David Domet, devout Catholic publisher of Vox Cantoris is an outstanding inspiration in my life.
Eleven long years after last hearing him sing the hauntingly beautiful ‘Salve Regina’ as the cantor at St. Patrick’s Latin Mass in Kinkora, a church once visited by Rosary Priest, Fr. Patrick Peyton, I can still hear him singing.
The Latin Mass at St. Patrick’s Church in Kinkora when my dear friend, Fr. Paul Nicholson was still pastor there, was the first time I was blessed by Latin Mass since I was a little girl.
The memories of my being there still hold steadfast in my heart and soul, and always will.
I attended David and wife Frankie’s wedding at St. Patrick’s and gave them a lamp as a wedding gift. A burning lamp in a troubled, tossed-up world is how I still think of them.
The burning lamp, known to me as David and Frankie, burned all the way through their persecution by the once powerful Catholic priest, Fr. Thomas J. Rosica, who sued them in 2015.
Amidst the worry of this couple losing their home with a lawsuit hanging over their heads, the couple saw their blog reach 11,183, 475 page views!
To this day Vox Cantoris posts the Canada Free Press logo on their blog. It is the only Catholic outlet that does.
Yesterday, David proved that persistence pays off in truth telling, writing, “Justice comes, One just needs to be patient”.
Hats off to you, David Domet. You make CFP and many others so proud of you!
On June 29, I wrote a short blog post that a certain Toronto priest which multiple sources confirmed, had his faculties removed. I can report now, that priest was Thomas J. Rosica, CSB. I was unable to report what I also knew at the time, that a Toronto priest working under Rosica on World Youth Day, 2002 was sexually assaulted by the Basilian priest. The assaults began in the late 1990's. The suit filed in the Ontario court and which is now public information states that the relationship. “allowed Rosica an opportunity to be alone with the Plaintiff and to exert total control over him, prey upon him and sexually abuse him." further, it states that Rosica repeatedly "groped and fondled" the sexual organs of the young priest. This was known to the writer nearly a decade ago after the attempted frivolous and vexatious lawsuit against me. However, at the time, I was sworn to secrecy and unable to report it or reveal my source.
The lawsuit also goes after the Congregation of St. Basil for not properly supervising Rosica. As someone who himself was physically abused and battered by Basilian priests at the age of 13 and took it to the Congregation directly 40 years later, and as someone unjustly sued by Rosica, I can assure you that the Basilian Congregation is as much at fault and derelict in their duty to God and to His faithful.
The suit further states that “The Basilians knew or ought to have known that Rosica had engaged in deviant behaviour and failed to investigate such. In failing to investigate and identify any past failings of Rosica, they also failed to identify any victims who may have been in need of counseling, assistance and support because of the actions of Rosica." Yes, the Basilians knew, They all knew and they all covered it up!
Rosica, of course, denies the allegations just as he denied he was a serial plagiarist which this writer first exposed in 2015. In response to the Court, Rosica claims that he “infrequent ministerial contact with the Plaintiff between 1996 and 2002, but denies sexually abusing or sexually assaulting or making unwanted physical contact or engaging in any improper conduct with the Plaintiff.”
Rosica asked the Court to dismiss the lawsuit claiming that the process is governed by Canon Law. Rosica did not choose the path of the Church or Scripture in his desire to sue this writer but rather chose Ontario's court system. The hypocrisy is there for all to see.
In June 2024, Tom Rosica was witnessed coming out of a Toronto gay bathhouse
Justice comes. One just needs to be patient.
