The following came in a Nov. 10 email.

Subject: Job posting removal

Please do not post jobs from the Diocese of San Diego on your website. Thanks.
A link to Kristie Krische’s Linkedin page shows her to have worked as a human resources manager from Nov. 2007 to Apr. 2013 for Neighborhood Healthcare. If you click on Neighborhood Healthcare on her Linkedin page, you get the following:
“Neighborhood Healthcare has been providing health care services in San Diego County since 1969 and is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). Today it operates 10 health centers providing pediatric and adult primary care, prenatal care, family planning, HIV testing, reproductive health, adolescent health, geriatrics, dental, behavioral health and basic pharmacy and lab services.”
The San Diego Diocese could use a good Bishop like Cardinal Burke.
It should not matter to Kristie Krische where the applicants found the ad, only that they be faithful Catholics who will do NOTHING that violates the teaching of the Church (Sacred Scripture and CCC).
Maybe the diocese wants to be unassociated with this nominally Catholic site, and thereby avoid confusing the faithful. I taught at a Catholic school mentioned on this site. Soon after the posting, members of the administration received anonymous email death threats. This is actually how I first discovered the site.
St. Peter, it’s obviously horrible that people should receive death threats regardless of the source. I do hope that the administration turned them all over to the police or even better, the FBI for forensic investigation. No email is anonymous, after all is said and done, and using electronic communication to issue death threats is criminal. If the threat is believed to be real, local police should be contacted immediately.Otherwise, the online forms are useful: https://www.fbi.gov/report-threats-and-crime.
YFC, do not believe everything that is posted.
The death threats are ridiculous, and as you have stated can easily be traced by legal authorities. And everyone who has a brain knows this.
Paula, I have no reason to lie. I’ve posted on this site on and off for several years, now, and only bring it up because I thought it was relevant. Several emails (only one of which I saw) threatened admin after the school was criticized, and my friend, (an admin) showed one to me because she was shaken. This was maybe two or three years ago.
I have no reason to believe – nor would I imply – that the person(s?) who sent the emails were readers who posts here regularly. I presume that it was a fanatical lurker. The only reason why I put it up was because I know for a fact that there may be a reason why an HR would disassociate themselves with this site.
Faithful Catholic, I am sure that these emails were reported. Of course, I was not a part of admin, so what happened after this, I could not tell you. I wouldn’t even know where to look to find out.
And to Dave below, I was not threatened, so I have no police report. If there is a police report, I wouldn’t even know how to begin to search for it. Perhaps you are more familiar with the system and know what steps to take? I want to emphasize that I am not implying anything about you, nor about any one who posts on this site. lll I meant to say was that Lots of people read this site, and since I know one institution that was affected by the criticisms posted. I simply made the assumption that it was not an exception.
It could be disassociation. It could be they have had bad experiences with readers of CCD.
It definitely is not that they don’t want pro-lifers. That was a weird headline.
The action of Kristie Krische is weird.
Her goal should be to get the most qualified and faithful Catholics as employees.
In fact the Bishop should require the reading of the Bible and CCC as a condition of employment for all Diocese employees.
These are the 2 most important Books in our Faith.
peter, please provide a link to the copy of the police report to prove you are telling the truth.
Otherwise stop the bs.
I wouldn’t want my jobs posted on a muckraking site either. One that repeatedly is out to personally destroy the careers of anyone that crosses its path. This is not journalism, it’s mafia like intimidation.
“Your Fellow Catholic”: Strange words from someone that chooses to post here on a regular basis. In fact, Cal-Catholic is a solid site, one that attracts good exchanges of ideas, and that is not afraid to embrace the Faith fully, rather than be swayed by People Magazine Catholic opinion.
As to the request, it is dubious that Ms. Krische has the permission of anyone in true authority to make her demand. Given the chilling potential for this demand, it is recommended Dear Editor, that you challenge her, contact the Bishop (or whomever is in charge), and so on up the line to see if that is the Catholic Church talking.
