"When anyone steps out of the system and tells the truth, lives the truth, that person enables everyone else to peer behind the curtain too. That person has shown everyone that it is possible to live within the truth . . . ‘Living within the lie can constitute the system only if it is universal.’ Anyone who steps out of line therefore ‘denies it in principle and threatens it in its entirety.’"
~Vaclav Havel

To other current or former church insiders who have sought to stop abusers, prevent abuse, or support survivors....
We provide a network of peers who understand.To those who want to speak out about abuse in the Catholic Church, but are daunted by the repercussions...
We provide moral and canonical support.
It is important for all of us - and Church leaders - to give voice to victims/survivors and their loved ones.
We have worked with so many victims/survivors, their parents, siblings, spouses, and loved ones, who want to share their story. It takes courage to give voice to the pain, continue their healing, and advocate for change.
