From the former North Catholic High School
in Pittsburgh's Troy Hill to Australia, 157 victims have accused 31
members of the Marianist order of sexual abuse, records show.
Watchdog groups, victims and their attorneys
say officials with the religious order failed to stop the abuse or to
adequately supervise those accused. Experts say such abuse went on for
decades in part because of a culture that granted members of religious
groups more credibility than children.
