This week, a Catholic priest who studied at University of St. Mary of the Lake was arrested for child sex crimes in Albany, New York.

We doubt this is the first time that Fr. James Michael Taylor has hurt a child.

We hope that anyone who saw, suspected or suffered clergy sex crimes or cover ups – whether by Fr. Taylor or other priests, nuns, seminarians, brothers or bishops, and whether in Chicago or Albany – will speak up, call police, protect others and start healing.
