This is a response to the article
regarding the substantiated allegations of abuse of a minor at the
hands of Rev. Larry Jensen of St. Joseph Maronite Catholic Church
(”Waterville priest removed from duties over allegations of sexual abuse
15 years ago in Connecticut,” May 8).
I was deeply disturbed to read this, even more so, I am disturbed that this has become commonplace in the Catholic church. Perverse sexual abuse at the hands of Catholic priests can no longer be written off as merely an isolated incident. It is rampant. Not only is there not enough being done to prevent it, the punishment for such abuse is too light.
