After the recent announcement from the Florida AG that she is beginning a comprehensive investigation into clergy sex abuse of minors in the Catholic Church, renewed scrutiny has been applied to the Miami archdiocese, which has settled $26.1 million in settlements and costs for sexual misconduct accusations over the years. That is a large chunk of change, and many parish members aren’t taking matters lightly.

26 million is probably just the tip of the iceberg. What happens if more victims come forward and bring cases? The recent report out of Pennsylvania revealed that over 300 priests were credibly accused. The number in Florida to date is less than 50. If an investigation uncovers numbers similar to Pennsylvania, then the flood gates are open for more litigation.

One barrier to litigation has been the reluctance of victims to come forward because they feel so much shame and don’t want to be ostracized. However, as more people step forward, the courage is bound to become contagious. Once you see that someone is brave enough to come forward and tell the truth, it becomes a lot easier for you to share your pain and start on the road to healing.
