The Roman Catholic Faithful website is one of my favorite places to keep up with corruption in the Church. The way that RCF gets information and exposes people is great to see, worthy of the old 60 minutes. Here is a great article on the founder of RCF, Stephen Brady, a true Catholic hero. It is sad to see someone dedicated to being Catholic put through such turmoil by others in the Church.

"Brady heads Roman Catholic Faithful, a group he created in 1996 to address his concerns about the Springfield Diocese, which includes Catholic congregations throughout central Illinois. Brady, who earns most of his income running Leo's Pizza in Petersburg, has since expanded his field of battle. Roman Catholic Faithful's Web site, www.rcf.org, is a disorganized mixture of news updates, warnings to Catholic leaders, press releases, and links to church scandals all over the world. Brady claims his work has forced the resignations of six priests and two bishops, in dioceses from Dallas to South Africa. In 1999, he created headlines when he exposed a Web site where several dozen Catholic priests swapped stories of their sexual exploits, occasionally involving young children."


The Diocese Report is another great website, and they have this story about a priest in the Altoona-Johnston diocese who is being persecuted for being orthodox.
