Minnesota boy sought refuge in church, was sexually abused instead

The Diocese of Duluth does not dispute that the boy was abused. It asserts, however, that it wasn’t responsible because the predatory priest belonged to a religious order and was not a diocesan priest. 

John Doe 30 grew up in rural Minnesota the youngest of seven. He loved animals. He loved the Catholic Church. But he didn’t fit in, his attorney Jeff Anderson said Wednesday, and he paid the price. His brothers and classmates called him derogatory names because they thought he was effeminate.
