What Happened to Joshua Guimond? (The LeSabre)

Koopmann: Poetry and Cockwarmers
“The Koopmann I know likes to get his students drunk and read ejaculate poetry while trying on hand-knit cockwarmers.” – Former SJU Student (February, 2016)

Rev. Robert Koopmann – Secrets Caught Up
Former St. John’s Abbey monk regarding Rev. Robert Koopmann:
I told you [Koopmann’s] story was yet to be told!! I sent him an email once telling him one day his secrets would be made public and his hypocrisy would do him in. Two weeks later he decided to resign from his position as president of SJU. Still the one guys I know for sure he performed oral sex on in the abbey, who is no longer a monk, will NOT say a word – he’s still very loyal to the order. Even after I tried to persuade him of the damage these men do, he feels he would be a hypocrite to condemn what he so willingly participated in as a monk. – February 13, 2016
Father Brennan Maiers Dies at 86
Father Brennan Maiers was inappropriate with at least six individuals, the youngest victim was believed to be eleven years old. In 1992, the abbey settled with one of Maiers’ victims.
His victims would likely disagree with this line of his obituary:
“Father Brennan was a gentle man of compassion and pastoral alertness.”
