ABUSE

The first of four listening sessions since the release of the Pennsylvania grand jury report on clergy sexual abuse was held at Paul Cathedral in Oakland on Thursday night. There was not a dry eye in the place as Bishop David Zubik listened along with others while stories were recounted about the horror of abuse at the hands of a priest. Organizers in the Pittsburgh Catholic Diocese are hoping to create a safe space so Survivors and parishioners can work through the healing process together.
