I pray for the repose of the soul of Fr. Engelhardt. I also pray that whatever time he may spend in Purgatory (if any) will be short and that he will receive his martyr’s crown from our Lord.
Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of the Martyrs, pray for us!

I think this qualifies as “your reward will be great in Heaven.”
Well, he is the proto-martyr of many priests who will be thrown in prison on false charges of some sort and die there…Catholics have seen all this before in England, France, and Communist Russia, as well as other places. America will fall into step persecuting priests within a generation of priests. imo.
and the leftist Marxist press and their political masters will dance on his grave, their complicity will not be forgotten by the heavenly hosts, may they reap their reward in their allotted time
may he rest in peace
may his soul and the souls of all the faithfully departed in the mercy of God, rest in peace
Ahem
May Fr. Charles rest in peace. I hope and pray the people responsible for this repent and do penance.
May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen. Jesus our High Priest, falsely accused and put to death, now risen, is the judge of every soul.
This week’s These Stone Walls posting, which comes out Wednesday morning, is about this very upsetting addition to the falsely accused priest saga. I’m sure Fr. Gordon MacRae will have much of worth to say about it. I know he is very angry, as we all should be.
Let’s not forget Bishop Austin Vaughan, in jail in Albany for attempting to save the lives of babies. While celebrating Mass in his cell, he was beaten up on orders from Gov. Mario Cuomo.

Watch the procession. These are the priests who will hand over Catholics to the torturers and executioners, as they have been handing over the babies for forty years.
My heart breaks for him and all falsely accused – and those who love them. Too many good priests are suffering this. Something needs to be done to protect priests from this.
@Packrraat ,
Thank you for mentioning Fr. MacRae’s blog, These Stone Walls. I was appalled, when I stumbled across the blog, to read about the injustice done to Fr. MacRae, not only by the state, but by the local hierarchy of the Catholic Church.
@ andia,
Indeed, some thing needs to be done to protect priests from this… and priests who are falsely imprisoned should also know of our support of them. To this end, I would encourage those who want to find out more about Fr. MacRae’s false imprisonment ( he has been imprisoned since 1994), to either google These Stone Walls or click on the very last link under ‘Blogs by priests’ that Fr. Z has kindly provided. I pray, not only for Fr. MacRae but all priests who are falsely imprisoned.
I also meant to add that I have added Rev. Charles Engelhardt to my prayers for souls of the Faithfully departed.
I have followed Fr MacRae’s inspiring blog since the very beginning and have been horrified to learn how prisoners are treated in the USA. Fr MacRae has been behind stone walls for twenty years – you don’t even get that for murder in Britain – and I understand that if he had been prepared to say he was guilty he would have been out years ago.
Reading today’s post in ‘These Stone Walls’ I have learnt that Fr Engelhardt was shackled to his bed by his left wrist and right foot as he lay dying with two guards at his side but no relatives or friends and presumably no Priest to administer to him in his last moments. The authorities waited three days before notifying his family of his death. Truly heartbreaking.
