  • Clergy Sex Abuse of Females Complicates Intricate Issue
    The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests Female Victims Female Victims of Clergy Abuse Recent stories of interest BACK TO: Female victims Clergy sex abuse of females story list complicates intricate issue By MATT STEARNS and JUDY L. THOMAS The Kansas City Star - July 12, 2002 They are the forgotten victims of clergy sex abuse, neglected by the media and overlooked by church activists. Yet many experts estimate that females -- both girls and women -- constitute a sizable number of all victims of sexual abuse by priests. The public focus of the sex abuse scandal in the Roman Catholic Church has been on predatory homosexual behavior by rogue priests, and the subsequent cover-up by some bishops. As a result, female victims say they feel frustrated and isolated as they attempt to deal with the emotional aftermath of sex abuse. And, others say, dealing with those victims presents a unique set of problems for the church -- and for those looking to blame the crisis on gay priests. "They were totally unwilling to really acknowledge that what happened to me was really terrible," said Corinne Corley, a Kansas City attorney who said she was sexually abused by a priest in the Archdiocese of St. Louis when she was a teen-ager in the 1970s. "Because of the heterosexual factor, they're going to assume that you were Lolita, a temptress." "The double standard is terrible," agreed Gary Schoener, a clinical psychologist in Minneapolis who has handled hundreds of clergy abuse cases. "It is presumed that the abuse of young boys is more deviant and therefore more harmful." Financial settlements involving female victims tend to be smaller than settlements for male victims, Schoener said.

  • Transitional Justice and the Legacy of Child Sexual Abuse in the Catholic Church
    CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TRANSITIONAL JUSTICE AND THE LEGACY OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH Elizabeth B. Ludwin King* I. INTRODUCTION In 1998, John Geoghan, a Massachusetts priest, was defrocked— stripped of any rights to perform as an ordained priest—for molesting children.1 Four years later, the Archbishop of Boston, Bernard Law, arguably one of the most influential people in the state, resigned from his position upon revelations that he knew of Geoghan’s actions and yet chose to send him to other parishes where he would still be in an environment with minors.2 In other parishes around and outside the United States, similar scenarios were, and had been, occurring for years: priests using their positions in order to engage in sexual acts with minors.3 When survivors began to speak up, they and their families were often offered “hush money” in order to prevent a scandal.4 Although the sexual abuse crisis came to the forefront in 2002 due to the investigative journalist team at the Boston Globe, reports of the sexual abuse of children by members of the clergy had been * Adjunct Professor, University of Denver Sturm School of Law.

From the Executive Director's Desk Several decades ago, I served as Executive Director of a domestic violence prevention agency and shelter offering women services intended to support them as they worked to end the abuse they suffered in their relationships. Women came into the shelter with one, two, three, or more children in tow. Women came into the shelter with bruises, both physical and emotional. Women came into the shelter crippled by a deep sense of shame. They had internalized messages from their abuser, family, friends, pastors, and society and they blamed themselves for their abuse and neglect. When they entered the doorway of the shelter, they became part of our lives and we became a part of theirs, if only for a short while. We sought to support them, shield them, defend them, offer them choices that would empower them, but most of all, we sought to honor them by letting them know in practical ways how deeply they were cherished, respected, and admired. In turn, their courage inspired us and taught us what it means to live and love with purpose in the midst of a war zone. Today, many women are braving the patronizing, demeaning, and destructive taunts of others as they declare their resistance to abuses they have experienced at the hands of too many men in power.

  • Conference Speakers Church Leaders, Blaine Naively Assumed That They Would Ensure That the Perpetrator Would Be Removed and They Would Help Her to Find Healing
    Barbara Blaine Barbara Blaine is the founder and president of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests. Having reported her abuse in 1985 to Conference Speakers church leaders, Blaine naively assumed that they would ensure that the perpetrator would be removed and they would help her to find healing. After a couple of years, she realized that the church leaders wouldn’t help and she still needed healing. She decided to find other survivors in the hope that they would help each other to cope with the effects of the abuse as well as to work together to keep others safe. Since its founding in 1988, SNAP has grown to over 9,000 members in all 50 states and other countries too. Blaine holds Jeff Anderson MSW, Mdiv and JD degrees.

