text: As a sixty seven year old victim of clergy abuse, I have seen the Catholic Church continuously try to minimize the abuse. They have done this in various ways. Paying victims for their silence has been the most longstanding and perhaps the most effective way to stop victims. Never, ever has the Church apologized in any meaningful way to victims of clergy abuse. Never, ever have the Dolans in the Church accepted any responsibility for what happened to me and many others. Long ago, I stopped believing that there would be true justice for victims of clergy abuse. I was twelve years old when I was sexually molested by my parish priest after serving Mass back in 1961.The pain and anguish that myself and others suffered can never be compensated for in dollars. Although I understand that many victims want some compensation for all their suffering, I want no money from the Church. What I want is for the Hierarchy of the Church to take responsibility for their part in the harm that was done.
