A courageous, compassionate and persistent clergy sex abuse victim who helped warn parents and the public about a serial child molesting Catholic cleric is being honored this weekend. He richly deserves it.

He is Arthur Budzinski, a deaf man who helped expose Fr. Lawrence Murphy, a now-deceased predator priest who assaulted dozens and dozens of children for decades.

Arthur is, plainly and simply, an absolute hero. Long before almost anyone publicly discussed clergy sexual abuse and cover ups, Arthur was leafleting to alert families about a dangerous priest. We are overjoyed at the recognition he's receiving and hope that his bravery will inspire others who are in pain to break their silence, get help, expose predators and start healing.
