Only one group knew there were at least a hundred thousand victims of pedophile priests as far back as the 1980s, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, and they took steps right then to manage the message. <br><br>Lots of unanswered questions here, as the questions have yet to be asked by anyone but a few of us, who have as a result been marginalized.Kay Ebelinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13753284586265566961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-6657838269424630082012-05-23T12:38:18.032-04:002012-05-23T12:38:18.032-04:00New post at City of Angels Blog: http://cityofang...New post at City of Angels Blog: <br>http://cityofangels12.blogspot.com/2012/05/lessons-learned-from-life-among.html<br>about a book by survivor Hank Estrada, molested in seminary. <br><br>“On one occasion, Father John rubbed himself up against me so much that he climaxed right in his walking shorts.

In this position he has/had the cardinal's ear in recommending who goes where as far as parish assignments are concerned. Yes, the Cardinal has the "final say" -- but Lynn had his ear and I am sure most "receommednations" made by Lynn were followed. In his position Lynn would have full knowledge of abuse accusations -- in the case of repeasted accusatioin on the same perpetrator, I would HOPE that he had soul/conscience enough to NOT recommend someone to a position where he could influence innocent children. Perhaps I am a dreamer. As a priest I NEVER thought the chruch woujld slam the door in my face when I announced that I too was a victim of abuse - but that is what happened in 2006 in Washington DC. In taking this action against me they (hierarchy) threw me back on that bed in August 1970 when I was raped. They showed no compassion. No humanity. They just wanted to cover themselves.

Not the effeminate Bill Donahue or David Pierre's stance around SNAP but by the victims who've worked closest to SNAP. Allegations made by Kay Ebeling and myself; (victims who sign our names to our posts) and other victims that SNAP is the Church. SNAP created to control victims, what we say and how we are seen by the public. Not a small story in the history of this scandal.jim robertsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11021237370520134041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-16003302592126983982012-05-23T05:27:02.762-04:002012-05-23T05:27:02.762-04:00Lawyers advised McCulkin, "he did not have to...Lawyers advised McCulkin, "he did not have to contact the police as most sex allegations reported to the archdiocese were by adults in their 20s and 30s.