If anything, Cal-Catholic should consider itself doing a good job. Apostate dioceses — like San Diego — do not want the Catholic Faith practiced, or taught, in any respect. How many TLM will you find in SD? Of course the diocese will fight you, as the forum you provide is read, and is feared (by the unfaithful).
Keep up the good work.
St. Christopher,
Last weekend our entire family was invited to spend the weekend in San Diego and we attended Mass at a parish in San Diego. The priest turned the gospel of the money changers in the Temple into his own personal agenda. He said that the ONLY time Jesus ever got VIOLENT is when people got greedy with money and did not welcome the stranger or help the poor. He said that once again today the Church has gotten quite snobby and greedy and rigid and not very welcoming.
This priest talked about prayer and he said that our prayers need NOT be the rigid “AUCTIONEER” type of prayers” but just simple prayers from the heart. Yes, he actually used the word “auctioneer prayers.” My entire family who was also visiting took this as a resentful unwelcoming slam against those who pray the rosary. This priest said that it was going to be important that all parishes and dioceses work together in unity in bringing about this welcoming of the stranger. The question being does this mean welcoming the strange agenda that Cardinal Kasper is proposing?
When we attended this parish for Mass, we were the visiting strangers and yet it was the person (who talked our legs off about being “welcoming” ) while he was not being very welcoming at all. Most importantly not welcoming to the Mother of God and to those who have a devotion to the Mother of God. How much more unwelcoming and snobby and rigid, in a quest to omit and scorn certain Traditions, can one unwelcoming individual be?
Message of Our Lady of Akita
“The priests who venerate Me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres (other priests). Churches and altars will be sacked. The Church will be full of those who accept compromises, and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord.”
Why is devotion to the Mother of God not welcome? Why is the rosary not welcomed?
The answer: Where Mary IS…the father of lies and his minions are NOT being welcomed.
Genesis 3:15 Douay-Rheims Bible
“I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.”

“Catherine”: Your post is powerful witness to an awful truth: Catholic priests simply reject what is Catholic, particular its centuries-old prayers and devotions (particularly to our Holy Mother). Not surprisingly, Msgr. Bugnini, in his hey-day, tried to “Protestantize” the Rosary (which Bl. Paul VI rejected).
These priests are not instructed in the seminary into anything much that is Catholic prior to Vatican II (and its terrible implementation). Their experiences as young priests are also no education into what being “Catholic” means. You can see that, when a truly holy priest or religious speaks to a local Catholic school about accurate Catholic beliefs on anything touching on sexual ethics, the kids, their parents, and school administrators erupt in outrage — they simply do not know their Faith and reject what they are told about it. Catholicism is foreign because they have never been truly Catholic.
If you are strong enough (and this would be difficult), you might seek to speak to the priest or to his pastor about his sermon. You will likely be rejected and criticized, but perhaps your effort at “fraternal correction” will make one of them think.
What you have said is very important. Millions of Catholics are poisoned every day by wrong preaching and disrespect for Jesus, and for Mary, and Her Immaculate Heart. The clergy simply cannot continue to reject the Church’s foundation, Her Tradition, and expect that it will survive.
God bless you St. Christopher, Thank you for the response and the very charitable and wise advice.
“Priests who see insults offered to God and remain silent are called by Isaias “mute dogs.” But to these mute dogs shall be imputed all the sins that they could have–but have not– prevented…. Hence, St. Leo adds: The priest who does not withdraw another from error proves that he is himself involved in it.” —- St. Alphonsus De Liguori
Oh for crying out loud. There could be a million and one reasons why she doesn’t want third party sites promoting diocesan jobs. She and the Diocese of San Diego do not answer to you or the editors of CCD. Maybe they are stupid reasons, but why make such a big fuss over it??? Come off your high horses already. Not every thing in life is a matter of doctrine and morals, life and death, sin and salvation.
