To Better Protect God’S People
To better protect God’s people When future historians write their histories of U.S. Catholicism, some may give Gilbert Gauthe a paragraph all to himself. Not for anything honorable that he did, but for something supremely dishonorable: He, as much as anyone, transformed sexual abuse of a minor by a Catholic priest from a personal disgrace into a national scandal. The story of this scandal is disturbing and complex. Even as the number of new cases has apparently dropped, bishops have found themselves struggling to cope with the consequences of earlier offenses that were covered up. Now even Pope Francis stands accused of not responding quickly enough, and Germany and Chile have joined the ranks of countries where the Church has abuse scandals on its hands. What follows is an overview of the history of this scandal in the United States, for the benefit of people trying to make sense of it all. It’s a perspective the bishops themselves will need as they gather in Baltimore the second full week of November for their fall general meeting. This issue is expected to dominate the agenda. Pope St. John Paul II speaks with Cardinal Bernard Law in 2002 in the pope’s private library at the Vatican. Cardinal Law had been one of the United States’ most powerful and respected bishops until his legacy was blemished by the devastating sexual abuse of minors by priests in his Archdiocese of Boston.

Although by no means the first abuser priest, he was the first to receive national attention as the specifics of his misdeeds and the bungling of his superiors became known. -

Pastoral Associate The above image evokes within us a sense of urgency in our response to suffering. In a sense Garth Horn we are to be like medics on the frontlines searching for the fallen and tending to their wounds.

A Servant of God, the Church and Homeland. on the Tenth Death Anniversary of Archbishop Marian Oleś 1934-2005
ARCHIWA, BIBLIOTEKI I MUZEA KOŚCIELNE 105 (2015) KS. WALDEMAR W. ŻUREK SDB – LUBLIN A SERVANT OF GOD, THE CHURCH AND HOMELAND. ON THE TENTH DEATH ANNIVERSARY OF ARCHBISHOP MARIAN OLEŚ 1934-2005 On 24 May 2005 Archbishop Marian Oleś died suddenly in Warsaw at the age of 70 with 44 years of priesthood and 18 years of the Episcopal ministry in the service of the Holy Father and the Holy See. His mortal remains were buried in the Polish Necropolis-at Powązki Cemetery in Warsaw. *** As a Pole by birth, he lived in his homeland only fi ve years. He was born on 8 December 1934 on the feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Cendrowizna, in the parish of Miastkowo in the Diocese of Łomża. He was the son of Jan (aged 33) and Franciszka (aged 32) from Tyszków. His father was a forester of the state forests in Cendrowizna. On 20 December the same year, he was baptized in the parish church of Our Lady of the Rosary in Miastkowo by the then curate of the parish Rev. Franciszek Łuba. His godparents were: Stefan Klimaszewski and Irena Woźniak1. On 11 February 1940, he was, along with his family, deported to Arkhangelsk. It was the moment when he, as a fi ve-year child, began his life in exile. Returning 1 The parish of Miastkowo was erected in 1451 by the Bishop of Płock Paweł Giżycki from the foundation of Boleslaw II of Masovia. The present parish church dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary is historically the third parish church, consecrated on 27 October 2013 by the Bishop of Łomża Janusz Stępnowski.
