Bishop Gumbleton Speaks Out Against His Brothers
At a three day national conference for victims of sexual abuse, retired Auxiliary Bishop Thomas Gumbleton spoke out harshly against his brother bishops for their failure in dealing pastorally with victims of abuse. "It's become a corporate entity," Gumbleton said of the church.
"I find it hard how any bishop could care more about money than about children," he said. "Even if we became totally poor, that's where the church started -- who cares?"
Gumbleton has already been ostracized for his prophetic and courage stance.