I agree St. Christopher. It’s curious how two frequent posters on this site refer to it as “nominal” and “muckraking.” Anyone who has followed their commentary knows they are not of good faith and cannot be trusted.
What difference does it make? Is CCD getting a finder’s fee?
Seriously, people, who cares?
For someone with such a jaundiced opinion of California Catholic, you surely seem to spend an inordinate amount of time on this site. Can’t be all that bad…
I don’t believe that peter. You’re making that up.
This message from Kristie Krishkie should be forwarded to every one at the San Diego Diocese administration offices and to every pastor in the Diocese and demand a reply from each of them: Do they approve of this , Yes?, No? Then Cal Catholic should print each of the replies and list each administrator or pastor who does not respond.
Why? Because you want to ruin a career?
… one must not have a care for their career, in truth, if they hold non-Catholic sensibilities but insist on investing their time and efforts in a Catholic institution. Doesn’t make a lot of sense unless the objective career is ‘change-agent’ in which case your attack on CCD is understandable.
Who said she holds non-Catholic sensibilities?
Only Catholics need apply for employment in Diocese offices.
They can get secular careers elsewhere.
This kind of action would go a long way to explain why they don’t their jobs posted here.
At a minimum, Ms. Krishkie owes CalCatholic an explanation. Why, suddenly, does she no longer want diocesan help wanted ads published free in CalCatholic?
As far as reports from other commenters of emailed death threats, I don’t believe them for a second. All emails can be tracked and the suspects would long ago have been identified and jailed.
Does Ms. Kriskie work for you or for CalCatholic? Why does she have to answer to you and owe you an explanation?
Okay, so she doesn’t want Cal Catholic Readers to know that the diocese has job openings. Well, we all know that the Diocese has its own website, and if you are looking for a job, just go to their website. If she circular-file cans your application, then you can sue the diocese for discrimination. The only way you would know if they did that would be to call afrer submitting an application, and letting them know you will call again. They may not have to give you a valid reason, for turning you down, but at the least they would know you are truly interested in working. Besides that, what difference does it make where the job postings are? A posting is a posting, and a job is a job.
WHAT! re deterring prospective Diocesan employees from Cal CA readers?
How is this connected with the inviting of the dissident Priest Convocation speaker Fr. Timothy Ratliffe, O. P.? And never receiving the courtesy of a reply as to who invited him? Quite directly, I would say. The Amchurch growing and thriving in lovely San Diego.
The San Diego Diocese is Catholic in name only. The have ceased being “Catholic” a long time ago. Now part of the Democrat Party and taking money from them, they tow the party line.
Look at USD. From Catholic to secular under this regime on the hill overlooking Mission Bay. They “play” Catholic but follow orders from their paymasters.
Cal Catholic is the only paper to cover what they are doing and the Diocese does not like the light of day exposing their activities.
From getting out the vote for the Democrat party in low income parishes, to allowing organizing groups to “organize” low income Catholics, to Democrat politicians to speak at Catholic churches (they never allow Republican, Libertarian or Green Party candidates to speak at these parishes). They bused in illegals during the Obamacare push and they allow the Mexican Consulate onto our parish grounds to give matricular cards to illegals. And they do not tell the parishioners that this is going on.
They are using 40% of the gross receipts of all Sunday collections to build churches in the Imperial Valley for illegals. Catholic Charities has been working for the Dems closely and is litigating for the recent Central American illegals that crossed into the country illegally.
Our “Catholic” diocese has been given money to locate the Central Americans into our community, breaking our laws. And our “Catholic” diocese was very silent about the ongoing genocide of Chaldean Catholics in Iraq. No marshaling the forces for this group of people who really are being persecuted. But then again, neither did the Democrats, so being an arm of the Democrat Party, our diocese turned a blind eye to the slaughter, rape, beheadings as Catholicism is wiped out in the MIddle East.
