Five years ago I met John Wojnowski on Day 121
of my Year of Giving. He’s an intriguing man. Every day he sits in
front of the Vatican’s embassy here in Washington with signs condemning
the Catholic Church. I wondered why, so one day I went to talk with him.
It turns out Wojnowski, who is Polish but moved as a child to Italy, says that when he was 15 he was sexually abused by a Catholic priest in Milan. Despite the Catholic Church settling hundreds (possibly thousands) of cases of sexual abuse in recent years, they have been reluctant to consider Mr. Wojnowski’s claims because, according to Wojnowski, the priest has since past away and the incident happened more than a half century ago.
