Description: Adults get abused, too
Article originally prepared on : 02 September 2007

Some of us who have been doing the work of writing onthe topic of sexual abuse by clergy for many years have a strongtendency, based on anecdotal reports, to believe that the greatestnumber of Catholic victims are not children, but adult women who arespiritually and emotionally dependent. This is certainly true inProtestant circles.
Clergy abuse is an act of professionalmalpractice, no matter what the age of the victim. Moyer is one of myfavorite journalists. I'd challenge him to consider expanding hisinvestigation and definition of clergy sexual abuse.
