On October 14, 2001, the College of St. Justin Martyr formally dissociated itself from the Society of St. John (SSJ), a clerical association in the Diocese of Scranton, Pennsylvania. Since that time, the College has striven to expose the moral corruption of the SSJ. Although the primary purpose of the College is to establish itself as a great books liberal arts College with an orthodox Catholic character, the College strongly believes it has a moral obligation to prevent the SSJ from doing further harm to young souls and from continuing to deceive Catholic donors. The College’s moral battle against the SSJ has brought it into direct conflict with Bishop James C. Timlin, who inexplicably persists in supporting and protecting the SSJ despite the overwhelming evidence of sexual and financial misconduct by SSJ members. In retaliation for the College’s efforts to inform the Diocese of the SSJ’s grave misconduct, Bishop Timlin has sought to obstruct and harm the legitimate business and goals of the College. In response to Bishop Timlin’s gratuitous attack, the College has filed lawsuits against the Diocese and the SSJ. Readers are invited to inform themselves of the case against the SSJ by accessing the documents and articles posted herein.
