Full investigation is needed

If a CFO, a CEO or a boss of any kind in any organization was accused of sexually molesting children, everyone from top to bottom would rightfully expect the allegations to be investigated, reviewed, shown to be true or shown to be false . ...

Not so, apparently, when it comes to religious organizations, a place where people go for spiritual guidance and where they can be at their most vulnerable.

We are extremely disappointed about accusations that spiritual leaders molested children and others, over the years, and other church leaders took steps to protect the alleged molesters.

This has happened in the Catholic church for decades, apparently.

Offending priests were transferred to different parishes, foisted upon unsuspecting families whose children were victimized.

The cycle repeated itself, over and over again, according to a Pennsylvania grand jury report released earlier this year.

More than 1,000 victims and more than 300 priests and bishops were identified as perpetrators, according to the report . ...

Sexual predators who hide behind the cloak of a spiritual leader’s collar are the worst kind of predators, in our view. Victimizing families that seek spiritual guidance, taking advantage of position in this way against them and their children, is a horrendous act.
