Will they ever learn?
Re “Behind a Priest’s Suicide,”
Column One, Aug. 6
It seems the Jesuits still haven’t learned their lesson when it comes to clerical sex abuse.
Not content to let deviates in their order abuse laypersons such as a mentally disabled dishwasher, they permitted one of their own, Father James Chevedden, who was recuperating from burnout after serving the order faithfully for decades, to be molested by placing him in the care of the same fellow Jesuit who had been convicted of abusing the dishwasher. No wonder vocations are down.
