Richard Sipe at Cathedral of St John the Baptist - 1998
 
 
This website is the result of years of research and provides an opportunity for serious discussion of problems highlighted by the sexual abuse and betrayal of  minors at the hands of trusted clergy. 
This website contains a tremondous amount of information, commentary and an invitation to dialogue about human sexuality and the Roman Catholic Church. It remains a valuable resource for many. Truth alone will honor what I've been or done.

Maureen Turlish

MAUREEN TURLISH  (1939-2018) was a member of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. She was one of the most consistent, rational and long term advocates for victims of clergy abuse and a devout Christian critic of the Catholic Church. I was honored to add her voice to our Webpage. Her Voice lives on and will continue to be heard.     Obituary
