VT Headlines: Vermont Catholic Church receives bankruptcy court’s OK to sell Rutland property
I think it’s a conflict of interest and VERY hypocritical if Vekos is trying cases, especially DUI cases, when she has legal proceedings against her. For once, the Democrats are doing something right in not supporting her.
Maybe they’ll turn on Sarah George in the future for not doing her job?!
Non profit to buy the building from the pervert Catholic church real estate holdings, in Rutland, to pay off debt. This looks to be another tax sucking operation pushing the low income bull… fraud. When will the taxpayers in this state say enough and put an end to this crap????
Re: ‘Vermont Catholic Church receives bankruptcy court’s OK to sell Rutland property’
First, it’s the church. The parishioners, as private individuals, are next. Bankruptcy courts will soon be overwhelmed.
So, that’s not true at all, but maybe they shouldn’t have molested all those kids and then tried to cover it up, Jay.
You’re right. My mistake. By law, no, individual parishioners who supported the Vermont Roman Catholic Diocese (or any other U.S. diocese) can be held personally or financially responsible for clergy sexual abuse or the resulting settlements. Whether or not that is an ethically appropriate ruling is, apparently, left to one’s personally imposed verdict on judgement day.
Seeing how God’s not real, but the victims of his chosen messengers are, if you believe this is an ethical quandary fit to only be answered on Judgement Day, then I would assume that you are the type of person that needs a book of 2,000 year old stories to tell you how to live and I’m good with that “debate”
Whether you believe God is real or not is a deflection from the discussion. We’re talking about sexual abuse. After checking the law, I learned that individual parishioners are not liable, personally or financially, for their clergy’s sexual abuse. That happens to be the law. And that means, whether or not you or I believe it’s ethical that parishioners aren’t liable, it’s a personal judgement. I initially stated that the individual parishioners ‘are next’. And you corrected me. What’s your problem?
Re: “Two central Vermont elementary schools could face closure due to financial strain
Students would attend nearby schools in the event of closure”
Headline corrected: When two central Vermont elementary schools close, the local citizens and parents will be able to reopen them as private schools, save 30% of the current financial costs and control their own curricula.
The new schools will still be paid for by the property tax.
Are you saying that the public has no responsibility to support the education of their children? Or are you simply concerned that the revenue comes from property tax instead of another public revenue source?
Yes, VT needs to fill that humongous building to capacity with out-of-state homeless people and create yet another drug den just like these phony non-profits (with all SALARIED employees making a handsome livelihood from the never-ceasing builds & reno’s for “affordable” housing all over this once beautiful state) did to all the motels in VT from one end to the other! Yay!
Why not begin now in stationing several Rutland police cruisers all around the main entrance, so the neighborhood residents can immediately get accustomed to the additional flashing lights, sirens, & commotion in the area! I can almost hear the sirens echoing throughout the night from here!
Phony, hypocritical, atheistic, enabling, opportunistic bleeding hearts destroying the state.
And Vermont saves the world! Again!!!!!!!!!!
Sure.
Chris….you must be right! I mean, considering merely only approximately 87% of the global population believe in God including over 75% of physicians, the majority of scientists, and knowing of the plentiful proofs of God rather recently uncovered by modern science (all already LISTED & POSTED a number of times under past VDC articles which can be again located through your own personal perusal should need be) instead point to you & the dwindling group of atheist or agnostic “scholars” numbering just over 5%, truly convincing!
By the way, Merry Christmas to you & your family.
Good one, Kathleen.
Kathleen, I’ve seen your “evidence” and you barely know how to navigate this site, let alone cite a source. The Shroud of Turin is from the 1200’s via radiocarbon dating. According to Pew Research, only 33% of scientists believe in God. The bigger point is that I don’t care. The people on this site who are the meanest and most judgmental (like you dropping racial slurs last week in the Castleton article, how christlike) are also the most religious and that is all the correlation that I need. I’m not going to argue back with you, because if you need to believe in an invisible sky lord to get through your day, then good for you. The problem is that too many people use him to justify their bad behavior.
Chris,
I read and re-read Kathleen’s comment on the Castleton and found no racial slurs. The only thing I saw, was that when she typed in the name (Paul) Yoon, autocorrect changed it to what I believe you perceived as a slur. My iPad did the same thing.
