John if you get a chance can you do a copy and paste, as unless anyone is a member the article is not generally available.
Denial does occour. However, for those who are aware of the dynamics of how abuse works and occurs there is no denial but understanting. Not the same understanding as one who has expereinced this but the understanding that comes from listening and a knowledge that abuse occurs in many places in our society.
Welcome to the forum.

Christ spoke of a "Millstone" rather than Sainthood.
The primary problem is continued denial and no one want to believe. In the middle of my investigation the priest was promoted and transfered out of State. In reality there was no real investigation similar to L of C. This is not new because the process began in the 70's and some will think "Why NOW"? Why did it take so long.... Denial. Don't be afraid, John. You are not alone. Some of us know well how long it takes for our early experiences to surface in negative emotional and psychological reactions and responses. You are fine. Just relax. Eli
