Who wouldn't be distressed and upset by the admittedly shocking accounts of cruelty and abuse that rocked Ireland and Irish Catholics everywhere last year with the publication of the Murphy Report? Four bishops resigned and the storm isn't over yet. Meanwhile new reports have surfaced in Germany and elsewhere. What happened? What went wrong?
Join us for dinner followed by a candid talk on the roots of the abuse crisis in the United States, Ireland and elsewhere, from a perspective that neither lets the Church off the hook too easily nor condemns it as a hopelessly corrupt institution, but seeks to honestly answer the questions "Why?" and "How?"
