Mendacity

There is new information from the Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago.  A court ordered mediation has been underway between the Church and victims of sexual abuse at the hands of priests.  The mediation has been going on for almost a decade.  Church documents have just been released supporting the victims allegations.  This is just one sordid chapter in what is now apparent - until the churches' victims of the last quarter have come forward sexual abuse was condoned and managed by church leadership rather than condemned.  As I read today's news the scene from a movie played in my memory.  It illustrates the ravages of a dishonest life.  Watch it yourself.
