A French priest was indicted for raping and torturing multiple women at a private religious school. We are saddened by this revelation, but glad victims are speaking up and action is being taken.

The priest, who is part of the fundamentalist society of St. Pius X, had been tried in a religious hearing and sentenced to two year in a monastery for his sexual attacks several years ago. We are disappointed that it has taken several years for this dangerous predator to be indicted.

We hope that anyone who saw, suspects or suffered abuse will call police and that Catholic officials will be proactive and aggressively seek out victims and witnesses.
