I attended a Catholic grammar school and high school in Dubuque, Iowa in the 1960's-1970's. Nothing happened at my grammar school that I know of during the time I was there. Unfortunately long after I graduated from my grammar school, some cases of abuse were reported probably about 12 years ago. The Archdiocese of Dubuque paid over $5 million to 26 victims several years ago. The Archdiocese of Chicago has also paid out millions to victims. Same thing has occurred in many other dioceses and archdioceses across the U.S. -- millions paid out to abuse victims.
This has happened from coast to coast...extremely sad; makes me angry that this abuse of children happened for decades with bishops, archbishops and cardinals looking the other way.
