  • Independent Report on Priest Sex Abuse Cases for the Diocese of Burlington, VT. (1950 to 2019) Child Sexual Abuse Is a Crime An
    Independent Report on Priest Sex Abuse Cases for the Diocese of Burlington, VT. (1950 to 2019) Child sexual abuse is a crime and a sin in the Catholic Church. Bishop Christopher J. Coyne, who took over the Diocese of Burlington in January 2015, decided in October 2018 to join many other Dioceses across the nation to release the names of priests that had credible allegations of sexual abuse filed against them by victims who were under the age of 18 at the time of the incident. Bishop Coyne announced he would appoint an independent citizen panel to comb through the diocesan personnel files to compile a list of priests with credible allegations against them. It should be noted this Committee is separate and apart from a State Task Force created in September 2018 by prosecutors, police and politicians. Each individual responded affirmatively when asked to serve on this Review Committee. We are parents, spouses and siblings - some working, some retired. From the start, we each appreciated the gravity of the task before us. All team members brought their own gifts and perspectives, and each became an invaluable resource for the integrated group. We brought together our shared intellect, insight and empathy. The importance of the organizational and note-taking skills of many in the group were critical to the process. The volume of the files we were presented with was itself a challenge. Files were made available to the team in digital and paper form. Honest discussions always were motivated by fairness - fairness to victims and their families and fairness to those accused.
