Christmas Time

It is Christmas time, a time when we think about the birth of Jesus, a time when we think about Peace and Goodwill to all Men.  At this time, take a minute to think of all those who are abused by clergy in some form or another.  It is not an easy thing to endure at all but some how these victims still have to survive in this world.

Our friend is a victim of clergy abuse.  She met a clergy and became involved with him.  They were both married when they started their affair. He promised to marry her.

When the clergy's wife found out about his relationship with our friend, the wife brought charges against him and went to his Bishop.  Our friend was asked to come forward and tell the truth but she did not expose this man.

The wife filed divorce papers against this man.  It was then that he asked our friend to marry him. After a year with our friend, this man was out of his church.  While married, and while involved with our friend, he started a relationship with his secretary.  Our friend was divorcing her husband planning to marry this man.  Our friend found out a year later about the secretary. Our friend is destroyed by this completely and has lost all faith in her faith.  This is a clergy who abused our friend and then went on to his secretary.  How many women does this clergy need?

We do not know where she is or how she is so please pray for her at this time!
