The structures and theology of the Catholic Church make it the ideal environment to enact and conceal clerical sexual abuse, professor Robert Orsi said in a lecture.
The talk, titled “Violence, Memory, and Religion Among Survivors of Clerical Sexual Abuse” was the 2017 Lester Lecture, an annual lecture sponsored by the Religious Studies department in honor of Robert Lester, late founder of the CU Religious Studies program. The series is meant to “address contemporary issues in the academic study of religion.”
