In a recent post on David Yonke's blog, located at www.davidyonke.com; Fr. Stephen Stanberry speaks about how the Toledo Diocese conducts itself in a crisis: by denying the crisis. His posts can be read here and here.
Fr. Stanberry asks the kind of questions that need to be asked in order to shed light needed to cleanse and disinfect. After doing so, he declares himself a voice in the wilderness. How unfortunate that what would be sensible policy in any other place of employment, is so rare in the Church that those who speak of it feel as though they are a voice in the wilderness.
Imagine if someone in a position of authority in any other place of business were caught horsing around with someone in a vulnerable position while on the job. Should they never have to answer for such conduct?

Hi -
Perhaps you could give an update on how the court cases are going?
Thanks.
Sorry that there haven't been more updates on this. I wish that there were something newsworthy to post about, but certain aspects of this are in limbo at this point.
There has been a failure to comply with deadlines for summary judgement and discovery in order for us to move forward. This process is being held up and will need to be prodded along.
