Welcome to the show. A seminarian studying at the North American College, actually at the Greg as well in Rome as a seminarian for the Archdiocese of New York in the

2018-19 year was told by his ordinary Cardinal Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York that he would not be returning.

In response, the seminarian whose name is Anthony Gorgia fought back with the largest lawsuit of its kind. He's a classic whistleblower getting classic whistleblower treatment.

Our guest today on the Patrick Coffin show is his attorney Raymond Belair. This is a very important case. I hope more media outlets pick it up because it's a it goes to the heart of the crisis of vocations in the state of the church today as we go forward with our intentional discipleship of Jesus Christ. Let's clean up where we can.

This is the Patrick Coffin show coming up next attorney Ray Belair.

Coming up next attorney Ray Belair on the Anthony Gorge case, but first this fake celebrity endorsement.

Morning. The following podcast contains ideas and arguments that might challenge your world view.

It told Victoria her secret. He memorized pie to the highest number before infinity. And he discovered the only synonym for the source.

I don't usually listen to podcasts, but when I do, I always listen to the Patrick Coffin show.

Stay culturally aware, my friend.

Join now by attorney Ray Belair in New York, who's representing Anthony Gorge. Mr. Belair, thanks for joining me. I appreciate it.

Thank you, Patrick. Nice to be with you after listening to you for so many years.

You could have waved or something.

Let's dive right into this case. I read the rather lengthy official complaint, which was filed, I believe, back in February.

And I know these cases sometimes go in a glacier like speed.

I want to make it clear that we're going to take names today. We're going to go into some detail of the story that's told in the complaint.

And with the caveat that these are allegations, this is still going through the legal system at that glacier like speed.

Maybe you can tell me, what do you think is the beginning of the story?

Because I know the experience of Anthony Gorge as a whistleblower, someone who's just said enough is enough.

I need to fight back here because I'm not just the only seminarian who's ecclesiastical rise has been thwarted and the plug pulled by prellets who have secrets to teach.

Where to you is the beginning of the story?
