Can t believe what Mom has told me. Mom loved him so much.
He is a good man and did so much for Sacred Heart Parish. The people that did this should be so ashamed.
You are in our prayers.
God knows the truth and sooner or later this will be resolved.
God speed JOHN DUFFY. Hold your head high and know the angels are with you.

Ms. WENDY MACKENZIE, thank you so much for your show of support by taking the time to post your comments. We, the supporters of Fr. John, appreciate it very much! You asked: As an"outsider looking in", where is the Christianity toward Father John Duffy? My answer is, when money is involved, the bishops compromise their Christianity. "IT's ALL ABOUT MONEY". So writes Lea Singh, former employee of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) as to why the bishops are silent on abortion": http://torontocatholicwitness.blogspot.ca/search/label/Crisis%20in%20the%20Church
Please ask the heads of the Jewish communities here in Toronto and in Israel to write to the Apostolic Nuncio to Canada, Luigi Bonazzi, and to Pope Francis. It's really a shame that the SUPERIORS of Fr. Duffy HAVE FORGOTTEN what CHRISTianity is all about!
Ms. ANGELA O’NEILL, I agree with your comment that "Our Church can anticipate dark days indeed when courageous and faithful priests are persecuted and silenced. Fr. John Duffy is a victim of malice and slander and of a weak presence in charge of the Archdiocese of Toronto. Holy priests like Fr. John are few and far between and should be celebrated. It is little wonder that truly faithful Catholics are also few and far between. God help us.”
May I add the word “CORRUPT” to your phrase "presence in charge of the Archdiocese of Toronto”. Holy priests like Fr. John should indeed be celebrated as they are few and far between which explains why truly faithful Catholics are also few and far between. The SUPERIORS of Fr. Duffy are obviously LACKING the CARDINAL VIRTUES namely: PRUDENCE, JUSTICE, FORTITUDE and TEMPERANCE. In case they have forgotten what they are, they can review them here http://www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p3s1c1a7.htm. It’s ironic because the link is on the Archdiocese’s website; which I guess was put there FOR US to follow/OBSERVE and FOR THEM to just PREACH. God help us!!!!!!

Julieta Rasco,
You are quite right. The world is dominated by Satan. This petition is in support of Fr. John Duffy. Harming another Priest of God, in word or deed, and publicly, saddens the Heart of God, The Sacred Heart of Jesus and Our Blessed Mother. Who are we to pass judgement on God's chosen? I Deirdre was the co-ordinator of the lay ministery. It was my decision. You know what I am talking about.

The archdiocese is not very supportive of good priests like Father Dias, Father Fernando and Father Duffy. They support crooked priests like Father Beltran. I am very disappointed. What the world appears to be is dominated by satan including our archdiocese. I really want to see all these three priests be back into celebrating the holy mass.

Fr. Duffy is a good priest who loves his Church and the people. He has a lot to offer and his mission is not completed yet. We pray that he will be restored his priestly duties and be able to serve the Archdiocese as is his greatest wish.
We love you and will continue to pray for you.

I have already posted on this. The more I read abut the terrible injustice done to Father Duffy, the angrier I become! I am not a christian, but I know about christianity. Father Duffy has always been exceptionally christian to we the Jewish people. I have never met a christian who has worked so hard and so lovingly to defend Jews from haters.
Father Duffy has worked hard to build closer relations between Christians and Jews. We call Father John a
"mensch" ...a good guy, a just person, a" righteous gentile." .He is truly interested in world peace, and has worked extremely hard to defend Zion.
As an"outsider looking in", where is the Christianity toward Father John Duffy?
Shame on those who have done this!

My prayers are with you Father John and praying for your persecutors as well that they may seek God.
Father John is the most amazing priest I've come across. In my home parish when I was younger he had wonderful homilies and whenever he visited us in our school every single student would be looking forward to it as we truly enjoyed his meetings. He is a genuine person who is very compassionate, patient, and intelligent. I am blessed to have met a priest like him.

BARNIBUS ANONYMOUS, thank you very much for sharing with us what you know about Fr. Duffy. I learned so much about his personal life and the kind of person he is which would not appear in his curriculum vitae. I think it would help his case a lot if you can write to the Papal Nuncio the things that you posted on this website. Since you are using a pen name here, it may not carry much weight compared to writing to the Papal Nuncio with your Name, Address, e-mail address and/or phone number.
You can either send your letter by mail or by e-mail. Here’s the Papal Nuncio’s e-mail address: [email protected]; and below is his mailing address:
His Excellency, the Most Rev. Luigi Bonazzi
Apostolic Nuncio to Canada
724 Manor Ave. Ottawa, ON, K1M 0E3 Canada
(Phone: 613.746.4914 • Fax: 613.746.4786)
CATHOLIC ANONYMOUS, I also thank you very much for sharing the INSIDE information about an erring priest in authority. Although I’m disappointed that the “Friends of Duffy” deleted it, I can understand how that STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL info can damage our Faith. I admire them for their fairness in their fight for justice for Fr. Duffy. I also urge you to write to the Papal Nuncio about the things you shared on this website. I hope the priests/bishops who showed mercy to the erring priests WILL BE FAIR ENOUGH to give JUSTICE to Fr. Duffy.
GERRY ROCHE, I also urge you to write to the Papal Nuncio. Time is of the essence. Although in this case, your FAILURE to ACT SOON doesn’t constitute a breach of contract as there’s no agreement of any kind; but IT MAY BE TOO LATE to BE of ANY HELP to Fr. Duffy
