Recently, the Archdiocese of Seattle was in the news because of a report criticizing it for - as the article put it - "poor record keeping and a habit of ignoring troubling behavior by clerics" that continued into the early 1990’s.
The Archdiocese of Portland has declared bankruptcy. The Diocese of Spokane faces claims that total $77 million and filed for bankruptcy protection last week.
The whole thing is an unmitigated mess.
Men of God did abominable things and then others seemingly ignored or, worse, tried to bury the problem.
I can’t defend that.
What I can do, however, is tell you a story.
