it is the only price you have to pay... we paid the price of being
abused... and raped... by nuns and priest... with our lives... the
catholic church took everything from us... our families... our faith...
our innocents... our childhood... they left us with our shame... our
guilt... our pain... our torment... our will to live... our trust was
gone forever... Ann

================================
Archbishop Blase Cupich acknowledged on Friday the archdiocese's
financial burdens — largely caused by sex abuse settlements — are
causing a strain, but he said the church will continue its mission while
considering how to handle the problem.
Taking questions at an unrelated press conference, Cupich confirmed what has been publicly disclosed in financial statements: that the archdiocese's finances are shaky and that he will have to consider parish consolidations and closures.https://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20160408/gold-coast/with-sex-scandal-draining-finances-catholic-parish-closures-will-continue
