support group for victims of clergy sexual abuse has taken issue with Archbishop of New Orleans Gregory Aymond's
plan for a special ritual in which the Roman Catholic Church will seek
forgiveness from people it has hurt. The group says tangible steps are
needed more than "words, gestures and apologies."
Aymond has set "a ritual of forgiveness and resurrection" as part of the annual Divine Mercy Sunday Mass that he will celebrate April 3 at St. Joseph Church in New Orleans. The rite "seeks forgiveness and reconciliation with those who have been hurt or alienated by the church either through institutional or individual offenses," the archdiocese said.
