I received a card postmarked 6/16/2016 acknowledging receipt of my, “recent correspondence to Bishop Jaime Soto,” assuring me that the contents of my letter, “will be given due consideration.” Bishop Soto, please prayerfully consider the contents of my letter from June 2016. It includes my testimony and examples of Father Leatherby’s faithfulness to his priestly vocation, including his adherence to truth, chastity, and his fervent desire to lead souls to heaven. Please restore Father Leatherby to active ministry.

I have been attending Mass at Presentation parish for several years. I remember when father Jeremy came the our church, and I was very moved how Father Leatherby performed the transformation of the bread and the wine so that the Church asks the Father to his Holy Spirit on the bread and wine may become the body and wine of Jesus Christ and so that those who take part in the Eucharist may be one and one spirit. Father Jeremy made this conversion of the bread and wine into Christ's body and the blood that Christ becomes present in this sacrament. He made me feel the presence of the Lord. I want to have him back as our Priest. Thank you.

The Lord is the final judge and he cannot be corrupted. We will all need to make an account of our life to him.

Why has Father Leatherby's canon lawyer said he has had no contact with the diocese and neither has Father Jeremy.

Bishop Soto is a JOKE! He knows NO COMPASSION, and has a trail of deceit. Bring Father back!

It is despicable how Fr. Jeremy has been treated. Where is the due process for a man who has done nothing wrong? Do the right thing here & give him back his life.

Fr. L is the best homilist I have ever encountered. Keeping him in my prayers during this troubling time in Church history. If we do not have sufficient opportunity and transparency so as to learn from our mistakes, what is the point of proclaiming oneself Catholic?

As someone said, had he molested/raped a postpubesent male or seminarian, he'd be on his way to being a bishop. Very sad state of affairs in the Church.

Way too much time, way too little information for the lay faithful = injustice. Let's get this resolved soon and appropriately communicated. It's time for transparency on so many fronts, let's try to accomplish that in small matters, and maybe the larger matters can follow!
