On September 23, 2010, Rev. Gordon MacRae marked sixteen years in a cell in the New Hampshire State Prison. Father MacRae is 57 years old. The crimes for which he was accused and convicted are claimed to have occurred when he was between 25 and 30 years old. Brought with no evidence or corroboration whatsoever, the claims were accompanied by lawsuits settled by his Diocese for hundreds of thousands of dollars despite evidence of fraud. In 2005, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist for The Wall Street Journal published an account of the travesty of justice by which Father Gordon MacRae was convicted (Dorothy Rabinowitz, "A Priest's Story," The Wall St. Journal, April 27/28, 2005). It is a story, as described by Father Richard John Neuhaus in First Things magazine, of "a Church and a justice system that seem indifferent to justice." Father MacRae maintains his innocence of these crimes, and could have left prison over 14 years ago had he accepted any of the "plea deals" presented to him before trial. In the years since the panic-driven and selective release of files and other accumulated claims and demands for money --" but no evidence --" some began to take a closer look under the surface of the case against Father Gordon MacRae. What is found there is troubling to anyone concerned for the state of due process, justice, and liberty in America. The late Cardinal Avery Dulles and The Rev. Richard John Neuhaus encouraged Father MacRae to write. Cardinal Dulles wrote in 2005: "Someday your story and that of your fellow sufferers will come to light and will be instrumental in a reform. Your writing, which is clear, eloquent, and spiritually sound will be a monument to your trials." In 2006, Cardinal Dulles asked Father MacRae to contribute "a new chapter to the volume of Christian literature from believers who were unjustly imprisoned." Fr. MacRae's writings from prison have appeared in First Things, Catalyst, The Catholic Response, online at PriestsinCrisis.com and numerous Catholic blogs, and weekly at www.TheseStoneWalls.com. These Stone Walls and Father Gordon MacRae's defense are sponsored by The National Center for Reason and Justice (www.ncrj.org), and endorsed by the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights and numerous organizations dedicated to correcting injustice and wrongful convictions in the American criminal justice system.
