Description

In September 2005, a Philadelphia grand jury concluded the longest probe of sexually abusive priests ever undertaken by a grand jury or district attorney. During the course of three years, the jurors documented abuse by over sixty priests, involving hundreds of minors, with continuous cover-ups by the Philly Archdiocese. The resulting 423-page report, with another 309 pages of appendices, is an amazing document both for the way it refuses to shy away from detailed descriptions of the priests’ crimes and for the barely contained anger and disgust that its authors obviously felt after years of examining secret documents and interviewing victims, perpetrators, and others.
When reading the excerpts below, keep in mind that it was written, not by people who view organized religion with suspicion, but by a group of ordinary citizens, including some Catholics, plucked from the jury pool—the very salt of the earth. From the Disinformation book EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT GOD IS WRONG:
