Catholic Priest Draws Fire For Speaking Out

Today's Washington Post featured an article about a Catholic priest who revealed that he was sexually abused when he was young. He recently told his story about the abuse. The leaders of the Catholic church immediately took his credentials from him. Also, the Washington Hospital Center fired him.

This article further proves that the Catholic church stills wants to keep their sexual abuse problems quiet. They are giving millions of dollars to victims in exchange for silence.

The fact that this priest was fired further gives credence to those victims that are fearful of telling their story. Sadly, many victims are PUNISHED for coming out (rather than the abuser themselves).

Truth be told, the Catholic church is probably not the only organization having these issues. I'm sure there are many white and black Christian churches that have the same problem. Hopefully, those abusers will be exposed at some point.
