15: The Chaplain of Ground Zero

Father Joe was a great man, nothing makes this more evident than his call to Ground Zero on September 11th 2001. Despite every flight in the country being grounded that day, Father Joe somehow was on a flight later that morning to New York City. He managed to make it past the last civilian stop on the subway and onto the “pile” as it was called. He was made NYPD Police Chaplain that same day, and ministered to hundreds of first responders that needed spiritual guidance in the midst of 1.8 millio...

14: The Petition

How do we dismantle a theocracy - take out a pillar. The Erie County DA's office is the pillar holding this corrupt system in place by not prosecuting priests and John Flynn has repeatedly laid dormant while the Diocese has had its way with the courts… and how are we going to start? A good ol’ fashion Petition. Petitions have stopped the executions of death row inmates, changed street names, granted clemency to the unjustly imprisoned, and produced arrests in the face of corrupt prosecution. www...

10: The Secrets of October 13th

So when we left off we we’re in Buffalo on October 12th… We we’re at Sue’s house and we just had met with Frank - the day before the 10 year anniversary of Father Joe’s passing on October 13th, 2012 - which happens to be quite a cosmic anniversary in the Catholic world; 105 years earlier in Portugal, the Miracle of Fatima took place - and as we are leaving Sue’s after interviewing Frank for hours, the clock strikes midnight and he mentions Fatima. A miracle that Pope Pius XII himself said he wit...

7: The Hand & The Gun

No fingerprinting, No ballistics and no explanation as to why a gun that was turned into a Buffalo Police officer 14 years prior - was found at the crime scene. And despite the fact that no one can seem to agree on the placement of the gun upon arrival at the rectory there are other clues contained within the body and the Smith & Wesson short barrel .38 that will allow us to determine a framework of real possibilities.

5: Lottery Tickets and Taxes

We left off last episode at the crime scene the day Father Joe died… however to understand the circumstances surrounding a rectory that is now taped off and crawling with cops, fire fighters and first responders we must push the clock back even farther and rewind another month to September 12th 2012 when the diocese requests Father Joe to do an audit of St. Lawrence.

Jan 27, 202339 minEp. 5

4: The Crime Scene

We rewind to the morning of October 13th, 2012. Sue has equipped us with her brother’s phone records, schedule and calendar to produce a timeline. Father Joe's Twin Sister Sue is so well versed in this case, she can stack so much evidence against the alleged suicide of her brother in one fail swoop that it can leave you breathless. In awe, shocked something like this could happen in America…

3: The Exhumation

Rewind back to the Spring of 2015; where we left off last episode - Bishop Malone is still sleeping soundly in his bougie abode on Oakland Place - Joe Wedge has been asked to help exhume a body by a Priest, Father Rob Marino - Joe says he can’t turn down a favor from a Priest and he and Rob are friends after all…. There was no gun in the casket but they do find a curious second suture - was there a 2nd bullet wound? Perhaps the brain will offer more insight.
