NH Bishop's Role Revelatory for How Abuse Scandal Became a Crisis
In the Manchester Union Leader there is an article depicting current NH bishop John McCormack's role in the abuse of children in Boston. While this is not new news, it's important to understand what happened that allowed so many innocent children to become victims of child sexual predators. McCormack dismissed or ignored complaints for years. As a bishop, he transferred offenders from one place to another, never informing law enforcement of the crimes. Now, instead of a scandal that might fade away with time, the church is facing a crisis of confidence in its leadership that won't go away with the likes of McCormack still in charge.
