Letter to the editor: Article spotlighted continued problem with church

Thanks to The News-Messenger for an outstanding story about how Toledo Bishop Daniel Thomas and his top staff continue to shun victims and deceive parishioners. (“Area man says bishop won’t hear his abuse allegations,” November 17)

There’s no clearer sign that Catholic bishops haven’t changed than this: An alleged victim of a known predator priest fights unsuccessfully for two years just to sit in a room with a single Catholic official.

My heart aches for Riley Kinn and other Toledo area victims and Catholics who continue to be betrayed. And my blood boils at Thomas, Victim Assistance Coordinator Frank DiLallo and other church officials who refuse to act with compassion and honesty.
