This report is in continuity with files serial nos. 11 and 14 above.
This ministry had succeeded in getting the organizers to cancel two retreats which were to have been preached by the rapist-priest, the first in New York and the second in Sharjah. It was still unclear if he “ministered” at the two retreats in the UK (see flyers in report serial no. 11) or not.
The Vincentian Congregation’s Provincial Superior wrote — a copy of his letter to Fr. Joby in Rome is in the said report no. 11 — that Fr. Joby Kachappilly didn’t preach at the two U.K. venues whose flyers we posted in report no. 11. Fr. George Panackal VC who, as per the flyer, co-preached the Hounslow programme on July 29 would not confirm that Fr. Joby did not minister at Hounslow with him when he called me and one of the victims as per details recorded in our report no. 14.
So we did a bit of direct enquiry with the Hounslow* and Ramsgate** (U.K.) locations on our own.
*Bath Road-Hounslow on July 29 – Joy 079637 38566/Mauro 079844 10446/Prince 078467 61500/Tony 074501 24754
**Divine Retreat Centre, Ramsgate on August 5 – 4478604 78417, 4477216 24883
Mauro (79844 10446) of Hounslow affirmed that Fr. Joby Kachappilly did not minister there July 29.
This is as per the claim of Fr. Kallumkal, his Provincial Superior.
When we called the Ramsgate number (77216 24883) on September 6, a lady responded and informed us that Fr. Joby was still there in Ramsgate, UK, and not in Rome as claimed by Fr. James Kallumkal. She also confirmed that Fr. Joby Kachappilly had led the Ramsgate Bible Convention and healing service on August 5. If, as Fr. Kallumkal wrote to me, he had “denied him permission to do so“, then Fr. Joby Kachappilly has disobeyed him and gone ahead without approval. Either that or Fr. Kallumkal is lying to us. On the 12th of September we received an independent confirmation that Fr. Kachappilly is presently in Ramsgate.
Meanwhile one Mrs. Thangam (9037044015) called the rape victims from Kerala on September 12 and attempted to dissuade them from pursuing the issue. She claimed to be anti-charismatic (unlike the entire Vincentian congregation which is charismatic) and a social worker. Her call is evidence that despite their assurance of bringing the rapist priest to justice canonically, the Vincentians are still chasing other options.
We place on record that even after a lapse of over three weeks, one of the victims has still NOT received an acknowledgement of her August 20 written complaint (see report serial no. 13) that had been solicited from her by the Provincial Superior.
However, I have received two more communications from him:
1. From: Fr. James Kallumkal VC
Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2017 22:42:42 +0530
Dear Michael Prabhu,
Received your mail dated August 28 and Thank you for the same.
A priest of our community, Fr. Kurian Elavumkal VC, had an accident in the N.H. 47 and he died on the 24 of August. His funeral and related issues kept me busy these days. Hence I could not accomplish what I desired. I have obtained permission from respective superiors to appoint an Enquiry Committee. In two days time it will be constituted. In the canonical procedure it will be the committee that verifies the truth of the allegations, collects proofs, etc. Hence I request your understanding.
Yours sincerely,
Fr. James Kallumkal VC
2. From: Fr. James Kallumkal VC Subject: Re: MEETING AT BRITTO HALL, ASHIRVAD, ST. MARK’S ROAD, BANGALORE 3 PM to 5 PM ON JULY 18, 2017 Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2017 23:57:44 +0530
30 August 2017
Dear Michael Prabhu,
In accordance with my assurance that canonical process will be conducted in respect of the alleged sexual abuse of two young ladies from the part of Fr. Joby Kachappilly, I have constituted an Enquiry Committee with the following persons:
1. Fr. Philip Thayil VC (Convener)
2. Fr. Martin Palamattam (member)
3. Fr. John Kochupura CST (member)
The Committee is expected to collect evidence from the victim-survivors, the accused and witnesses from both sides by way of oral statements, documentary and other evidences. The Committee shall not reveal the identity of the victim-survivors in any way and shall take care that the reputation of the persons is protected. It is asked to complete its work within three months’ time from receiving this communication and to submit the acts of the process to me for further action.
Requesting your co-operation in this matter,
Yours sincerely,
Fr. James Kallumkal VC
Provincial Superior
“The Committee is expected to collect evidence from the victim-survivors, the accused and witnesses from both sides by way of oral statements, documentary and other evidences.” It is two weeks since the Provincial Superior wrote but no one has contacted any of our team till date. Moreover, we have personally handed to him and his confreres on the 18th of August all the evidence that we are willing to furnish them with to initiate canonical action against the rapist priest. The rest is on this ministry’s web site. Whatever else we have will be given to the law if and when the Church and the Congregation fail to fulfil their duties and assurances.
We still are not clear as to which Catholic Church authority deputed Fr. Martin Palamattam to represent the Church at the meeting with us in Bangalore on August 18.
We have anyway not heard a single word from him either… since almost a month now.
And we have not been informed of the reason for their choice of one Fr. John Kochupura CST (Congregation of St. Therese of Lisieux) to be on the “Enquiry Committee”. He too has not contacted us.
From our reports, the reader will be able to decide that every action or reaction of the Vincentians either as a Congregation or on an individual basis clearly indicates that the Vincentians are and have been since a long time, even prior to our taking up this case, aware of the sexual exploits of Fr. Joby Kachappilly as well as the identities of several of his victims.
