to the supreme court judgement; it took him 5 days to say anything about the murder of George Floyd and the reaction to that in BLM. If there is a whiff of sex, sexuality, difference, the genitals, the loins or any other salacious matter, then he will be all over it in short order. If it has to do with a substantial issue of justice, then it can wait, apparently. I think that says a lot about the dysfunctional prism through which Catholic bishops view the world, people and issues.

I wonder what the situation with LGBTQ+ Church employees is in Ireland and the UK ? Is it still possible for Catholic schools to sack an employee for being LGBTQ+ or being in a same sex relationship ? I think it is proving more difficult for them to get rid of someone just on grounds of sexuality, especially if it is a state funded school. If they take public state money, then they should have to respect the law of the land, which bans discrimination on any grounds to LGBTQ+ people. I’m sure bishops and VGs will have all sorts of ways of finding reasons to get rid of someone if they want to, however, just so that it slips under the law. And still they will be teaching their pupils about Catholic social justice – which extents just so far as they want it to, but certainly not to people who have some kind of difference of sexuality or lifestyle.

Mmmm, @1137 ? And how do you get around the fact that most faith based schools are funded by the state and the state does not allow for discrimination on grounds of sexuality or lifestyle, except where that is against the law ? I think what you will find is that most faith based institutions are increasingly finding it difficult to argue that they are exempt from the law of the land, from which they receive funding, and are increasingly being challenged where they do act as if exempt. Perhaps they should stop receiving state funding, then they can do what they like, although that increasingly is going to be difficult as times goes on and the state insists that the law of the land is implemented and that there are no exceptions, even for religious organisations. Isn’t it an irony that the secular state has to be the upholder of dignity, respect, justice, compassion – while the Church just cherry picks and chooses what it fancies, whom it likes, and against whom it will act with prejudice and discrimination / And, invariably, the criteria for that on the part of the Church is sex ! Obsessive compulsive, if you ask me ! Not much integrity in that as far as the Church is concerned, I would have thought. I know which institution I would put my trust in.

1.01: MMM – In reply to your query about the number of clergy who are revealed as sexual deviants. I wish I could give you a complete and thorough answer. I am appalled at the statistics. In my childhood and teenage years I have recollection of just one priest who was very strict and a little weird. Ssdly he was accused of sexual abuse but I nor any member of my family ever experienced abuse from any cleric. Mostly we had good priests who seemed very committed to their work and community. Caring, approachable men, prayerful too but very human. A few over the years had their own personal traits that made the awkward but not abusive. When I first witnessed sexual abuse in the early 80’s by a lay person, I ensured, without guudelines, he was moved out of contact with groups in our Church. I went to civil and church authorities then – out of instinct that this was egregious, morally wrong and criminal behaviour. The courts made their judgments years later. I am very vigilant ever since re: abuse of any kind and speak out frequently. I hate abuse against anyone in any situation – be it emotional, physical, spiritual, mental or sexual. Whn I witnessed any such abuse I confronted the perpetrator, advising some to relinquish their responsibilities in the parish. All abuses are repugnant. In the deanery I belong to with about 30 priests, not one of us has ever had any accusation of abuse or misdeeds levelled against us. In 42 years as a priest, the only clerical abusers I know of are the many whose names are in the public domain. I do believe that many men entered seminaries with some sense of “vocation” but because of the prestige and education offered, parents were often pushy, domineering and powerful in influencing a son to “stay”. Never a good reason to be a priest. Also, the clericalism and specialness attributed to and assumed by the Church created an unhealthy, powerful dominance in too many areas of public concern and morality. The unquestioned authority of the Church and celibate priesthood was and is a major, contributory factor in on-going abuse. God help us. I waken each day to new questions about my life as a priest.
