La morte di 40 giovani per abusi sessuali nelle loro chiese
The Roman Burden
It was embarrassing to observe Australian society trying to avert its
gaze from the deaths of more than 40 young men. These men are
purportedly suicide victims whose deaths appear to be consequent to
sexual abuse in their churches. As the faces of the deceased stared out
at me from reports in The Age, I felt that this loss of young life could surely not go unexamined in any civilised society.
I blogged on this matter
last year based on some personal testimony I had heard about the
suicide of a young victim relative of an abusing priest. Now my
anecdotal evidence appears to have found support in police
investigations. This is an epidemic of self-slaughter that cannot be
ignored.
Yet without constant advocacy and evidence from affected Catholic
parents, police and some innocent clergy, the dead and their stories
would have gone unexamined. Now the growing forensic evidence of a link
between Catholic child abuse and the apparent suicides of victims raises
issues of church and state that could no longer be ignored.