I could go on and on and on….the list is too long. And I must thank California Catholic Daily for exposing the truth about the secularists who run the Diocese. Well done CCD! Keep up the great work. There are still some critical thinkers out here in the wilderness that don’t buy the propaganda from the Southern Cross and the Diocese cabal on the hill overlooking Mission Bay.
Have you never wondered why Bishop Brom did not encourage literate Catholics to read the Bible and CCC ? – – –
So he could do things according to his own political agenda with no questions asked.
Brom destroyed the Catholicity of the Diocese from 1990 until he recently retired.
We need Cardinal Burke, and more like him.
I would like to know if the employment listings for job openings in the SD Diocese are listed on this web site by the editors who scour the diocesan web sites, or if the listings are sent in by the hiring diocese. If the diocese sends in the listings, that is one issue. If the editors are listing the jobs on their own, then there is a problem. Those of you who work for large corporations, over 50 employees, know that the organization is required to keep copious records about where they advertise, who applied from those sites, their ethnic/racial background, etc. Affirmative Action laws require that resumes be analyzed each year to determine the racial/ethnic/age/gender, etc. background for purposes of completing annual EEO reports. No HR manager worth their salt wants employment ad appearing where they didn’t place them. I don’t know the level of sophistication at the SD Diocese relative to resume processing, but in many organizations, resumes are not even read. They are scanned into the system. When a job opening is available the HR department uses a key word search to pull up relevant resumes. I have been out of the business a few years, so I admit to not being up to date on the law, but I’m not sure that it would be legal to only hire Catholics to work in all jobs in the diocese, although devoutly to be wished. It might be interesting if the diocese bought a copy of the Catechism for each employee and asked them to read it. Nice Christmas present from the Bishop.
With the death of Bishop Flores, I see that the Consultors have elected Msgr. Steven Callahan, the Judicial Vicar (top canon lawyer of the diocese) as Diocesan Administrator. Do any of the San Diego readers have experience with this priest? Might Ms. Krische be a rouge employee who could be reined in by the Administrator or is she part of the chancery cabal?
Father Michael,
There is a paper trail on bishop accountability.org. Please scroll down to the Nov.1, 2002 response to Bishop Armando X. Ochoa regarding Father Frank Sierra a priest who had admitted abusing minors. Father Frank Sierra was sent for treatment at St. Luke’s. In one of the other memos the diocese said that they did not want to send Father Sierra back for more treatment because it was too expensive and that he was following the program in San Diego. Msgr. Steven Callahan gave permission and allowed Father Frank Sierra limited faculties to say Mass at the retirement home and also hear the confessions of adults only at the retirement home. Father Steven Callahan also states that Father Sierra was given the permission to hear the confessions at the house of a group of contemplative sisters. The elderly also deserve our respect and our protection. Given the fact that Father Frank Sierra had admitted to harming different minors in different states including 3 sisters, (siblings) does the Diocese of San Diego think that it was prudent to send Father Frank Sierra to the house of the contemplative sisters to have him hear their confessions. Yes we should pray for Father Frank Sierra and encourage him to trust in God’s mercy but their are consequences for our actions and this does not look like the laity (the elderly) or the contemplative sisters were treated with protective concern or care.

PAST HAUNTS TEMPORARY HEAD OF SAN DIEGO DIOCESE
Following the September 6 death of the widely praised 66-year-old Bishop Cirilo Flores, head of the San Diego Diocese, after a bout with cancer, a temporary administrator needed to be elected to maintain the status quo in the diocese for six to eight months until Pope Francis chooses a successor.

Fair is fair. Justice for all. After listening to Cardinal O’Malley’s statements to Nora O’Donnell regarding Bishop Finn then using those same “zero tolerance” comments then Monsignor Steven Callahan must be removed immediately too.
OR Is this another shameful public example of a leadership in crisis showing selective tolerance for some while showcasing selective intolerance coupled with an immediate desire for revenge against the few faithful Cardinals and bishops who DO defend “all” of the Teachings of the Catholic Church regarding sexual morality and marriage.

