What was the priest's name? What was the Where did the alleged abuse occur? Why does this sound suspiciously like a victim scam? Another article (http://www.boldnewlook.com/john.html) stated that the alleged pedophile priest was long dead, but the Church was willing to pay for therapy anyway. God forgive me if I'm wrong, but something doesn't add up with John Wojnowski's story. He "suddenly" remembers being abused five years after it allegedly occurred?

Where did the alleged abuse occur?

Homosexuality, yes even represssed, does not lead to pedophilia. What does is hard to say, but just assuming that is stupid. ummm so you´re dumb....

It's a shame that President Bush hasn't followed the man boy scandal in the Roman Caholic Church. I'm sure he would'nt have rolled out the red carpet for a person[Pope] who has known through the history of the RCC that this has been going on since Paul died in the mid first century. Homosexual it is and has always been. And homosexual it will stay until the gospel of Christ is followed in the RCC. Homsexuality is at the root of this & has been tauted by the priests as being unkind to God's homosexual children who were born that way if they are not accepted in the church and society. Nonsence. President Bush is naieve in his thinking that the Pope is going to give words of wisdom to any thinking adult[UN] who knows Christ & His Words. We, the Christian people of the world, raise up the Word of Christ & Christ Himself, not a man who ignores the sacrifice of Christ on the Cross. Thank you City Desk for writing John's story.

We live in hope that through the efforts of many survivors of clergy abuse, and of their supporters, that the hierarchy will one day recognize what they have done and express true contrition.
