Quiet no more

Tim McGuire was a curious young boy who wondered what his brother and friends did as altar boys during mass at their local Catholic Church. Similarly, as a teenager, John Waddington was invited to join a youth group at a local church. These events led to life-changing experiences when they were both abused by priests. The burden of this secret haunted them for years until they finally found the courage to come forward as adults and confront the church. Their stories highlight the heartbreaking cost of the abuse and the church's denial and obfuscation of these horrendous crimes. Now, John, Tim, and others who have suffered must wait for the outcome of a bankruptcy case to determine if they will receive any resolution.
