Our Church has been wounded from the poor choices made by priests and Bishops. Many have left the church and all of us have been indirectly affected by this modern tragedy. The Bishops of the U.S. have made sure that all adults and children are better educated so as to provide a safe environment. Paul's message is not one of dragging up the past, but of healing wounds so that we can all move forward with love in the hope of Christ.
Paul and his wife Maggie met while coordinating Search weekend for teens back in the 80's. Paul left the business world to become a counselor and has his masters. Growing up, his family was affected by the mistakes of priests, Paul has counseled over 200 men who have been abused. He brings a message of healing that was so strongly embodied by Pope Benedict during his visit to the U.S. last year.
