Leave it to the sede Luke Nutley to ask us to believe such a man. A woman told the Salesians in 1994 that Nugent abused her and two of her brothers. Nugent was sent for therapy, then reassigned. The woman complained again to the order in 1998 after she discovered that Nugent was working at a youth camp. The order settled with her in 1998 for $250K. Per the woman, she was part of a group of up to eight children Nugent regularly abused in the 1970s. Another suit was settled in 2008, claiming abuse of a male Don Bosco Prep student 1977-1976. Named in a suit filed by four former junior seminary students. Died at age 89 on 1/20/2011 in Italy, where he had lived for many years. Included in 3/2020 on the Salesians list of credibly accused.
Never trust a sede or those that follow them.
Funny how people love critique the life of Catholics who frequent the Sacrament of reconciliation all their lives.
Problem with Bosco is the Salesians for some 70 years forbade illegitimate men from Priesthood candidacy. They called it an impediment. Frank Nugent, SDB, can tell you all about this. Funny he was charged with pedophilia a few years ago.
