Thank you for the work you do. My guess is that some consultant has helped the USCCB develop this script for handling allegations. Its intention is to minimize diocesan financial and legal risk, rather than to seek justice. This is clericalism at work. This crisis will never be over until our Bishops seek true justice. Coddling accused priests at these vacation clubs is unjust. It would be interesting if you could find the documents that our Bishops are using to guide their approach.
I've written a couple things on the reporting process for sexual abuse to dioceses, if that would be of any help to anyone reading this.
I've been through the process twice, once as the victim and once as a witness. Yes, it's emotionally difficult, but it's so, SO important to leave as much of a paper trail for this sort of thing as possible.
Why don’t you escalate your concerns to Neary’s metropolitan Archbishop, Most. Rev. Bernard Hebda of Minneapolis/St. Paul. I can virtually guarantee you a response from Abp. Hebda, a WYSIWYG Pittsburger. 🙏 Good luck
