Priests are supposed to love children. That’s the message of a
self-published book, “Are You Still a Priest?” by the Rev. Gerald J.
Kleba, pastor of St. Cronan Roman Catholic Church in St. Louis. About 14 years ago, Kleba took over as pastor of a parish devastated by sexual abuse and cover-up.
The sex abuse scandal was erupting in the Boston Archdiocese, thanks to the Boston Globe’s reporting into its failures to protect children from predator priests. In the last week of February 2002, as the Post-Dispatch was preparing its own story about secret settlements by the St. Louis Archdiocese to victims of sexual abuse, the archdiocese removed two priests from their assignments.
