    “The most insignificant facts are intensified, they make sensational headlines, and that helps sell newspapers,” the Rev. Vytautas Volertas, told a Lithuanian-language newspaper on May 1.

    “To put it another way, who controls the press? The Jews. Have you ever seen an article in The New York Times about a criminal rabbi? No? And you won’t see one.”

    In fact, the Times, like every other major New York newspaper, last year reported the arrests of five rabbis who were indicted in a money-laundering probe in New Jersey.

    Volertas, assigned to the Church of the Transfiguration in Maspeth, apologized after being chastised by Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio of the Brooklyn Diocese.

    DiMarzio was “appalled” by the remarks, a spokesman said.

    Volertas, in a statement released by the diocese, said, “I sincerely apologize to the Jewish people for the harm that my words may have caused.

    “Moreover, I beg forgiveness of the victims of clergy sexual abuse.”

    This is beyond outrageous. I’m a Jew! Why doesn’t the media consult me about these stories? And, for crying out loud, where’s my cut of the multi-billion dollar media empire? I should at least get enough for maybe a pastrami on rye with a cream soda, no? But I get bupkes! What good does it even do me to be one of the “Jews” if I have to go to work and earn a living and support my family, and not even be in charge of the banks or Hollywood or the media? It’s like being a gentile or something!

    Nothing has changed in church exposed antisemitism from crusades , inquisition and present time. Der Spiegel , a renown German weekly, Augstein foundation has reported detailed information about sexual abused by Catholic clerk including a bishop named Mixia and his sauna session with young priests.

    Sadly, this is no worse than those who are attacked for reporting frum abuse – when it happens in Israel it is the Zionists and chilonim who are to blame and in the US the gov’t and the non-frum are blamed. Denial is denial

    now I understand where blood libels came from. After priests abused kids they killed them and blamed it on the jews.

    Blame the Jews… then go worship one…can someone explain this insanity. I would hope that their false messiah actually does come back some day and tells them all to get a lost.
