Eight Years Since the Sexual Abuse Scandal Broke in Boston, Still No End in Sight

By Patrick Noaker

It has been about eight years since the sex abuse scandal in Boston became public. It is sad that despite thousands of lawsuits across the nation, there still remains and endless number of examples of institutional cover-up within the Catholic hierarchy. Yesterday we filed a fraud lawsuit involving Fr. Thomas Stitts and the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis. In this case, the Archdiocese misled parishioners at St. Leo’s parish in the Highland Park neighborhood of St. Paul by representing to them that Fr. Stitts was safe around children when the Archdiocese knew full well that he was a child molester.

  1. For the longest time, I held out hope that the church would change, but it seems as if every day there is news like this. That's why I executed a "formal act of defection." I needed a "divorce" from the church. For my own ability to move on. I doubt they care.

    I remain a committed Christian, I just don't think the roman catholic church is following the teachings of Christ. "Tend my sheep," was His direction to Peter. Is this how they tend His flock?

    It is unfortunate, because in many respects the RCC is the world leader in social justice. There just isn't any social justice for those they have harmed, unless they seek recourse through the law, and then you have to be prepared to be attacked, maligned, and torn to bits by their paid attack dogs.

    If you can persevere, you can get a measure of justice, but it isn't easy.

  3. How can this country have a congressional investigation of a bunch of overpaid baseball players doing steroids and turn around and not only ignore but make laws to protect hundreds maybe thousands of sexual predator priests.
