Excellent article. Thanks, Paul. Those poor sisters.

This is such a systemic problem. My child was bullied at her Catholic middle school and the lack of accountability, the abysmal leadership - we begged the principal, the priest,, the diocesan superintendent - no one stepped in and took responsibility for keeping my child safe. - was very traumatic for us. What could we do? We had to leave the school and later the parish, and help rebuild our daughter and our social community. But that toxic environment remains.

God bless the sisters for rebuilding something beautiful out of their experiences and sufferings and injustices- I pray their new community will bring much healing to them and others. But Lord, I pray justice will be done in our Church! So. Many. Victims.
