CMTV: Are Sarah Gonzalez' Stories Credible?

I have already discussed the issues with the Gonzalez story and something has popped up in twitter that further undermines its credibility:
A 38-year-old woman who hosted parties for teens — supplying them drugs and alcohol — at her Westwood house has been sentenced to more than two years in prison. ... Sarah Maria Gonzalez was sentenced Wednesday in Johnson County District Court where she pleaded guilty in May to endangering the welfare of a child and distribution of marijuana and hallucinogenic mushrooms.

So, Sarah Maria Gonzalez is not exactly what I would call a credible witness in that she herself was found guilty of supplying teens with drugs and alcohol.

To confirm this I looked her up on KASPER.  If you enter Sarah Maria Gonzalez you will get confirmation.  To speed your search, here's the docket number:

GONZALEZ, SARAH M   (KDOC# 0114611)

There are already holes in the stories being related by the Gonzalez', this is just another part of the torn fabric of this family. 

I saw them around campus back in the 80's and its sad to see how the family self-destructed.

Pray for them because theirs is a lonely, dark and dangerous path.

    What a cheap and stupid hit job, probably by one of the abusers. I met Maria in the late 90s, right around when her brother committed suicide. She told me all these stories. It’s a known trend that the abused often become abusers themselves. I’m sorry to hear Maria has traveled that path. But dismissing the horrors of her upbringing using her transgressions reeks of amateurish attempt at cover up.

      My original reply was longer. I would just point "host" to this article and as them to comment there.

The Curious Case of Steve Skojec and the Dangers of Deep Diving into the Crisis Sub-Titled: The Failings of Others

By
 + JMJ It's been a while now since Steve Skojec sold 1P5 and abandoned the Catholic Faith. I've been a 'Trad' since 1982 and in those 40+ years I seen this death-spiral before with a similar end point. It seems that anyone who jumps into the fray unprepared for the enormous task of righting wrongs will, eventually, become discouraged by not the task but the people who surround them.   I remember when Skojec complained of the treatment his family received from a traditional priest.  This seems to have been the start of the end for him. So what can we learn from the likes of Steve Skojec, Michael Voris (maybe?), Louie Verrecchio, Gerry Matatix and other celebrity Catholics? Probably quite a lot about what not to do. First, don't burn out on the crisis?  When you burn out, on work or anything else, little things assume a more greater importance than they are due.   This is one of my 'canary in the coal mine' signals that I've been stretching myself too th...

Homily vs Sermon

By
+ JMJ Something that I've noticed is that Modern Catholics use the phrase 'Homily' instead of 'Sermon'. I've often wondered about this difference. Here's what I found Catholic Encyclopedia (1910) Homily: ...Since Origen's time homily has meant, and still means, a commentary, without formal introduction, division, or conclusion, on some part of Sacred Scripture , the aim being to explain the literal, and evolve the spiritual, meaning of the Sacred Text.  ... Wikipedia Sermon: : A sermon is an oration , lecture , or talk by a member of a religious institution or clergy . Sermons address a scriptural, theological, religious, or moral topic, usually expounding on a type of belief, law, or behavior within both past and present contexts. Elements of the sermon often include exposition, exhortation, and practical application.   Catholic Encyclopedia (1910) Sermon: As to preaching at the present day, we can clearly trace the influe...

Becoming Traditional Catholic Part I

By
+ JMJ It is a big step from the non-Traditional to Traditional Catholic World. First of all, the Trad world is much smaller, isolated and under siege. This leads to a number of interesting elements that a person making the transition needs to take into account. The Trad World Is Smaller It is a fact that in the states there are about 30,000 Traditional Catholics who support the SSPX and about 3,000 in Canada.  The other Traditionalit orders (FSSP, ICK, etc), I assume, are in the same ball park if not smaller. Let put that in perspective, in my area there are 270,000 non-Traditional Catholics. Consequently, aside from the larger centers,  a Traditional 'Parish' or Mass Centre will be 200 people or less. This has the advantage of being like an extended family and cozy. It has the disadvantage that any crazy 'uncles' in that family will be in plain sight. Be forewarned that any eccentricity that would be drowned in a sea of people in a non-Traditiona...
