see letter from Irish victim of clergy abuse who 'protested' outside the eucharistic congress. THIS is the end result of the Church Hiararchy's total inability to dialogue with victims. The Church has divided victims into the 'good' ones (they don't publically protest and can be relied on not to talk to media) and the 'bad' ones. The 'bad' ones challange for truth, accountability, responsibility...JUSTICE. The Catholic Community now attacks these alleged 'bad' ones as it offends their sense of utter loyalty. loyalty rather than transparancy or justice is what is key 'Catholic' behaviour. the outcomes for the church of this continuing is dire. the outcome for victims is even more violence and abuse. letters please to Irish Times.

catholic church england and wales offensive leaflet
please note that the Catholic Church in England and wales does NOT mention CLERGY sexual abuse. This is a GENERAL leaflet for those abused by ANYONE in the Church and ALL forms of abuse. It is NOT specific to clergy sexual abuse victims. There is no budget for this, volunteers will be used and victims signposted to other service providers. This is why MACSAS resigned from the planning committee last year. Note we are NOT mentioned as a support group despite being the ONLY clergy & minister abuse support group in the UK. furthermore, 'hurt' is hardly the word for gross violation with subsequent devastation to life.
i can't seem to put the second side on here.

we do not believe survivors are being consulted at all! if they are, they are the ones in cahoots with the hierarchy and do not represent the vast majority of victims. we want to know who these survivors are.

i won't be visiting it.
it doesn't represent ANYTHING. it's not 'healing' anyone, nor is it a sign of repentance. it angers me profusly . so many suffering survivors and they think a stone makes a difference!

these continued 'apoligies' are becoming abusive and manipulative. they exploit survivors. it is a media 'show' , nothing to do with survivors healing or pain. survivors are getting very angry about them

'Healing stone' to child abuse survivors unveiled - The Irish Times - Mon, Jun 11, 2012
not entirely sure why / how a STONE symbolises healing? There are references to stones in the bible. The most relevant one is the millstone put around the neck of anyone who harms children. Even "the stones cry out", a reference to despair and of course Luke 11:11 'What father among you, if a son asks for bread would give a stone".
For me the alleged healing stone is the STONE given by the father rather than bread!
