Catholic abuse investigations expand.

RE: Catholic abuse investigations expand.
Yup, and shuffling priests, and sending out thoughts and prayers. Just a few months back they had a big thoughts and prayers gathering about it. Oddly enough, no one was frogmarched out in handcuffs.

As Min pointed out in another thread on this subject...there really is something going on with these folks who play dressup and pretend to speak for god. It's not just the catholics.

Quote:Letter to the Episcopal Church from Presiding Bishop, President of House of Deputies
'Our church must examine its history and come to a fuller understanding of how it has handled or mishandled cases of sexual harassment, exploitation and abuse through the years'

Quote:A HISTORY OF SEXUAL ABUSE BY EPISCOPAL CLERGY

MINNEAPOLIS, MN-An organization calling itself SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests) will file a lawsuit against an Episcopal priest who abused a California youngster years ago, and still serves in a parish today. David Clohessy, 46, a national director of SNAP told VIRTUOSITY that he could not name the priest pending the suit, but would release the name shortly. Clohessy did express one serious concern. "I fear that some 400 ex-Roman Catholic priests will surface in other denominations including the Episcopal Church." (Aug. 2, 2003)

Quote:After the service opened with two reflective songs, Presiding Bishop Michael Curry said that “the church has failed her people.” He said that as successors to the apostles, bishops “hold a particular responsibility to acknowledge the past and help the church move forward.” He said the service would be “a sacred container” for stories of abuse that never should have happened. He added, “There is pain in these stories, there is courage in the people who have offered them.” He then called on bishops and the entire church to honor the courage and vulnerability of victims by being committed to the work of repentance and reconciliation.
