KANSAS CITY, Mo. (RNS) A single chime rang out after each abuse
victim’s statement was read over the speakers at the Cathedral of the
Immaculate Conception in downtown Kansas City, a solemn echo to enduring
pain.
It was a simple, symbolic gesture but one that had an almost inexpressible resonance for those who had been abused, and for many Catholics in a diocese so identified with clergy abuse that its last bishop was forced to resign.
