NY Priest "Apologizes" for Saying Children are Often the "Seducer"

14. Because once again, the blame is being deflected on to the victims.

Groeschel also had a stroke, which you forgot to mention. BUT...this kind of crap is exactly what the RCC has been doing in this scandal for YEARS, and a lot of us are sick of it. Especially those of us who have known and worked with survivors of priest abuse through Voice of the Faithful and other organizations, like SNAP.

His intent was all too clear because we've heard it all before. It's one of the many institutional responses the hierarchy has for this, rather than accepting the blame for the abuse and doing something constructive to stop it.

(Groeschel, by the way, is also a star on the EWTN network, which would gladly take both the Church and the world back to the Dark Ages. Check THAT out when you get a chance.)
