The Worthy Adversary
Posted by Joelle Casteix on November 24, 2015
Earlier today, attorneys for sex abuse victims by priests and monks at a prestigious Benedictine high school, university, and abbey released hundreds of pages of documents that show a decades-long cover-up of the sexual abuse of children and university students.
It’s important to note that many of the credibly accused priests still live on the St. John’s Abbey campus, where the college and boarding schools are (including a priest who admitted to having abusing more than 200 sexual partners).
The boarding school enrolls children as young as the sixth grade. The Benedictine Order, who owns the campus, claims that the men are under strict safety plans and have no contact with students. I say that’s bunk. Check out the interactive map.
These men are adults and are not handcuffed to their chairs. They have had “safety plans” in the past that were totally ineffective. These predators can go where they want, when they want … even into the 9th grade dorm.