Chris, I never cited any particular site in the lists of evidence that I compiled and offered here on VDC, but rather over a dozen proofs that each can be easily & readily be accessed online and/or in the many of hundreds of books available written by scientists, PhD’s, theologians (doctoral), academics, physicians, etc. You must be willing to investigate those yourself.
The latest statistical data with regard to scientists & belief in God by Pew is that the 33% you refer believe in Christianity specifically, but a majority believe in “some type of deity”, with Pew concluding that “a significant portion of the scientific community holds religious belief”. Considering the intrinsic bias and overt discrimination that scientists who make their beliefs in God/organized religion known have historically faced, actual numbers are likely even higher. Lastly, the remaining minority are more inclined (as data confirms) to be agnostic or “unsure” – and not atheist as might be assumed. And again, over three-quarters of physicians believe in God as well.
You can continue to repeat the ignorant and highly childish phrases you use in conflict with the sound science & multiplicity of evidence that aligns with the reality of God, but atheism is decreasing and the leftist/Communist mission to discourage belief and participation in Christianity, specifically, has failed miserably – again, especially worldwide.
Chris, you can believe the earth is flat, man never walked on the moon, Communism is grand, and that there is no God – but your abject lack of proofs that support any verifiable criterion for such an argument is nonexistent and continues to give air to absurdity.
In the end, it is your own personal intolerances and anger toward Godly peoples that stings of any “bad behavior”, nonetheless I hope the season might bring you a sense of peace in struggling with the rage you so visibly harbor.
This is what I’m going to miss come January 1. When called out on your behavior, you become all polite and respectful, yet still move the goalposts. I like how in the face of my evidence, you come to your own conclusions. Well based on 50% of scientists believing in a higher power, I don’t think there is a higher power, because how can everyone be right?
This will be our last exchange. Please don’t put words in my mouth. I don’t have any anger lol, you are the one who comes here hurling racial slurs and screams in all caps talking about what a tough New Yorker they are. It’s called projectionism. I don’t care if atheism goes up or down. you’re still a racist and the Shroud of Turin was still the imprint of a statue made in 1255. You don’t have to believe it, because I don’t care either way. I’m not the one who comes here calling confusing religion and science https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/04/science/shroud-of-turin-oresme-philosopher
Oh, and btw Chris – your personal knowledge of the Shroud as you bring up the long, outdated “radiocarbon” testing (performed back in the 1980’s) only further exudes your complete unfamiliarity of the ancient artifact & modern tests which have compelled most scientists to now conclude the relic to indeed be the burial cloth of the historical Jesus.
Again, for your perusal, please see the list of procedures & types of updated, cutting-edge testing performed which I conveniently compiled and posted on VDC (older articles can be easily accessed online & perhaps you might ask Guy for assistance if you cannot negotiate that process) only within the last four or so weeks on that very topic, so you no longer feel compelled to refer to such obsolete data in an effort to supposedly support your very faulty conclusion.
When I went to college in the early 90’s, one student there, an older gentleman, said he was an atheist. He always had to mention it no matter what we were discussing. He was always going on with GD this and GD that. Finally, I asked him,” Bob, if you are truly an atheist, as you proclaim, why do you always ask God to damn things for you?” He shut up and did not talk to me for months. I thought he was going to cry.
Chris: First of all, I’ll post yet again if I so choose. I don’t require your permission. For anything.
Secondly, what precisely were the “racial slurs” I launched at anyone? Did you report them?
Third, you have yet to provide any iota of “evidence” of your “belief” that God does not exist, and you’ve already been alerted to the fact and to the reality that again, your long obsolete data regarding the textile in question is not either relevant or accurate and hasn’t been for decades.
Not sure what school you might have attended, but capitalization in grammar was never discerned to be “screaming” but rather used as a means to emphasize as boldface type often is. UNDERSTAND? See?
Lastly, New Yorkers are typically & often notoriously hardy, tenacious, and “tough” and that long-established reputation has been well deserved; The current POTUS is but a perfect example.
The myriads of proofs of God and the intersection of faith & science are detailed and confirmed within the plethora of scholarly based videos/texts/articles on but one website below:
