“It’s been a very big loss. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about Eduardo,” Barbara Boehland said.
Boehland’s son, Eduardo Ramon, committed suicide back in 1997. She says he did it because of sexual abuse by a priest.
‘I remember falling to my knees and crying because it didn’t happen at my house. It happened at my grandparents’ house where he hung himself,” Boehland said.
Boehland says the Catholic Church needs to be held accountable. She’s part of a nationwide group that supports survivors of religous sexual abuse.
The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) petitioned the International Criminal Court to investigate its 84-page legal complaint that the pope and several cardinals knowingly condoned sexual abuse and did very little, if anything, to stop it.
