😻 Everyone I’ve known who was an Altar boy,
in a church choir, or who went to a Catholic school,
was sexually or emotionally abused.
I’m not saying all priests/nuns are twisted,
but I've never heard a happy story
including from my own mother who went to a convent school
& who had nightmares about it her whole life 💖

The L.A. Catholic archdiocese has agreed
to a massive settlement with more than 1,353 people
who were sexually abused as children by Catholic priests,
dating as far back as the 1950’s.
The $880 MILLION settlement, coupled with a previous settlement,
brings the total payout to more than $1.5 BILLION.
The Guardian
“While there is no amount of money that can replace
what was taken from these 1,353 brave individuals
who have suffered in silence for decades,
there is justice in accountability,”
the plaintiffs’ liaison counsel said.
🎥 “More than 300 Catholic priests have been accused..
of sexually abusing minors.”
I went to a Catholic school and had a great education and experience. No abuse of any kind. This was in the 60’s and 70’s. My 4 sons were all altar boys, as well as my husband and they have all said no abuse. There unfortunately were many twisted individuals purposely let into the priesthood-infiltration. It is so terrible what they did. There are also many falsely accused priests. The dioceses do not defend any priests anymore and immediately pay out millions as soon as there is any accusation. Lawyers and “victims” are making out like bandits. Look into Fr. Gordon MacCrae and his prison blog, Beyond These Stone Walls for an example.
