The present: In that shadowy underworld of parish financial wheeling and dealing carried out while affecting public openness.

Catholic Brackettville, Texas 78832.

The past: Where a habitual sex offender in a roman collar found refuge for nine (9) whole years, courtesy of certain members of the Knights of Columbus Council 8223.

Who knew a good source of extra $$$ income $$$ the minute they knew what they had to shake down.

By either participating directly in the so - called chicken trade -- under world slang for procuring boys for sexual predators -- or -- for a $$ price $$ -- simply conniving in it.

The Present: again! Where any number of former male altar servers born between 1970 and 1985 more than likely still bear the trauma from this depraved monster in shattered marriages and ruined lives -- both their own and the women so tragically involved.

Like maybe seven (7) to nine (9) Hispanic couples and three (3) to five (5) Anglo couples.

The male victims' ages would now be anywhere in the 25 - year to 40 - year range.

And, now? :)
