The EWTN News portal reports that a “priest” of the Archdiocese of Louisville, Father David Sanchez, has resigned as “pastor” of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish after a civil lawsuit alleged he dismissed a janitor’s report of being raped and sodomized by her supervisor, former facilities manager Cesar Barahona. The “archbishop,” Shelton Fabre, accepted the resignation, placed Sanchez on “administrative leave,” yet declared he “remains a priest in good standing,” appointing a temporary administrator and delaying a new appointment until July 2027. The lawsuit details a harrowing timeline: the victim, Gladis Garcia Gomez, hired in April 2025, reported the assaults to Sanchez in June 2025; he allegedly called Barahona a “close friend,” disbelieved her, and warned her to stay silent. She went to the “archdiocese’s human resources department” in October 2025, which merely directed her to file a police report. The “archdiocese” refuses comment on “pending litigation.” This sordid affair is not an aberration; it is the logical and necessary fruit of the conciliar revolution, a paramasonic structure where bureaucratic self-preservation has supplanted the salus animarum (the salvation of souls), and where the potestas ordinis and potestas iurisdictionis (power of orders and power of jurisdiction) have been extinguished by the novus ordo rites and the heretical theology of Vatican II.
