She is civilly suing the diocese for damages for what he allegedly told her, to my understanding. Which is something like, ‘you shouldn’t tell anyone, too many people will be hurt’ according to her. The actual abuser has since died, the abuse happened years ago.
I’ve heard several things about this case going back one or two years now, and there are still points I don’t get. One is if it was an actual confession where he told her the actionable advice. Two, is if the Church is trying to not let HER testify because they know the priest can’t defend himself no matter if he is innocent or not. Three, why hasn’t this been hashed out before now if the law was changed in the 90s?

Thank you! I knew there had to be more to the story.
