"I think you had best call my attorney and I better not respond at this moment," Urban said. When pressed on whether the allegations are false, Urban said: "Nothing. I'm not going to answer anything." Then he hung up.
Urban has been placed on administrative leave while the diocese investigates the allegations, said the Rev. Kenneth Doyle, the diocese's chancellor for public information. Parishioners at St. Adalbert's will be told of the action during services this weekend, he said.
"It is my understanding that Father Urban strongly denies the allegations," Doyle said in a statement issued late Friday.
Gee, where's DV? Drive by the house that he boards in, curtains and/or blinds probably closed, in hiding
Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent. Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.
First.......for anyone who has ever met Urban.......this should come as no surprise.
Second......these 'male priests', who sexually abuse only other 'males'.......are homosexuals.
The catholic church appears to be a breeding grounds for homosexuals.
And since the church is obviously failing on controlling the sexual behavior of these priests, then perhaps it is time for them to allow marriage, including gay marriage for all priest, bishops...etc...
The church is losing ground on these homosexual/sex abuse charges.
imho

Yup for anyone who has met him or dealt with him NO surprise, just that it took SO long to come out. He tried picking up a Sch'dy cop a while back (don't blame him on that one good looking guy: )
Retired priest faces sex abuse allegation ALBANY — A retired Schenectady priest was placed on administrative leave by the Albany Diocese on Saturday, pending an investigation into allegations that he sexually abused a minor more than 20 years ago. The Rev. Carl Urban, formerly of the Church of St. Adalbert in Schenectady, “denies the allegation strongly,” according to a press release from the diocese. The actions taken by Bishop Howard J. Hubbard are consistent with the Diocesan policy and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People. While on leave, Urban is prohibited from acting as a priest, celebrating sacraments publicly or wearing clerical garb.
Gosh, where the heck was that story. Quite hidden maybe? I'll have to go back and look.
Gee, is DV still in hiding on this issue

some of us were talking about this yesterday when the TU gave the story the exposure it deserved. Many predicted that the gazetto would hide it somewhere as if it were a non-issue!!!
Let's protect the alleged gay/homosexual priest/s from schenectady! Hell....the gazetto is still monopolizing the print with Raucci crap! But God forbid that people should read about how a young innocent boy was allegedly sexually abused many times by a long time, home town PRIEST!!!
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

I believe DeSantis, like its been said he has nothing to gain, he can't sue so money not an issue. I think him exposing "no pun intended" these "priests" is more for his healing and with the knowledge that he is probably not the only abuse victim. Years ago kids were brought up not to bring things like this out into the open and espeicially when its a person of authority a child feels they will not be believed.
He said he remembers the voice, in my case with my abuser I remember screaming and feeling lost and I remember the comment made to me by him right after I will never forget what he said. This guy still lives in Schenectady. Crap
I came back to edit and allready shaky and bile in my throat. Abuse lives with you your whole life. I wonder why I can't tell the name of my abuser here and the name of his wife who was in the room who I screamed to for help and she did NOTHING. Why do victims have to hold so much in and suffer while the abusers go on about there lifes with no cares or consequences??
Now that frig*gin thing he said to me is playing over and over in my head and I'm tearing up. I was a child and it still haunts me.

I cannot tell you how sincerely sorry I am for you rpforpres. A child's innocence lost in the hands of a pedophile is one of the greatest crimes of all humanity and I only hope that someday you have peace. Thank you for being so brave and sharing your pain. Your strength as a survivor speaks volumes.
Also, I would like to make this VERY clear, adults that prey on children are NOT homosexuals, they are pedophiles. They are criminals and the lowest form of scum on this planet. Please do not confuse the two as they are not the same.

Yes.
thanks Rachel.
I think my only strength is my love for my children (who are all grown) because I would do ANYTHING to protect them. They and my grandson are my whole world.
ABusing children is the lowest of all things. Stealing their innocence is almost unforgivable.
In this case, I am not convinced. Although he may be a gay priest he is not automatically a pedophile. I feel very sorry for this victim. I hope he is getting the counseling he needs and deserves and the church should be paying for it. But I do not believe Carl Urban to be a pedophile. I know him to be a brilliant man who was an activist, pretty good theologian, and a wonderful son, brother and uncle to a family that was plagued with traumatic events in life. Several good priests have been lost in this scandal. I hope he fights this until the truth comes out. He may be gay, but not a pedophile.

Just like Rachel said, you are strong. You are a survivor. People like that are sick. And to put children into those hands is sick as well. Like the little girl in Berne. Not one registered offender, but two. I too hope that you find peace some day. And always remember that you are not alone. * hugs *
