Last week, victims of clergy sexual abuse in Orange County got what they’d been asking for. Bishop Tod Brown apologized, and agreed to pay them $100 million. But the victims insisted that the Church release its private personnel files — the same kind of documents which in the case of Boston’s sex abuse scandal — revealed an institution so intent on covering up crime that it protected the perpetrators even while they chose new victims.
Guests:
Patrick Wall, former Catholic priest now working as an advocate to victims in the Orange County case and co-author of the upcoming book “Priests, Sex and Secret Codes”
