    • "I'm grateful that you are so outspoken in talking to the Church. We need to really hear, and respond to the tragedy of sexual abuse by the clergy. As a former Roman Catholic priest, and now a priest of the Episcopal Church, I'm shocked at my own hardness of heart and the slow awareness of the tragedy of abuse, let alone by the clergy. It's a kind of spiritual murder. Thanks for your clear understanding, and peace! In Christ." — Raymond Maloney
