I not Catholic, but my heart aches for the church and for all those who have been sexually victimized. Not only by the Catholic church but Protestant as well.

I know someone very well that was abused in this manner. His life spiraled horribly out of control after the abuse as a child. Sexual immorality, divorce, drug and alcohol addiction...you name it.

Priest or the abuser can be forgiven and continue on celebrating fully in the sacraments of the church....He (the victim) cannot.

Just so sad. When will the Holy See provide remedy and provision for these who just want to receive the holy elements of the covenant meal.

I continue to pray for him, for the church and her leadership, for the abusers.
