Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Roman Catholic Church Eliminates another witness in molestation case.

Molesting Priest Beaten to Death


(Dec. 7) -- A retired Roman Catholic priest who admitted molesting three altar boys in 1995 was found beaten to death at his home, police said Saturday.

Joseph Pilger, 78, was found dead in his home Friday night. An autopsy Saturday found the cause of death to be multiple blunt force injuries, according to the Fayette County coroner. The death is being investigated as a homicide.

Pilger lived alone until the past month, when a young man began staying with him, said his neighbor, Karen Owens. Owens said Pilger's car, which had been at his home earlier in the day, was missing Friday night.

Pilger pleaded guilty to sexual abuse in 1995 for abusing three altar boys in 1968 and 1969, when he was their pastor in Morganfield in western Kentucky. He was sentenced to five years' probation beginning in January 1995.

Earlier this year, Pilger was named in a sex-abuse lawsuit against the dioceses of Lexington and Covington. Pilger declined to comment on the allegation.

Looks like the Roman Church is eliminating those who could become witesses in expensive civil suits against them. Or who could name Bishops and Arch-Bishops in a criminal conspiricy.

That priest who was murdered in a Boston jail earlier this year was placed into contact with a two time killer by a Roman Catholic prison guard too. Coincidence? NOT.
