Mistaken Gender?
I was reading the Guam Daily Post today. Two persons accused Father Brouillard of sexually abuse and rape. To protect their identities, they were only identified as F.A.D and S.P. Both filed for five million dollars in their lawsuit.The Guam Daily Post identified S.P. as a female rather than a male. Was that an error done by the Guam Daily Post? According to the Guam Daily Post (the bold is mine):
S.P., now 46, alleges she was sexually abused and raped by Brouillard between the ages of 7 and 9.
The complaint alleges Brouilard sexually abused her while teaching her how to float during a Boy Scouts outing. She alleges the rape occurred in a back room at the church and she cried, but Brouillard told her to be quiet and that it was OK for him to do this to her because "it was God's will."
S.P. alleges she was sexually abused approximately four times a month over two to three years.She was sexually abused during a Boy Scouts outing? Correct me if I am wrong, but did the Boy Scouts of America allowed girls to join their organization? Was she also an altar server in Mass? It was not until approximately 1994 when girls were allowed to become altar servers. If S.P. is indeed a female, was she an altar server at 7-9 years old?
The Guam Daily Post did not reveal the age of F.A.D., but it stated that S.P. is currently 46 years old, and that she was sexually abused and raped by Father Brouillard between the ages of 7 and 9. She alleges that she was sexually abused four times a month over two to three years.
Father Brouillard worked in Guam from 1949-1981. He left Guam in 1981. If S.P. is currently 46 years old as stated in the news report, this means that she was born in 1973. At 7-9 years old, the years would be 1980-1982. Was S.P.'s gender an error printed in the Guam Daily Post? Because the story does not make sense if she is a girl. Only boys are accepted into the Boys Scouts of America and girls did not become altar servers until around 1994.
In another lawsuit, the Guam Daily Post reported that a non-Catholic also claimed to be abused by Father Brouillard when he was an altar server in the Tumon Church (See the story here). This non-Catholic is suing for ten million dollars.
One of the requirements of being an altar server is that they should have already received Holy Communion. Of course, a non-Catholic cannot receive Holy Communion. Another requirement is that altar servers should participate in receiving the Eucharist whenever they serve at the altar. If, for some reason, an altar server cannot receive the Eucharist on that Sunday, he/she must first go to confession or do not serve that Sunday. These guidelines were in place because it would look controversial (and even hypocritical) that a person serving at the altar with the priest is not in communion for all the parishioners to see. Every priest knows the guidelines of being an altar server. It is even in the USCCB website. Did Father Brouillard violate these guidelines by allowing a non-Catholic to serve as an altar server during Mass?
