A few months ago, Bishop John Barres of the Diocese of Allentown sent home a letter after all Masses that complained about the cost of reimbursing victims of sexual abuse.
I understand it is expensive, since there are victims and lawsuits all over the globe. As a psychotherapist, I know how expensive it is to be a victim of sexual abuse. There are some issues that clear up quickly, and sexual abuse is not one of them. It takes most survivors decades of treatment to fully recover.
