I know several victims some of them died horribly because of the abuse.
Are you in Canada Howard? Do you mean victims of clercial sexual abuse who committed suicide?
I found this link and it speaks to how survivors are impacted throughout their life. I realize this may be very difficult to read for some of the persons who frequent this site but it makes me think about comments i’ve read here that minimize about the sexual, emotional, physical and psychological abuse being just a wee little problem in the clerical world….If you are the survivor of the wee little problem it is pretty devastating. Consider if the church only murdered a few of their parishner as long as 99.9 percent of the time they do good it would be acceptable. Belly button thinking this church.

But Jesus said, “Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

Tom Flanagan brought me here- ever since the video of him was released on Twitter on Wednesday night, I have been obsessively following the fallout. I am relieved that people have repudiated him- but I think that this website in its entirety shows me that talk is cheap. Yes, a country got an absolute ignorant person fired- but when I look at the minimal or non existent sentences that people receive for exploiting children in person, in pictures or both, I am completely horrified. I have no words for what I have read here tonight, and found out that in my part of the world there are more than 10 cases of priests being moved around by a hierarchy that seems to not understand how this affects the least of these. I am sick of people coming to their defense. I am livid that these things are not treated as a reason to stop paying the piper, and that some have the temerity to blame the victim. I have a new respect for those who must hear these stories and see these pictures as part of their job, and who must seek help to deal with this darkness.
My best to you Sylvia.
Here is a link to the video in question and some of the resultant media coverage.
01 March 2013: VIDEO and media coverage re Tom Flanagan child porn remarks
All I can say in this fiasco is that there is something wrong with someone who apparently sees no harm in viewing child pornography.
Please, anyone who is concerned about this matter should immediately write to Rob Nicholson (Attorney General of Canada) and voice your opinion!
The Justice Department is in the process of drafting a new “Victim’s Bill of Rights”, and this I believe should include young children used in the making of these sick, deviant videos!
I sense that public pressure could possibly assist in the drafting of this bill. Please voice your concerns! Mike.
10s of millions suffer and die yearly from the more pressing issues of war and famine (a DAILY torture to go through. Not largely an emotional one.).
I was sexually abused by a family member growing up. When we become men, we can see our problem as excruciating pain, or we can rise above it, and realize, it’s simply fickle in light of the far greater suffering taking place in the world. That makes it easy.
I’m not Catholic, but if you’re going to target child molesters as a most important issue in the world (which I don’t suggest you do by your amount of energy), you’d best, at least, cast a wide net and target all areas of administration where adults are placed in areas of trust over minors, which I’d gather the majority-slanderers on this website do not.
A website full of slander and outright falsehoods, which also engages in comment moderation? I have a feeling my time here has been wasted.
Chancet…you are an idiot just looking for a fight with someone. Go elsewhere and let us continue our work here which incidentally, is about “Blogging the sex abuse scandal and betrayals of trust in the Roman Catholic Church in Canada”. Nothing more and nothing less. You just keep foaming at the mouth and move on to another website where you might get the help you need.
Chancet;
You have deep issues that cannot be helped here. Mike.

PJ – where are you? Mike.
Talk about divine intervention…I just visited this site for the first time in a long time and here you are Mike asking where I am. I’m doing fine although there have been a number of life changing events which have occupied my time over the past few years. My father died tragically last March and it has deeply affected me but things are getting better. I am also retiring this coming August which seems unreal to me. Our lawsuit was settled with my case settling within a week after the ar$ehole died. It was settled on April Fools Day and he went to his judgement day on Easter Sunday…talk about coincidences. How are you doing? Now that I have reconnected, I am going to be more regular on this site to support others going through what I did. If there is there anything you need to contact me about, feel free to do so.
Mike, I did reply to this yesterday but for some reason it never appeared here. I came to the website yesterday after a long period of downtime. It was bittersweet to settle my lawsuit on April Fools Day, about 6 days after sullivan died on Easter Sunday. I needed to avoid a lot of sites and situations that would cause me grief but now that things are leveling off, I want to start monitoring posts here to support others who had supported me. How have you been? Sylvia has my email address and if you want to converse that way, I give her permission to give you my address. Would love to reconnect.
