George Leo Thomas says the church had a duty to step up and accept
responsibility for former priests and other employees who were accused
of sexually abusing children, and he said it would have been wrong not
to acknowledge their pain and suffering.
Thomas told the Independent Record (http://tinyurl.com/jf6vp9c
) in an interview that the church could have fought claims by people in
Montana who said they were abused, but it would not be right and they
might never have seen a resolution to their cases.
