LETTER: Church leadership continues to dismiss abuse reports

Church leadership continues to dismiss abuse reports I applaud Tom Marsh’s recent “On the Other Hand” column concerning the openness with which we as a nation are discussing sexual abuse. Tom speaks of the avalanche of stories touching the military, business, politics, entertainment and academic worlds. He contends that successful perpetrators need the silence of those who know or suspect abuse is taking place and rightly submits that people protecting abusers are as guilty as those for whom they are covering up. He concludes the best defense against abuse is a society unwilling to allow it.
