The Archdiocese of Hartford held the first of three Masses of Reparation Sunday in Manchester for the victims of the priest sexual abuse scandal, but it’s not only the victims who are suffering.
Catholics attending Mass in Torrington and Waterbury said the release of the list of credibly accused priests was painful, especially for those who knew those named.
“I knew a lot of the men on that list and I think what needs to be remembered is a lot of them aren’t around anymore to answer for it. You can’t buy into it,” said Shawn Pace of Waterbury.
”The men I did see and are gone were great men,” he said. “Your faith in God is your faith in God and Catholics need to stick with that faith.”
