Still today, horrific reports of clergy sexual abuse of children are being made public. There is no end to the pain these survivors suffer. A 46 year old man was found hanged in his own home July 1st in Ebensburg PA. Brian Gergely had found the courage to go public in 2003, telling of Monsignor Francis McCaa sexually abusing him as a ten year old altar boy. Brian gave many interviews in hopes of encouraging other survivors to report their…..
11-’15 SPOTLIGHT movie review
This is a heads-up for anyone still doubting the truth of clergy sexual abuse reports being made against priests in the Catholic Church. This movie exposes the Church Officials’ appalling behavior in just the Boston area; shocking everyone in 2002.
I recently viewed Spotlight at a St Louis South County theatre. Michael Keaton, Mark Ruffalo and Rachel McAdams portray journalists assigned to investigate reports by abuse survivors in Boston. A specific investigative team of the Globe…..
This November 7, 2015 article by Bill Draper, Associated Press, appeared on www.stltoday.com.
“Kansas City – A Missouri prosecutor has called out members of a small community for shunning a sexual abuse victim while publicly supporting a community leader who confessed to molesting her for more than a decade.”

A lot of people ask me, “Why did you write this book?”
Learning back in the late 80s that my own brother, a Catholic priest, was a child molester, completely stunned me, but I didn’t doubt my daughter’s words as she painfully spoke of her Uncle Norman’s behavior. I thank God she found the courage to tell me about him.
I called a close family friend who had been a good support through rough times in our lives, a priest…..

Laure McCourt Lopez Book Review: “No Longer on Pedestals” by Carol Kuhnert By Laure McCourt Lopez Mar 22, 2015 – 3:24:50 AM 
In life, there are subjects that one may find difficult to discuss and then there are those topics that create such an emotional upheaval within the soul that few dare venture to acknowledge let alone give…..
After learning in 1988 that my brother had been sexually abusing young boys, I had gone to a Church official, expecting him to tell me that he was being watched or in therapy. I expected an answer.
I received no information at all.
When I spoke with the church official, he told me that this was not my problem to worry about, and the Church would take care of everything. As time passed, decade-by-decade, I continued to question Church officials…..