Fundraising by priest in Idaho stirs controversy | The San Diego Union-Tribune
https://www.utsandiego.com/uniontrib/20050721/news_1c21catholic.html
By Sandi Dolbee
RELIGION & ETHICS EDITOR
“A talk by a visiting Catholic priest at an Idaho church is making headlines in Idaho after the bishop there found out the priest has a troubled past in San Diego.The flap involves the Rev. Robert White, a priest of the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego who now lives in Florida and does fundraising for Food for the Poor, a Christian relief agency that aids developing countries in the Caribbean and Latin America.
In 1996, White resigned as pastor of Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church in Ocean Beach “after admitting to misappropriating parish funds for renovation of the rectory and after acknowledging behavior inconsistent with celibate chastity as well as immaturity in relationships with teenagers, according to a diocesan statement at the time. White reportedly was accessing gay chat rooms on a computer.
The diocese said no sexual misconduct was involved and White underwent counseling. In 1998 San Diego Bishop Robert Brom assigned him to St. Catherine Laboure in Clairemont as associate pastor, but that appointment was withdrawn after parishioners protested. A spokesman for the San Diego diocese said Callahan didn’t tell the Idaho diocese about the past incident because he had “forgotten” about it.”
In a statement released Tuesday, Rodrigo Valdivia, chancellor of the San Diego diocese, said Callahan has acknowledged to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Boise “that he mistakenly certified that Father Robert White had never engaged in behavior inconsistent with celibate chastity. He explained that he did so because he forgot about Father White’s activity on the Internet.” The statement continued: “What Monsignor Callahan remembered is that Father White completed a professional evaluation, which concluded that he was without problems that would put others at risk and by that fact prevent him from ministry.

FrMichael, you provided the occasion of sin for someone.
They sure know how to pick`’em down there….
Please read the following, then review the application for found on the diocesan web site.
PRE-APPLICATION STATEMENT TOWARD EMPLOYMENT IN THE CHURCH
Diocese of San Diego
The Church needs the service of dedicated lay persons who have a clear knowledge and proper
understanding of the teachings of the Church with a firm adherence to those teachings, and whose
words and deeds are in conformity with the Gospel. Those employed by the Church in our parishes,
Catholic schools and other institutions, as co-workers in the vineyard of the Lord, are rightly
expected to be practicing Catholics whose faith is an essential part of their daily lives, and who
participate fully in the communal worship and life of the Church.
To be employed by the Church, persons of good faith who are not Catholic must have an
understanding of the Catholic Church and her teachings and respect the Catholic vision on
important social, moral and ethical issues.
The Catholic Church has a special commitment to the poor, the oppressed and the immigrant. It is
committed to promoting a “Culture of Life” from the moment of conception to the moment of
natural death. It believes in the inherent dignity of the human person, created in the image and
likeness of God, and possessing basic rights endowed by God, including the right to life, the right to
religious liberty, and the right to be treated justly with dignity and respect.
So what is wrong with faithful Catholics applying for the job, no matter where they heard about the Diocese opening ?
The past bishop of SD just died. So now there is no sitting bishop. Christie Kirsche is on her own apparently. And with her past job history, she must be on a mission. Keep up the good work Cal Catholic.
Is Cal-Catholic in the habit of taking things from websites without asking permission first? Isn’t that the real issue here? Let’s talk about that
The Director of HR for the Diocese of SD may have asked that job postings be removed from CCD, but I think that the editors owe her an apology for the wrongheaded headline that was used. A ten minute check of the HR section of the Diocese web site would have shown that employees must agree to and sign forms that state that they know, abide by and support the teachings of the Church on abortion, right to life, marriage only between a man and woman, etc. Not good journalism, in my opinion.
Seems like Diocese employers should want to hire those who know the Faith and can serve the Diocese people the best.
Semi-public advertising in Catholic publications can help weed out nepotism.
