Consider this a Kansas City test of faith or at least a contest for much bigger stakes than the corporate games the media is obsessed with right now . . .

Missouri Man Alleging Sexual Abuse By Priest Seeks $10 Million From Diocese
Deets:
"It has been 30 years, but Kansas City's Catholic diocese still should pay a heavy price for allowing a now-dead priest to repeatedly sexually abuse a former altar boy, a lawyer for the alleged victim said in court Monday, kicking off a $10 million lawsuit against the diocese.
"Jon David Couzens, then age 10, said he was molested 20 times over two years in the early 1980s by Monsignor Thomas O'Brien, who died in 2013. Couzens was deeply involved in Catholic school and church activities.
"The alleged abuse included an encounter in which O'Brien forced Couzens and other altar boys to perform sex acts on each other and on the priest, according to Couzens' attorney, Rebecca Randles.
"The lawsuit alleges that the Catholic Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph intentionally failed to supervise O'Brien despite years of complaints and allegations by teachers and parents about the priest. Randles asked the jury Monday to order the diocese to pay $10 million in compensatory damages along with punitive damages.
In fairness, the reason people don't get excited about this kind of real world battle is because there are no winners and everybody leaves the contest weaker.

ReplyDeleteA $10,000,000 payday sounds like a pretty good win.
Only a fool would think that money "heals"
ReplyDeleteIt may not heal but it sure makes being wounded alot more fun.
