As a parish leader, father of three young daughters and the nephew of a priest, Eric Foy's Catholic world was shaken to the core by revelations of sexual abuse by priests.
"It has tested me a bit with my faith," said Foy, whose testing included learning of accusations against one of the parish priests from his childhood, a man now dead.
