With over 200 sexual abuses lawsuits going through the court system and the subsequent chapter 11 reorganization of the finances of Archdiocese, one could conclude that officials at the
Chancery would be doing their out most to follow up on any allegations of sexual abuse.
After the dismal administration of Apuron and his minions, and the replacement of Deacon Martinez by Deacon Charos, aka Deacon for sure for sure, following his catastrophic cover up against
Apuron by the late John Toves; the faithful were elated by the new
approach of our then newly appointed Archbishop: Michal Jude Byrnes.
Archbishop Byrnes while facing a mountain of issues, left by his inept and corrupted predecessor,
seemed to take the bull by the horns.
He did put in place a set of procedures for the Church to identify and recognize victims.
He initiated a third way for victims that did not want to sue.
He put in place a reporting system for any abuse that may arise in the future.
He also made it mandatory for all personnel inside the Church and in the Schools affiliated with the Church to go through a sensitivity training, as well as a background check.
Actually one can easily follow this comprehensive program on the Archdiocese website.
So far Archbishop Byrnes has talked the talk, and started addressing a long litany of soar issues.
