	Denial Vs Truthfulness: Mccormack’s NH Record By Carolyn Disco Voice of the Faithful September 15, 2011 http://votf.org/vineyard/Sept8_2011/index.html As Bishop John McCormack approaches retirement with the naming of his successor, the legacy he leaves in New Hampshire is worth examining. His 13 years in the Granite State are certainly momentous, though it is his record in Massachusetts that usually draws attention. But what type of leadership has he exercised here in regard to the signature issue of his ministry, the sexual abuse crisis? Granted, other matters required action: long-range planning for diocesan schools, the consolidation of parishes, the priest shortage, Catholic hospital administration, reduced church attendance, and so forth. These pale in comparison though to the impact of his record in clergy abuse.
