Letter: Column hits the mark concerning clergy abuse
Santa Monica, California --
Dear Editor, As a victim of clergy sexual assault, who struggles everyday for survival, I would like to commend Mr. Montie Pierce's brilliant editorial piece, "Leap of Faith." He has put into words what so many of the survivors/victims of pedophile Roman Catholic priests, brothers, deacons and nuns have been unable to express. Pope John Paul II, along many other pope's before him, knew that the children of the church were being used as objects of sexual gratification by the annointed, yet tarnished members of the Roman Catholic clergy; knowing full well that the laws of man, of nature and of God were being shattered and yet, nothing was done to stop it. When studying this subject of sexual crimes against children by the clergy of the church, we must ask ourselves, not only what could cause such an abandonment of conscience, pity and humanity in seemingly "normal, psuedo-religious" and well educated people, but also, what kind of evil, godless human being could know that children were being sexually butchered, have the power to stop it, (as JP II knew) and still, do nothing? Thanks to the honesty and integrity of the ladies and gentlemen of the world wide press, these stories of clergy child rape have stayed in the news. The stories of the victims/survivors are now being told. And for the first time in the history of the Roman Catholic Church, its children are being protected. Thank you for your courage and humanity. Long live the Fourth Estate!
