Part 1
“My wife just had a baby”—true, but this happened quite a few years ago...
“I was late to work because I had a flat tire”—not true because I always walked to work. “My son Billy just hit a home run in Little League”—not true. I have a son, but his name is not Billy.
”Hey, Honey, I got the promotion...” True, but then I quit due to stress...
These are some statements that if shared with somebody would not be questioned, but why is it that we get a different response when a victim cries out for help and says “Fr. So And So sexually molested me?”
“I went to another priest in a confessional and told him about Fr. So And So molesting me, and the priest pulled me by the hair and threw me down the stairs and told me never to come back.”
In your recent article, part five, this statement just blew me away!
