From Church Militant TV
An EWTN host is choosing silence over truth.
Teresa Tomeo, longtime Catholic TV and radio personality, is based in
Detroit, Michigan. Her pastor is Msgr. Michael Bugarin, sued by local
Catholics for fabricating a rape charge against their pastor, Fr. Eduard
Perrone, who wound up suspended from ministry based on the fake
allegation.
Archbishop Allen Vigneron, vice president of the U.S. bishops' conference, is also named in the lawsuit.
Vigneron serves as advisor to Ave Maria Radio, an EWTN affiliate where Tomeo broadcasts her radio show.
Tomeo maintains a close relationship with the archdiocese, recently
featured as keynote speaker at the seminary, and in wide demand to give
talks, conferences, tours and pilgrimages, making thousands of dollars
off Catholics.
Yet her silence on this historic lawsuit in her own archdiocese is
deafening, refusing to speak about it, ignoring and deleting queries
— even blocking this reporter from her Facebook page when asked for
public comment.
While fellow radio host Al Kresta, president and CEO of Ave Maria
Radio, defends her silence, he himself believes Perrone is innocent.
His comments to Church Militant: "I have stated my confidence that he
is innocent of the accusations against him. From the start I've been
disappointed and surprised that the AOD felt compelled to pursue this
course of action against Fr. Perrone."
Kresta has twice invited Perrone's attorney onto his radio show, yet Tomeo sits on the sidelines saying nothing.
Establishment media has rightly been criticized for staying silent on
Church corruption, beholden to the bishops, closing their mouths in
order to stay in the good graces of the Church hierarchy.
Tomeo's silence is proof of yet another establishment media
personality who appears to be choosing career and cowardice over moral
courage.
