Database of Priests Accused of Sexual Abuse
You can find the 3300 "listed" priests on......

This is JUST the ones in the USA.
Thousands more went unreported.
Then add the thousands more in dozens of other countries. |
It is more than awful, absolutely indefensible and most of us know it is time for a change. In Cincinnati our bishop was unrelenting in exposing any clergy to the authorities. It is inexcusable and wrong and beyond terrible and I can see why so many have turned away from the church. I believe that change will come.
There are many good people in the Catholic Church. We have some wonderful and caring priests at St. Timothy's and the priest that just was moved from St.Vincent de Paul was a grandfather who became a priest after his wife died.
I hear what you are both saying and you are right but many of us still find good in the church. I hope that people who are non Catholics understand.
