It looks like you took a page right from my friends life. I am glad to see it is in the open for you and that you are trying to cope with this horrible tragedy. I think that too many people are too ashamed to bring it out in the open. One reason could be that it happened so long ago and that we might be afraid of our loved ones finding out. I just wonder how many cases have gone unreported.Kay Ebelinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13753284586265566961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836118405443700923.post-14215303246506170792010-02-13T05:18:12.694-08:002010-02-13T05:18:12.694-08:00Maybe some accused priests are not guilty.

Too bad the Church usually settles pre trial almost every time, leaving us all to wonder where the real guilt is. Thanks for your comment, taken to heart.Kay Ebelinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13753284586265566961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836118405443700923.post-21271193139436340122010-02-12T22:25:49.308-08:002010-02-12T22:25:49.308-08:00Mr Cichanowicz resigned from the clinic shortly af...Mr Cichanowicz resigned from the clinic shortly after the accusation. He was not forced to resigned but did so out of respect for the clinic name and his fellow counselors. During his years as a substance abuse counselor at the clinic he helped many people overcome their addiction. Many people have already convicted him. (Whatever happen to Innocent till proven guilty?) As a victim of sexual abuse by a priest myself(not by Mr Cichanowicz) I have learned from the Gospel the meaning of forgiveness. If Mr Cichanowicz was guilty 20 so years ago, then forgiveness is in order and maybe Mr Cichanowicz has changed his life. If he or others continue their abusive behavior, then something needs to be done to stop them. For me to go after my predator of 35 years would only be greed. Mr Cichanowicz is no longer working because of all this, so I do not think you will find much of a story in him. For me, a good addictions counselor is no longer able to help people who need him the most and I have lost a good co-worker and friend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
