Unanswered Questions for the St. Stanislaus Spokeman

Mr. Richard Bach, the spokesman for the parish of St. Stanislaus Kostka, says, in response to this proposed Letter to the Editor of the Post Dispatch,
[There is] no fabrication ... except in the numbers from 'the dark side' that is employed by the archdiocese. I am sorry that this group has not changed its evil ways and now attacks persons rather than the topic at hand. (Source 3/19/95)
An anonymous commenter then replied to Mr. Bach's response:
Evil Ways?...That's quite a strong comment coming from one who continues to distort the truth...

Did you attend Mass each Sunday at St. Stanislaus, or is Mr. Brzyski mistaken? Can you answer this question?

How about a direct response for a change. We already know how well you skirt issues and questions. We also know how well you place blame on others - refusing to accept responsibility for your own words and deeds. (Emphasis in original, Source)
As we see above, a very direct question was asked of Mr. Bach. The question, at least to me, is one which could have been answered very easily and simply - yet, Mr. Bach refused to answer it! And what was his response to the above comment?
I do not avoid or skirt issues ... Anonymous. I do not need to justify myself. (Source)
One can only surmise, based on the spokeman's responses and interviews to date, that one of the duties of a spokesman for St. Stanislaus is to refrain from answering simple and direct questions - questions whose answers could very well shed light on issues which, to this day, remain in doubt.

Mr Bach, if you are reading this:

You have boldly stated above that there are "numbers from 'the dark side'" that are "employed by the archdiocese." You made this same accusation here when you said:
Annulments, jobs, and other monetary considerations have been provided to those 60 in exchange for their WORK against the parishioners of St. Stanislaus.
Yet, back on March 1, 2005, when I asked for proof of these assertions, you provided none. Your response to me was:
Calling diocesan offices and asking for these individuals or the Polish Apostilate may help you assertain them.
You, Mr. Bach, made the assertions and any reasonable and prudent individual would expect that you would back them up with facts. Instead, you ask others to embark on investigative missions to affirm or refute your allegations. As of March 20, we are still waiting for you to back up the accusations you have made against others.

On March 2,2005, you stated:
What I do is for the church, St. Stanislaus and the Roman Catholic church. I will continue to fight for them regardless of smear and slime techniques ... the devil loves confusion and darkness ... I am here to fight against those. (Source)
In reality, what you do is fight against the Church, against St. Stanislaus, and against Jesus Christ. If you are truly committed in opposing confusion and darkness, then enlighten us with answers to the questions which have been asked of you.

Since you have recently questioned the truthfulness and abilities of others with whom you disagree, perhaps you can help us by answering these simple questions:

1. Have you attended Mass each Sunday at St. Stanislaus for the past 40 years as you have implied in your interviews?

2. Is Mr. Brzyski mistaken about what he says in his letter about you and your Mass attendance at St. Stanislaus?

3. Will you, finally, provide details of your accusations listed above concerning those being paid or employed by the Archdiocese in an effort to work against you and others?

4. Do you believe that it is prudent or productive to insinuate that Archbishop Burke is "a bully" who "bashes heads" with a "bat"?

5. Why has no retraction for these inflammatory and hostile comments been forthcoming?

6. Can you provide details of how those from, as you say, the "dark side" are "attacking persons" rather than issues? Who are those "persons" who have been attacked?


I look forward to your answers and your assistance in clearing up the "darkness and confusion" of which you speak.
