It’s Not the Crime, It’s the Coverup that Eventually Comes Back to Haunt You 0

(Link fixed.)

The worst aspect of priestly abuse amongst the Catholic priesthood was not the abuse. It was bad and worse, but not worst.

You will find sickos in every profession, though they are more noticeable when their career choice entails publicly scolding others for their behavior.

The worst aspect was that management not only failed to stop it, but also covered it up for decades.

Now a jury has hit management where it hurts: in the budget:

A jury awarded abuse survivor John Vai $30 million in damages for the childhood sexual abuse he suffered at the hands of defrocked priest Francis DeLuca today, and found that St. Elizabeth’s Parish was grossly negligent in its failure to supervise DeLuca in the late 1960s, and should pay at least $3 million of that damage award.

Sometimes, eventually is a long, long time, but eventually it arrives.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
