    Hierarchical cover-up of the crimes of pedophile bishop Anthony J. O'Connell Synopsis: The diocese of Knoxville, Tennessee, is the center of a decades-old cover-up of the crimes of pedophile Bishop Anthony J. O'Connell, first bishop of Knoxville. Patterns of behavior of a cardinal, an archbishop, two bishops and a monsignor highlight failure to report to police and wanton disregard for the safety of children. Evidence shows the cover-up began at least in 1994 and continues today. 1963 – Anthony J. O'Connell is ordained in Diocese of Jefferson City, MO. Become teacher at St. Thomas Aquinas Preparatory Seminary in Hannibal, MO. Was here for 25 years as teacher and then rector/principal. 1988 – O'Connell is appointed first bishop of the Diocese of Knoxville, Tennessee. 1993 – Matt Cosby tells counselor and 2 faculty members at Kenrick Seminary operated by the Archdiocese of St. Louis, MO, that O'Connell molested him at STAS. None of these faculty members and the counselor reported O’Connell. 1994 – T.L. tells Bishop Lawrence Boland of Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph about abuse by O'Connell at STAS. Also tells Boland tells T.L. that the dioceses want to “like to keep these things quiet.” https://10afqfuiq4lj5l2k.vistaprintdigital.com/article-2-phillip-o'connor http://www.bishop-accountability.org/news3/2002_04_19_Stearns_SuitSays_John_Tulipana_2.h tm 1994 – In May 1994, Christopher Dixon tells Bishop Michael McAuliffe of Diocese of Jefferson City, MO, of O'Connell's molestation at STAS.

  • General History the Diocese of Vincennes—Now the Archdiocese of Indianapolis—Was Established by Pope Gregory XVI on May 6, 1834
    General History The Diocese of Vincennes—now the Archdiocese of Indianapolis—was established by Pope Gregory XVI on May 6, 1834. The territory then comprised the entire state of Indiana and the eastern third of Illinois. The latter was separated from the Diocese of Vincennes upon the establishment of the Diocese of Chicago, November 28, 1843. By decree of Pope Pius IX, January 8, 1857, the northern half of the state became the Diocese of Fort Wayne, the boundaries being that part of the state north of the south boundaries of Fountain, Montgomery, Boone, Hamilton, Madison, Delaware, Randolph, and Warren counties. The remaining southern half of the state made up the Diocese of Vincennes, embracing 50 counties. It covered an area of 18,479 square miles extending from the north boundaries of Marion and contiguous counties to the Ohio River and from Illinois on the west to Ohio on the east. The second bishop of Vincennes was permitted by apostolic brief to establish his resi- dence at Vincennes, Madison, Lafayette, or Indianapolis; Vincennes was, however, to remain the see city. This permission, with the subtraction of Lafayette, was renewed to the fourth bishop. Upon his appointment in 1878, Bishop Francis Chatard, the fifth bishop of Vincennes, was directed to fix his residence at Indianapolis. Although the site of the cathedral and the title of the see were continued at Vincennes, Bishop Chatard used St. John the Evangelist Parish in Indianapolis as an unofficial cathedral until the Cathedral of SS. Peter and Paul was completed in 1907. St. John the Evangelist Parish, established in 1837, was the first parish in Indianapolis and Marion County.
