Two-and-a-half years ago, I was prepared to walk away from the
Catholic Church, along with my family. The reasons are personal,
yet quite universal. Although our experience is deeply painful and
private, and our recovery ongoing, sharing it now is quite cathartic,
and will hopefully help others who feel disenfranchised.
After the Boston Globe exposed sex abuse in the Catholic Church, and the subsequent deceit and deception among the leadership of the Church, we thought the Church leadership learned their lesson never to repeat those mistakes. But what my family and I witnessed during our own ordeal are that the lessons learned are simply to have better legal representation, while continuing to perform in their own best interest.
