Return Father Leatherby to active ministry

Fr L is Godlike. He does not deserve this and needs to be reinstated immediately. He would not harm a flea! An adult woman?? Are you kidding me? He would not jeopardize his vocation for ANYTHING!! As far as the gay priests go......I was appalled when I met a priest from St Francis and he spoke openly about his partner!!!!! Oh, and his partner was there!!!!!! Fr Leatherby needs to be reinstated back to Presentation. Or, better yet.....he would make an awesome Bishop!!!!!!

I did not appreciate the lies our children were told when this first came out. To this day we still do not know the truth. Father Leatherby has always shown so much love and reverence towards God and the Catholic Church.

BIshop Soto, You support evil and other perversions by your actions. You protect and defend liars, rapists of children, men and women, murderers, pederast, pedophiles, practicing homosexuals who are in charge of parish families, destroy solid Catholic schools, parishes, and murders of innocent souls, seminarians and the unborn. Pray with Fr. Leatherby and humble yourself before God. Repent, resign and spend your life as a layman with the poorest of poor for reparation and prayer. No authority, no car, no shelter, no possessions, but a rosary and the clothes on your back. Life is short, hell is forever.

It appears that an injustice has been perpetrated on my favorite priest. What ever happened to procedural due process?Are church officials covering up other things? It’s time to come clean. How many black-eyes will the church indure before the wrongs are corrected. This falls directly on the Bishop and I’m no longer contributing to this diocese. Very dissapointed in how this is being handled.

The retaliation needs to end.

Please do what is right concerning Father Leatherby who is such a valued and holy wonderful Priest and his Father the Deacon.

Please do what is right concerning this wonderful Priest and his Father the Deacon.

Reinstate Fr Jeremy Leatherby and Bishop Sotoneeds to resign, Now! Evil men such as Soto, leave our Holy Catholic Church!

Please return Fr Leathery to active ministry immediately.

Fr. Jeremy nust be reinstated!

RE INSTATE FR.LEATHERBY HE IS INNOCENT

Do the right thing stand for the truth. It is your duty. Our prayers are with you to do what is right

Return Father Jeremy to his priestly duties now. Two years without due process is not following canonical law and is not treating Father Jeremy or the parishioners in the Diocese of Sacramento fairly. Immediately commence a full investigation of any and all sexual abuses in the Diocese of Sacramento, as well as an investigation of any coverup of sexual abuses in the Diocese of Sacramento. We pray that the truth will surface and that justice will prevail. Our Catholic faith depends on it!

My family and I live in the Sacramento diocese and attend a parish here.

God, please help us to see the truth and light!

Reinstate a good man, remove those who encourage the dereliction of Mother Church!

Whether Fr. Jeremy is innocent or guilty I don't know. What I do know is the "canonical process" has been overly prolonged, seemingly for no reason. If nothing else this petition may help the matter be addressed.

Would be nice to organize a silent vigil in front of the Cathedral to show support for Father Leatherby.

Let the truth be known.

We are at war - and we support our courageous warriors!
