Socorro | BS: Catholic Bishop & Priest PART 2 (49) | RE: BS: Catholic Bishop & Priest PART 2 | 14 Apr 02 |
The problem with "let's just put this behind us", is that while it serves the interests of the Catholic hierarchy, it does not serve the interests of the victims. Victims of any crime need to see justice done, which means bringing perpetrators to trial, so they can see that actions have consequences (even for priests). After justice is done, then the victim can start the healing work that includes forgiveness. |
