Chapter 17 Chapter XV Letters between Cardinal Francis Gassé and Mrs. Edwina Marcotogo

Dear Mrs. Edwina Marco Togo: This is a reply to your letter of February 17 this year.I want to start by expressing my concern.My sympathy and regret for your heartbreak and what happened to your son Henry.I am also very angry in conscience for the great harm he has caused you.I agree with you that when a man in the service of God sins - as Father Karowski did - it shakes the very foundations of one's faith.For this I admit that it is my responsibility.I really shouldn't have appointed Father Karowski to the new post.Maybe the third time someone (someone with a strong belief like you) comes to me and tells me I should take a different approach.In this incident, psychologists did not give me good advice, such as Dr. Deserle, who said that Karowski was qualified for the priesthood, but he was actually playing with his professional reputation.I listened to him.

Now I can only hope that, according to your attorney's request, we have made enough compensation to our mutual satisfaction.This is more than we can afford.Although the money cannot make up for the pain it has caused you, I still want to ask you not to tell the public about this matter, which is good for everyone.Our Church of Our Lady has been attacked by many evil and satanic media.For the good of our community, for your son, and for yourself, let us all act as if this never happened. bless you
