As a devout Catholic, it was tough for retired Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Thomas Nurre to hear the horror of sex abuse on minors by employees of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.
"With my Catholic background and being Catholic all my life, it was a very difficult thing to do. Under those circumstances, it has an effect on you," said Nurre, who still hears cases as a visiting judge.
As a person, it was tough for Matt Garretson to share the hurt suffered by the victims of priest abuse.
"You would be inhuman if you didn't feel the pain they are feeling," said attorney Garretson, administrator of the fund established to financially compensate victims of abuse by archdiocese employees.
