Boniface Ramsey

Boniface Ramsey is an American Catholic priest. In 2001, Ramsey alerted the Catholic Church to abuse of seminarians by Archbishop Theodore McCarrick.[1] He was previously a professor at the Immaculate Conception Seminary in Newark, New Jersey.[2] Ramsey had repeatedly issued warnings to church officials regarding abuse throughout his career.[3] Ramsey is also the author of the book Beginning to Read the Fathers.[4] He is now a priest in New York City.[5] His reaction to Carlo Maria Viganò's assessment, while critical of the harsh tone and of one minor factual claim (that Ramsey didn't initiate the letter on his own), it did not otherwise dispute the factuality of Viganò's letter.[6] On September 7, 2018, Ramsey revealed to the Catholic News Service a secret letter which Archbishop Leonardo Sandri, the former Vatican substitute for general affairs and current Prefect of the Congregation for the Oriental Churches, sent to him on October 11, 2006.[7] The letter revealed that Ramsey had warned the Vatican US nuncio Gabriel Montalvo of McCarrick in November 2000.[7]
