Chapter 12 Chapter 10 Summary of Correspondence Between Psychologist Edwood Dussel and Cardinal Francis Gasser

. . . My lord, we have no doubt found that some men are born repeat offenders.As far as I know, this is his fifth commission to a new parish.Testing him for two weeks has prevented us from taking the risk of sending him to places with many children, which would be dangerous...   I have no doubts about his confession, because his desire to do so is strong.But I doubt his self-control... We can't risk him being vicar again, we'd better get him under control before he gets out of hand, or I can't be responsible for the consequences.I recommend sending him to St. Matthew's Institute for at least six months.

...I've tried to get in touch with him (Karoski) for the third time... I would say that when you give him "fresh air" - that is, give him the opportunity to move from one parish to another, it doesn't do him any favors Not very helpful and counterproductive. He has begun to lose control at times, and I find schizophrenic features in his behaviour.Chances are that at some point he'll be someone else entirely.My lord, you know my enthusiasm for the church, and you also know that there is a severe shortage of priests in the church, which has resulted in very low standards for being a priest! ...

35 people have now received approval from me to return to normal life.My lord, I have seen that some of them may be freed... Kaloski is absolutely impossible to recover.My Lord Bishop, although you will not listen to me in general, I beg you to listen once.I ask you to order now: Persuade Karowski to go to St. Matthew's Institute.
