Gateway Church’s Robert Morris sex abuse allegations should spur revival laws in Texas. We agree 100%, Kathryn ! @kathrynrobb1 Enough Abuse Children's Justice Campaign Christa Brown Amy Smith Dee Parsons SOSCSA.org dallasnews.com/opinion/commen…

Teach your church that any form of abuse is NEVER acceptable to God no matter who does it or how important the abuser is. Call your people to holiness in all the corners of their lives.

Contrary to popular belief, children are not resilient, a word which simply means they can return to their original state. They do not “bounce back” from abuse.

1/3 - This quote highlights the profound effects of spiritual abuse on individuals. Survivors often face: — Emotional and Psychological Trauma — Loss of Faith — Identity Confusion — Trust Issues

When lay people work together to reject a priest's ministry, they can make a difference. His ministry should be rejected anywhere they attempt to reassign him.

Bob Schucht's programs are not theologically sound & are causing damage to an untold number of vulnerable people. If JPII Healing Center has any concern at all for the damage they've caused, they will stop operating & reflect. @bishopboyea ban these programs from your diocese now.

If you have to go to residential treatment, you should request laicization. The priesthood isn't for people w/ these types of issues. Go get a normal job, live a life not in authority over vulnerable people.

The test of the prophet is not found in the prophet’s words. It is found in the prophet’s life. A superb and brilliant preacher, theologically orthodox, who bullies, is rude, dismissive is leaking fruit. Jesus says to beware of such people.

Starting with more simple forms of touch to "build rapport" is the definition of grooming. Touch means much more amongst celibate individuals. This is gross, physically inappropriate behavior that demands disciplinary action. Fr. Martin should not have access to children.

Intent has no importance when it comes to safety/conduct policies. Either a policy was violated or it was not.

The MI AG Diocese of Lansing report is out & we've heard nothing but impression management from the DOL & crickets from most of its priests. It's way past time for the MI legislature to address a crisis that is a strain on the health and financial wellbeing of our communities.

It is inconceivable that any parish in the Diocese of Lansing would host a party to celebrate an alleged child rapist who is suspended from ministry. Opening it to the public on church property is a violation of safe environment. We expect @bishopboyea to act immediately.

Fr. John Rocus's actions are a form of grooming. Safe environment & clerical conduct policies are worthless if you allow a priest to continuously platform an alleged child rapist. Bishop Earl Boyea what are you going to do about Rocus? This has to stop

We could start talking about the dysfunction instead. In the past 20 years how many priests ordained at SHMS asked to leave or expressed a desire to leave seminary & were coerced to stay? How many men from the Lansing diocese (Ralph's home) were prayed over and told what their
