"Cover Up In Archdiocese of Chicago Unfolds

January 21, 2014 by Susan Matthews 40 Comments

Editor’s note: Is there a diocese that hasn’t participated in a clergy sex abuse cover up? If our government were committing crimes like this, people would speak up before moving to another country. Citizens would do this because we are our government. Well, Catholics are the Church even if the Vatican doesn’t recognize it. Will Catholics speak up before walking away from their institutional Church?

This blog is well worth reading. For a non-Catholic like me, reading the comments to the posts made since the trial of Monsignor Flynn has been a heart-rending revelation of many lay Catholics' deep sense of betrayal.
