	Boston College Failing Innocent Children NSAP March 29, 2011 http://nationalsurvivoradvocatescoalition.wordpress.com/press-release/ Boston College failing innocent children “Church in the 21st Century” program has lost its way WHAT Speaking publicly and passing out flyers, alumni of Boston College will urge Boston College officials and students to: — contact officials of the C21C program (617 552 0470/) and urge them to: — a.) HELP us restore integrity to the C21C Program; and — b.) issue a public apology for the hurt they are causing — c.) establish an outreach to survivors to recover some needed sensitivity WHEN Today, Tuesday, March 29 at 3:15 p.m. WHERE Boston College Main Gate at 140 Commonwealth Ave, Chestnut Hill, MA [Boyden Park entrance] WHO Two or three individuals, including a 1958 alumni of Boston College WHY Boston College’s Church in the 21st Century (C21C) program was started as a response to the clergy sexual abuse revelations in 2002. In recent months it has honored two clerics who have been responsible for the climate which made this scandal possible. Invited speaker Francis Cardinal George of Chicago ignored his own review board’s recommendation to remove Rev. McCormack as a pastor. Within months McCormack abused another child and was arrested. McCormack is now in jail and Francis George is an honored guest speaker at C21C. What is wrong with this picture? Invited speaker Roger Cardinal Mahony of Los Angeles lied under oath about pedophile activity in his diocese during the infamous trial of Rev. Oliver O’Grady. O’Grady was jailed but on release given a guaranteed retirement package by Mahoney. O Grady left the US ignoring subpoenas for further testimony. Recently, as part of his $660 million abuse settlement Mahony agreed to release diocesan documents on the alleged abusers named by victims. He is now funding court action by these individuals to prevent the release of documents. Roger Mahony is today’s honored guest speaker. What is wrong with this picture?
