As a survivor of priest sexual abuse and torture, by a priest at the St Thomas More parish in Durham NH, I came out about my own abuse a little over a year ago. Since then I have seen the leaders of the RCC, like Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Michael Leveda and their pet pit bull Bill Donohue, President of the Catholic League attacking us victims and putting the church before all of us. Cardinal Timothy Dolan, proves by his words just who he is concerned with in relation to his speech when New York passed the same sex marriage law, to wit: "Dolan also explained that he wanted to keep the statute of limitations for child sex abuse victims to one-year, because if the church gets sued, "The perpetrators don’t suffer. There’s no burden on them. What suffers are the services and the ministries of the apostolates that we’re doing now. Because where does the money come from? So the bishops of 30 years ago that allegedly may have reassigned abusers, they don’t suffer. They’re dead. So the people that suffer are those who are being served right now by the church. We feel that’s a terribly unjust burden." So Cardinal Timothy Dolan only cares about the "unjust burden" and "suffering" of the church and not the unjust burden and suffering of us victims. I wonder how Cardinal Timothy Dolan would love to have the nightmares of being gang raped in hell by demons that I have had almost nightly since the rape. Of course this is not suffering and an unjust burden on me is it Cardinal Dolan?
There is no doubt that this is the greatest trajety that has hit any Christian Community, but the church was not the only place this type of thing happened. Depsite everything the amount of Siko priests is a very small percentage. There is one group here who have never been challenged in all of this. They are flesh and blood relatives who abandoned their own at orphanage doors to meet whatever fate would be theirs. Has anyone pulled to task the Saturday night studs who left the products of their Saturday night hunt to grow up fatherless? This is where the abuse started. Not every child who entered an orphanage was abused by those who ran or worked in them, but every child sent to an orphanage was abused by their own relatives when they were cast to the wind.
Good!
Not only were molested children victim's of priestly abuse, good living, church-attending, God-fearing adult lay Catholics are being made to suffer the consequences of these abusive priests who caused several churches in the Boston area to be closed.
The truth always comes out; no matter how hard the powers that be in Rome tried to suppress it. When people view the Boston scandal on film it will have even deeper impact and will create even greater empathy for the victims of Geoghan, Shanely and others who destroyed the young lives of children and families across Massachusetts. Cardinal Law should be forced to view the film (in America) and then be driven off to jail to serve his term.
