Semper Catholic Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 So one single FBI agent says that 50% of the claims are made up and we immediately say "I TOLD YOU SO!" Of course that goes without saying that that means 50% of the claims are in fact true and that is still a staggering amount. I love how the story uses completely unrelated quotes about "personal injury lawyers" made 6 years ago to pin these allegations on overzealous attorneys. That's why this story is stuck on "Newsbusters" and not on the Nightly News. Because it's unmitigated C-R-A-P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 One of the things that my old archdiocese did to settle claims, is that they set up free counseling for anyone who had been abused by a member of the church. Very few people took advantage of the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were going to pay for independent therapists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
