For Years, Deaf Boys Tried to Tell of Priest’s Abuse

This is very troubling:
"They were deaf, but they were not silent. For decades, a group of men who were sexually abused as children by the Rev. Lawrence C. Murphy at a school for the deaf in Wisconsin reported to every type of official they could think of that he was a danger, according to the victims and church documents."

What I personally detest in the Catholic church is the persistent attitude of not listening to people in pains and eventually turning to blame the victims. I am ready to pardon all human weaknesses; in fact, no one expects people to be perfect all the time, but at least one should acknowledge one's mistakes. Criticize a Catholic priest and he would ask his faithful to pray for you. I detest this with my whole heart.
Anyway, this is one of the torrents of scandals rocking the church. I hope that the church wakes up. It has so much to lose, and we wouldn't be better served if the church becomes that weak.
ENJOY.
