Timeline
On November 9, 2021, a Providence grand jury indicted James Silva, a diocese priest, on 11 counts of sexual assault between 1989 and 1990. The Providence Journal article mentioned a 1980 lawsuit against Gelineau from parents of a boy in Burrillville, Rhode Island, who claimed Silva assaulted him. Gelineau then transferred Silva to St. Lucy's parish in Middletown, Rhode Island, without notifying that parish or the authorities. When informed that Silva had molested a child at St. Lucy's, Gelineau's response was “Oh, no. Not again!"
On March 21, 2020, Gelineau was accused by Jeannette Costa, a parishioner in Cranston, Rhode, of ignoring a sexual abuse accusation by her son in 1993 against Daniel Azzarone, the parish priest. She sent a letter to Gelineau in June 1993 after her son told her that Azzerone had fondled him during the 1980's. Costa was contacted in 1993 by a diocese lawyer who said that Azzarone's parish priest would watch over him. In response to this accusation in 2020, the diocese said that they reported Azzerone in 1993 to a state agency in Rhode Island that declined to prosecute him. Azzerone remained in ministry.
In a 2018 interview with the Providence Journal, Gelineau denied any intention to ever cover up sexual abuse crimes. On October 2, 2019, Gelineau and the diocese were named in a lawsuit by Philip Edwardo. The plaintiff said that Gelineau helped perpetrate sexual abuse by Philip Magaldi, a parish priest, against Edwardo when he was a minor between 1978 and 1983. On February 28, 2020, Gelineau and the diocese were sued by Robert Houllahan, who alleged sexual abuse by Normand Demers, a parish priest. Houllahan claimed that Demers was also preying on other boys in Haitian orphanages and rectories in Rhode Island while the diocese was protecting him. Citing his advanced age, Gelineau declined comment on the lawsuit
Since his retirement in 2004, Gelineau has been named in multiple lawsuits regards sexual abuse by priests in the diocese during his tenure as bishop.
In a 1997 legal deposition, Robert Cadorette accused Gelineau of abusing him when Gelineau was a brother assigned to St. Joseph’s Orphanage in Burlington in the 1950's. Cadorette claimed that on one occasion in 1951, Galineau tried to pull down Cadorette's fly. When Cadorette ran away, Galineau caught and tried to drown him. In a 1997 legal deposition, Gelineau denied any sexual misdeeds with an altar server in 1994.
After a 25-year-long tenure, Gelineau submitted his letter of resignation as bishop of Providence to Pope John Paul II. The pope accepted it on June 11, 1997. Gelineau became chaplain at St. Antoine Residence in North Smithfield, Rhode Island, in March 2004.
In 1995, when the Rhode Island Senate passed a LGBT rights bill, Gelineau stated, "If [proposed legislation] seeks to afford protection from unjust discrimination, which is not now afforded under our laws, then those laws should be changed."
In 1985, Gelineau registered opposition to a 1985 ordinance for the City of Providence to protect LGBT people from discrimination in employment, housing, credit and access to public accommodations. He said,
On December 6, 1971, Pope Paul VI appointed Gelineau as the sixth bishop of Providence. He received his episcopal consecration on January 26, 1972, from Bishop Joyce, with Bishops Bernard Flanagan and Edward O'Leary serving as co-consecrators. In 1988, Gelineau declared that removing a feeding tube from 48-year-old Marcia Gray, a comatose Rhode Island woman, "does not contradict Catholic moral theology," but emphasized that he "in no way supports or condones the practice of euthanasia."
Gelineau became chancellor of the diocese in 1961 and was raised to the rank of papal chamberlain by Pope John XXIII. In 1968, he became vicar general of the diocese and a prelate of his holiness.
Gelineau was sent to Washington, D.C. to study at the Catholic University of America in 1957, earning a Licentiate of Canon Law in 1959. Returning to Vermont, he was named assistant chancellor of the diocese and secretary and master of ceremonies to Bishop Robert Joyce.