  • Catholic Dioceses in Bankruptcy
    REILLY (DO NOT DELETE) 6/3/2019 5:02 PM Catholic Dioceses in Bankruptcy Marie T. Reilly† The Catholic Church is coping with mass tort liability for sexual abuse of children by priests. As of September 2018, eighteen Catholic organizations have filed for relief in bankruptcy. Fifteen debtors have emerged from bankruptcy after settling with sexual abuse claimants and insurers. During settlement negotiations, sexual abuse claimants and debtors clashed over the extent of the debtors’ property and ability to pay claims. Although such disputes are common in Chapter 11 plan negotiations, the Catholic cases required the parties and bankruptcy courts to account for the unique religious attributes of Catholic diocesan debtors. This Article reviews the arguments and outcomes on these issues based on reported decisions, pleadings, plans, and disclosure statements. It explains the key characteristics of Catholic dioceses under canon and secular organization law and the bankruptcy contexts in which these characteristics became hot-button issues. It offers an analysis of the legacy of the Catholic cases for bankruptcy law, religious liberty, and for the relationships among entities within a Catholic diocese. I.

  • Women Face Stigma of Clergy Abuse
    The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests Female Victims Female Victims of Clergy Abuse Recent stories of interest BACK TO: Female victims story list Women face stigma of clergy abuse By Sacha Pfeiffer, Boston Globe, 12/27/2002 Jean Leahy kept her secret for 40 years: that she had had to fend off the Rev. Robert V. Meffan's repeated sexual advances - the hand on the thigh, the hug that lasted too long, the invitations to his bedroom - when she was a teenager studying at Sacred Heart Convent in Kingston. Why tell anyone, she reasoned, when few people would believe the word of a woman over the word of a beloved priest? But when Meffan's personnel file became public Dec. 3, and he acknowledged having sexual activity with teenage girls who, like her, were preparing to be nuns, Leahy decided there was no need for secrecy any more. ''If I came out with this story last January, people would have said, `Sure, whatever,''' said Leahy, 55, who is no longer a nun. ''I don't think the general public was ready to hear about girls and women being abused. I don't think they could handle that. They had enough to handle with realizing what was going on with the boys. So I just went on with my life.'' Leahy's reluctance to go public is far from rare. In a yearlong cascade of disclosures about sexually abusive priests, the public face of victims has been largely male. This raises a puzzling question: When females are believed to account for a sizable percentage of those victimized by priests, why have comparatively few women come forward? More than 90 percent of the clergy sex abuse cases referred to prosecutors in five counties in Eastern Massachusetts involve male victims.

This is an ethico-political problem because it has to do with the construction of the future: that is, the duty to remember consists not only in having a deep concern for the past, but in transmitting the meaning of past events to the next generation. The duty, therefore, is one which concerns the future; it is an imperative directed towards the future, which is exactly the opposite side of the traumatic character of the humiliations and wounds of history. It is a duty, thus to tell… In preserving the relation of the present to the past, we become heirs of the past.

    Clerical sexual predators: impact and aftermath • Emilio C. Viano Riassunto Lo scandalo degli abusi commessi da appartenenti al clero nell’ambito della Chiesa Cattolica ha avuto una grande risonanza nell’opinione pubblica, determinando importanti conseguenze per quanto concerne la tutela dei minorenni. Tale problema non è circoscritto alla Chiesa Cattolica. Anche appartenenti al clero, suore e altro personale religioso, cristiano oppure appartenente ad altre confessioni, sono stati accusati e, talvolta condannati, per abusi fisici, psicologici e sessuali sui bambini. Inoltre, una parte rilevante di tali atti sono stati perpetrati sia da altri minorenni che da parte di personale laico, volontari, insegnanti ed ausiliari che lavorano sotto l’egida di organizzazioni religiose. Tale scandalo non riguarda solo gli Stati Uniti. Tuttavia, la trasparenza della società americana, il potere dei mass media ed una solida tradizione di giornalismo investigativo hanno fatto emergere tale problema e l’hanno reso maggiormente visibile rispetto a quanto avviene in altri paesi. E’ certo che tale vicenda continua ad avere grande risonanza nei mass media negli Stati Uniti, in Europa e in altre parti del mondo. Ciò ha sollevato dibattiti, discussioni e riflessioni in diversi ambiti relativamente alle tematiche dello sfruttamento dei minori, producendo effetti complessi, sia positivi che negativi. Résumé Le scandale des abus du clergé dans l'Église Catholique a eu une grande résonance dans l'opinion publique et des conséquences importantes pour ce qui concerne la protéction des enfants. Ce problème n'est pas circonscrit à l'Église Catholique. Clergé, religieuses et autre personnel religieux, chrétien ou appartenant à d'autres confessions, ont été accusés, et parfois condamnés, pour d'abus physiques, psychologiques et sexuels sur enfants.
