People aren't guilty until proven guilty in a court of law. Bishops could remove those unfit. But to castigate an entire order of nuns for something that may or may not have been done by a small minority is not right either. Some of those nuns led lives of sacrifice for children, and to paint them all with the same brush is calumny which I cannot participate in. Even if I have some gut reactions, I can't go runnning off at the mouth and bash people I don't really know one way or the other if they are really guilty.

I fear we won't know the whole truth until Judgement Day, and we all won't necessarily be privy to that.

In the meantime, I and I hope others on this forum will pray for you and your family and hope you find peace. Gilbert is a little saint no matter how you cut it.

I just hope you are able to find peace without destroying innocent people in the process.

I cannot take sides because I am at a loss to properly evaluate the facts that have been presented, and think you are fighting a losing battle. If anyone really thought your case had substance they would have smelled blood in the water and come forward to offer their services.

It's too bad you can't find a way to let it go. Maybe you could talk to a deacon down in Texas and he would treat you with compassion and try to find you appropriate help. I really can't help but to wonder how you would be treated by him if you went to him asking for help with this problem.

Nobody is going to go out on a limb for you, mainly because they can't without possibly joining in false accusations. We simply cannot know for sure. Even if I sat on a jury, I would have a hard time with what you have presented. It could be interpreted a lot of different ways.

Fighting on the internet and accusing people by name isn't my thing. I just wanted you to know that I care about what happened to you, your family, and your little brother.

If it is true what you allege, I hope justice prevails in this world and the next.
