Note from Father Gordon MacRae: You may have noted from my recent post, “Maximilian Kolbe: The Other Prisoner Priest in My Cell,” that this blog began in August, 2009, at the behest of someone who wanted to help fight for my freedom.
That person is Charlene C. Duline. Retired from a distinguished career with the U.S. State Department, Charlene was working on publishing a memoir of her remarkable life when she insisted that I ran out of excuses for not having a voice in the public square. My voice would not have existed without her.
On August 13, 2009, I wrote a short post to honor her on her birthday. Today Charlene is fully retired with Emeritus status as our Editor. I want to reprise that earlier post as she celebrates another birthday in the Vineyard of the Lord. I cannot reveal how many birthdays she has had. …More

The person posting as "spinmeister" appears to be a New Hampshire news reporter named Damien Fisher but posting under a fake name. He is covering up for a police officer who spearheaded the MacRae case but is now accused of a wide range of corruption including falsification of evidence, destruction of exculpatory evidence, and offering money to new accusers to bolster his case. It seems that in New …More

He is covering up for a police officer who spearheaded the MacRae case but is now accused of a wide range of corruption including falsification of evidence, destruction of exculpatory evidence, and offering money to new accusers to bolster his case. It seems that in New Hampshire, journalistic ethics take a back seat to "spin."

Are you familiar with a cognitive bias called the "hallo effect?" Child predator and admitted and convicted Father MacRae hopes you aren't. He thinks that if he associates himself with a saint or a philathropist you will associate him with high morals, when in fact he was justly sentenced to prison for decades for molesting children. He, in fact, admitted to these acts. I don't know why Gloria.tv …More
Are you familiar with a cognitive bias called the "hallo effect?" Child predator and admitted and convicted Father MacRae hopes you aren't. He thinks that if he associates himself with a saint or a philathropist you will associate him with high morals, when in fact he was justly sentenced to prison for decades for molesting children. He, in fact, admitted to these acts. I don't know why Gloria.tv continues to give him a forum on which to attempt to manipulate his way out of prison.

Where did he admit to any of this? Had he admitted to it, as the State of New Hampshire wanted, wouldn’t he have served only a year in jail? If he committed crimes worthy of a 66 year sentence, or which he needs to serve the vast majority before being eligible for parole, how could the state have been justified, from the victims’ point of view, by offering him such a slap on the wrist if he pled …More
Where did he admit to any of this? Had he admitted to it, as the State of New Hampshire wanted, wouldn’t he have served only a year in jail? If he committed crimes worthy of a 66 year sentence, or which he needs to serve the vast majority before being eligible for parole, how could the state have been justified, from the victims’ point of view, by offering him such a slap on the wrist if he pled out? I’m no expert on this case; and I believe priests who commit sex crimes should be punished maximally, but murderers (2nd degree, at least) often get off with effectively lighter sentences than he is serving. It just doesn’t add up. Also, what of the questions of police misconduct? Police need to be held to the same high standard of right conduct as priests, in my opinion. A cop who lies even once should have his career destroyed, without question.

You have been outed Damien. Scram!
Also, he is still a priest, not suspended or laicized.....Why would someone who deserves 67 years in prison still be a priest in good standing with his bishop? He offers Mass in his cell every Sunday night, the only time he is allowed. McCarrick got a slap on the wrist in comparison, AND laicized.
