“The abuse I faced as a child has stayed with me for decades as an adult, but that moment at 12:01, when my lawsuit was filed, marked the start of bringing closure for me and many other survivors,” Raul Diaz said.
Jeffrey Eskridge has spent 42 years dreaming of the moment he’d be able to strike back at the Roman Catholic priest who he says raped him repeatedly as a teenager.
Among those filing lawsuits Wednesday was one man who said that he brought his abuse allegations to the attention of Pope John Paul II, who he claims took no action at the time. Zwilling, in turn, urged a reporter to reach out to the Papal Nuncio in Washington, who did not return a call or email for comment on Grein's startling claim about Pope John Paul II.was defrocked by Pope Francis earlier this year after a canonical investigation found him guilty of “sins against the Sixth Commandment with minors and with adults.” He was also found guilty in the investigation of soliciting sex during the sacrament of confession.
“Today is a day for survivors to tell their stories and to take an important step on their long journey toward healing,” Poust said in an emailed statement. “The Bishops want to accompany survivors on this journey, to thank them for bravely coming forward, and to again apologize unconditionally for what they endured at the hands of those who so grievously abused their trust.
There is R.G., who said he was an altar boy in the 1980s when he was sexually assaulted by the principal of his Catholic school in Newburgh, New York. “This is a life-changing moment for all New Yorkers who were blocked from bringing their abusers and the institutions that shielded them to justice,” Freeman said. “The powerful institutions who fought this law will soon be held accountable.”
