Great column. I grew up a Catholic, but several incidents caused me to pass on it. I suspected many of these things but am still shocked. Thanks for your insight.

I was not aware of all this until I read it in the Post Star yesterday. I am glad that they extended The Child Victim Act. I think they should allow priests to marry in view of this.

This is horrific. There’s similar horrors that were and are still going unpunished in our family court system. Are these horrific crimes less serious because they are being committed by a family member? Often the child’s own father or stepfather? The family court system is not protecting children.
