Being a forth generation Roman. Catholic and fighting Child predators in the church I came to the conclusion that
everyone in the church dose not care period. Horrific people
hide behind the word of God. They will burn in hell for turning
their heads.

Before we start implying that Father Bullman is a child predator, let’s remember that that isnot what he is being charged with. It is also clear from the story that he is cooperating with
the investigation. This is definitely a controversial and emotional issue, but we need to stick
to the facts of this case as we understand them right now. I hope this comment section does not
spin off into spurioius accusations of child abuse because of nature of the case.

I have been a Catholic all my life and the thing that has always frustrated me beyond toleranceis the way modern Catholics, (obviously not all of us) but a staggering amount of us are loyal
to the Church and not the teachings of their lord. Especially when it is so painfully obvious
that the two are existing contradictory to one another. It’s our job as Catholics to abolish
evil from Jesus’ church because it’s ours as well. Christ preached love and empathy, he asked
his disciples to feed the hungry, cloth the poor, heal the sick, and to protect those who can
not protect themselves. Every child that is baptized and every one who is not, falls directly
under the protection of our lord and savior. So you can stick to your Loyalty to Human beings,
but as a Catholic person I will strive every day to follow Christ’s teachings, as the truth of
them has never changed.
Even if the offenses are restricted to child porn, isn’t that enough for you to realize there
is a disease that can not be ignored any longer. Even just the images he has on his computer are
an affront to the Love Jesus bore towards us. Stop rallying around the disease and trying to
minimize its evil. When we die and have to face Christ he will review our entire lives and what
will you do then, when you come to this moment and your rationalizations and compromises are all
gone because you cant lie to the lord and even if you could He would know. So stop now and do
what the Bible instructs: if your appendage offends then chop it off or cut it out. Don’t down
play evil of any kind, find it and cleans it from Our Church from our Faith. Take this as
notice, our children are not your prey our churches will no longer be your brothels and safe
havens for your disease. You can no longer hide behind the collar. So honor your Oaths serve
the lord and his people not your personal demons. We are Catholics and WE ARE WATCHING.

For anyone who thinks that he is not guilty…read this! This shows that the detective and thecriminal investigator not only found images on the DS, they also found images on his home
computer! If this is not proof enough, what is? So sad!

Hopefully anyone, who may have knowledge or may have been harmed by Rudolph Carl Bullman, willhave the courage to speak up and report it to police, not the church officials.
Keep in mind your silence only hurts, and by speaking up there is a chance for healing, exposing
the truth, and therefore protecting others.
