Brothers,
Below is message from Fr. Larry Dowling, a priest of the archdiocese of
Chicago and head of the deanery to which Old St. Mary’s belongs. Larry
is an experienced and well-respected priest here, and I think his open
letter to the U.S. bishops is a testament to his courage and love for
the Church.
I encourage all to read it, and sign on if you feel so inclined.
Peace,
Steve

Dear Members of the Priesthood of All Believers (All Baptized Catholics), and others deeply affected by recent events in the Church:
In light of recent revelations of past sexual abuse by priests and bishops and cover-ups by some bishops in Pennsylvania, and the revelations about Cardinal McCarrick, you are invited to sign on to an Open Letter to the USCCB to be given them in early November before their annual meeting.
It is important that the bishops understand the magnitude of the pain and hurt this has caused victims of priests and bishops and their families, other victims of sexual abuse by a trusted adult who continue to be subject to the abuse of memory, the Catholic laity and the priests and deacons who everyday minister to and with the People of God.
