Oh, I know victims of sexual abuse at the hands of a priest and I know the priest who did it. It is serious. I say this as a Catholic who has survived the last few years of scandal. IF we don’t look at all aspects of the problem and address the things we can we are foolish.
For my sons, who were alter boys, I wondered why the priests would want them hanging around the rectory after school until evening mass and when they pestered me and told me the other boys were doing it I said “NO WAY!” In hindsight it was a vatic decision on my part. My boys were spared.
Are you blaming the victims by saying that their parents should have been more mindful of where they were spending their time?
