Statement from Jim Post, President,
Voice of the Faithful Regarding
the Suffolk County Grand Jury Report

The Suffolk County grand jury report makes clear that members of the hierarchy of the Diocese of Rockville Centre embraced a policy of concealing allegations of sexual abuse by priests. In so doing, they failed to administer pastoral care to victims and their families.

As these damaging files continue to emerge, a plausible solution to the Catholic Church's flawed system of dealing with sexual abusers remains evident: The laity must become actively involved with the financial and personnel administration of their parishes and dioceses. We also urge the bishop of every diocese to publicly release all applicable documents associated with allegations of sexual abuse by clergy and other personnel.
