They love the Catholic Church. But they also ache for victims hurt by it. Mother Veronica Sweeney and Sister Angela Ferry, diocesan nuns of the
Roman Catholic Diocese of Knoxville, have opened up their cloistered
lives to reach victims of sexual abuse and the victims' families through
the Internet and e-mail.
"People say it's a gay issue. It's not," Ferry said. "Gay men molesting boys, heterosexual men abusing girls, nuns abusing children: They're all abusing the vulnerable." "Abuse continues when people do not listen to you," Sweeney said.
