Broken Trust Stories of Pain, Hope and Healing from Clerical Abuse Survivors and Abusers

This book will change lives! Alongside the stories you know from the headlines - the devastation experienced by the survivors, the tragic mistakes by the Catholic hierarchy -Broken Trust tells the stories of the priest abusers in their own words. Anger, repentance, and even self delusion are revealed as they recount what brought them to abuse the boys and girls, men and women in their trust. The counselors offer their own expert perspectives on the stories, then introduce us to stories from abuse survivors, including the inspiring story of one of the counselors and how she herself survived clerical sexual abuse. We learn that hope for healing comes only by frank and open discussion of how priests broke the trust they'd been given.Fleming, Patrick is the author of 'Broken Trust Stories of Pain, Hope and Healing from Clerical Abuse Survivors and Abusers', published 2007 under ISBN 9780824524104 and ISBN 0824524101.
