The Catholic Church in Vermont has allegedly paid 30 million dollars for their on-going child sexual abuse and cover up scandal.

We are glad that Vermont citizens and Catholics have a clearer idea about how much their still-secretive Catholic officials have spent so far on clergy sex abuse cases. The real figure we suspect is much, much higher, because of numerous secret settlements and gag orders. And of course, this crisis is ongoing.

Victims often come forward decades after their abuse occurred, suffering in silence and self-blame. It is never too late to come forward, report what you know and start healing.

We urge everyone who saw, suspected or suffered clergy sex crimes and cover ups in Vermont to speak up, call police, protect kids, expose predators and start healing.
