I wonder what”s going on? First David Clohessy, now Barbara Blaine? My prayer is that victims are not hurt in the process or fall-out.
07 February 2017: “Father Thomas Doyle tells royal commission Vatican failed sex abuse victims” & related articles
As many know, I am no fan of Father Doyle. At this time I choose to keep to keep some of he reasons to myself, but one involves Father Doyle’s interaction with Dick Nadeau starting in 2000, and, after Dick’s death, subsequent testimony in 2007 as an expert witness at the Cornwall Public Inquiry. I blogged my thoughts on 07 November 2007, and also posted “Besmirching the Dead.“
Dick, a victim of Father Hector Cote, a Viatorian priest at the Cornwall Classical College, became a dear friend. He was quite a character, gruff, fearless in his efforts to expose the Cornwall sex abuse cover-up, and quite a researcher. Over the years we became good friends. He confided in me frequently . I think I said all I wanted to say before.
I did try to watch Father Doyle’s testimony last evening. I lasted an hour 🙁 I did however post the transcript:
