Catholic sexual abuse case: here we go again
Breaking news today:
Abuse Case Announced in Mo. Catholic Diocese
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- The Roman Catholic Diocese of Springfield-Cape Girardeau says it has received a credible complaint of sexual abuse against a minor that allegedly occurred in the early to mid-1960s. The diocese says the accused priest, the Rev. Walter C. Craig, died in 1971. The Springfield News-Leader reports that the diocese has notified civil authorities of the allegation. Further details were not released.
But do anything about this, internally, in the Catholic Church? Learn lessons? Try to stop it?
Are you kidding me?

This wasn't worth a post. Next thing you know, we'll be reporting on the historical abuses of slavery in the South by plantation owners.
Ow.
Until the Catholic Church takes real, true, long-term efforts to stop sexual abuse by their leadership, it needs to be pointed out, no matter how old the case.
You need to have and share more opinions, RDM.
