Note:

The information cited in the archbishop's letter concerns the by - now well - known impending public relations nightmare involving accusations of a parishioner against a certain deacon, the Rev. Mr. Joe Goebel, to the effect that he, the parishioner, was not merely told, but according to him, anyway, actively encouraged -- to attend services at the Kingdom Hall of the Jehovah Witnesses in Del Rio, Texas, to study everything they gave him to study such as their ideas of the last book in the Bible, "Because Joe says they're much more advanced than we [Catholics] are, etc." or so this informante expressed his understanding to me in words of same or similar effect.

Note two:

This same informante assured me that the Jehovah Witnesses gladly opened their pockets and gave him $cash $money for "traveling expenses."

Note three:

They also indoctrinated him in how to maintain shear hatred for the Catholic Church, and of how, in at least one instance, he could share their "history" of how nuns routinely murdered their babies and buried them on convent grounds in one of Mrs. Elizabeth "Liz" Goebel's so - called Faith - Sharing meetings on parish property, and in the presence of two wide - eyed minor children.

Because Mrs. Goebel was (and I am sure still is!) acutely aware of her husband's foolhardy and continued involvement in all these anti - Catholic activities, she was careful to keep silent herself, and strove to prevent this man from being challenged by any of the rest of us present.
