"THE EDUCATOR" - Tim Caroline

[Joe80751]

When I was 10 years old I became a mass server and the priest sodomized me about twice a week for the next 3 years. For the next 37 years I never breathed a word to anyone what that man of God did. 16 years ago I told the Catholic hierarchy my story. I thought they would really care. They did not. I was quickly labeled a malcontent and a church bashing trouble maker. Today the thing I grieve most is the fact that I believe that severe abuse by a trusted clergy is "soul murder".

Dear Joe,

I've noticed that there are no comments to your account of abuse. People really don't know how to. I feel so awful about what happened to you and so many others. I hope and pray that you are receiving help and that you will begin to heal in time.
