Bishop Ronald Gainer recently submitted a letter to the newspaper
stating that his “heart aches” for victims of sexual abuse. He
apologizes "for the harm that has been inflicted on them.”
All well and good, Bishop Gainer. However, may we remind you that reconciliation is not as simple as saying you are sorry? It is also promising not to sin again by totally righting the wrong, not just partially.
