NOT GOOD ENOUGH
The day he actually holds those clergy accountable... in a court of law and within the Church, then justice will have been served. Words not followed by actions are just a waste of air.
Sorry, that's the way I see it.
Put your money where your mouth is or STFU.
I couldn't agree more with you, Raven.... the churches have dodged paying for any damages in every way possible.
Unfortunately, having the priests in court doesn't seem to matter much, either. I have two personal friends who have taken the RC church to court and won multi-million dollar settlements..... and have yet to see a penny. They have not even received therapeutic help.... and they are not native - just people who got abused by priests that they trusted in their childhood. The one friend was a leader in the class action suit that landed Father Chester in jail in Kingston, Ontario - where he recently died. So, while the courts have made him pay his debt to society, the RC church has yet to pay her or any of the other victims a penny - for their responsibility in the whole fiasco. They have "downloaded" the cost to the local diocese - who has claimed bankruptcy..... sounds like our provincial politics, now doesn't it?
