I, too, spent many years at the Egan Chapel, on Sunday mornings and Monday nights and listened to Fr. Paul speak about about Doug all the time. I gave money. I went to the fundraisers. I patted Doug on the back and viewed him as a hero for the work he did. My question to Doug's supporters is, in light of the evidence on his computer, how can you continue to offer bail money and encourage his release? I am happy to hear that some children are still receiving help, but we all need to work together to open the doors to the school again.

I know for a fact that it did. I also have children - children who grew up attending mass in the Egan Chapel and hearing Doug speak whenever he was in the U.S. I don't know how all of this will finally turn out but I do know that regardless of a guilty or innocent verdict - I will continue to show compassion to my fellow human beings - all of them.

Because PPT closed it's doors because money ran out when all of this started. Those who previously supported the program so faithfully, walked away with Fr. Paul and Doug tucked under their wings. Donations dried up when the scandal began. I wonder how all of Doug's supporters felt when they read about what was found on his computer? I read that a handful of CT residents stepped up to the plate to cough up millions in bail money, yet, I haven't heard of any residents sending a dime to the children in Haiti. If your child had been raped, I wonder how much "compassion" and "support" you would show to the alleged rapist. I have children and the fact that people are bending over backwards to get Doug out of jail, without knowing all the facts, or realizing/believing what he's capable of, is inciting anger in ME! Believe me, as a Christian, I will continue to pray for Doug (and his family), but you will not see me putting up my home for bail money or offering to babysit Doug in my house while he sits on the internet googling "gay black boys" or calls Haiti to manipulate the case in his favor! Those supporters of Doug that signed the initial letter that went out to all donors when this all started - claiming that it was all a lie and he was innocent.....I wonder if they will send another letter to all donors once once Doug is convicted? The Order of Malta and Fairfield, for the last decade, has supported major fundraising efforts on behalf of PPT. When was the last fundraising event for the children? My opinion is that a handful of people kept this project up and running. They took Doug's word that he was innocent and in their efforts to support Doug, they have contributed significantly to the closing of the school. They could have supported Doug AND continued to support the children, but I have seen ZERO evidence of PPT being supported. “Sad In CT”- How do I know that Doug’s supporters are not continuing to support PPT?

Are we not asked, as Christians, to help those in need...those most shunned? How do you know that the people showing support for Doug Perlitz have not also continued to support the kids of PPT? Don't you think things are ugly enough without adding to and inciting others to anger? It is called living your faith and showing compassion.

Yes, this man has been convicted and yes, he should remain in jail. But those of us who believe that children and immature adults are more valuable than predator priests and/or nuns will just have to continue blogging, writing letters to editors, congressmen and congresswomen until organized religion understands that this behavior will no longer be tolerated. Wake up! Brainwashed people cannot think for themselves, and instinctively rely on their programming when faced with what they believe to be a threat.

What will it take for them to open their eyes and see Doug for what he is? I know that people can be blinded by love, and that they looked at Doug as a hero, but come on people www.spankteenboys.com??? I hope none of these custodians have children and I would hope that before they agree to babysit a child rapist, they have at least attempted to gather the facts from the other side of this horrible story. It appears that this has not been done, because I am sure if it was, they would never be supporting Doug as they are. Shame on all of you who are so supportive of him without knowing all of the facts. I wonder how you will feel in the court room listening to story after story of abuse? I wonder how you will feel seeing tears in the eyes of the abuse victims. Maybe then you will realize they were not bribed, they were only abused! I wonder how you sleep at night. Again, I am disgusted by the Fairfield Community. Start raising money for these boys, and not just for Doug!

The news caused great panic among those who told investigators that they were sexually molested by Perlitz. These brave kids live in daily fear that Perlitz will return to harm them.
