Binghamton, NY (WBNG Binghamton) Sexual abuse allegations against Catholic priests and bishops have been making headlines for decades. A former priest speaks out against child abuse in Catholic churches at a church in Binghamton.
Father Thomas Doyle was invited to St. Francis of Assisi Church in Binghamton to speak about the “unfinished business” of clergy sex abuse in the Catholic church.
Doyle was a priest in the Dominican Order for 49 years. He is no longer allowed to be an active priest in the institutionalized Catholic Church. Doyle believes it’s because he’s been standing with sexual abuse victims of the church for the past 30 years.
“I’ve spoken out too loudly and too often for the comfort level for the leadership of the Catholic church,” Doyle said.
Doyle was invited by Fr. Tim Taugher, St. Francis of Assisi Church pastor and a leader of Upstate NY Call to Action.
