CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY - HARM, HOPE AND HEALING
Marquette University International Dialogue on the Clergy Sexual Abuse
Scandal
THE TRUTH WILL MAKE YOU FREE: A PERSONAL JOURNEY
Lecture Notes of Most Rev. Diarmuid Martin
Archbishop of Dublin and Primate of Ireland
Marquette University, Milwaukee, 4th April 2011
Let me give you some brief statistical background into the extent of
the abuse scandal in the Archdiocese of Dublin. In the period between
1940 and 2010 – as far as it has been possible to ascertain -
allegations or suspicions of sexual abuse have been made against over
90 priests of the Archdiocese and against about 60 religious priests
who held diocesan appointments. 10 Dublin priests, or former priests,
have been convicted or have cases pending in the criminal courts. Two
non-diocesan priests, who served in Dublin, have also been convicted
in the criminal courts. The number of victims who have been
individually identified is 570, but it is generally accepted that the
number of children who were abused must run into thousands, possibly
by about 10 priests who were clearly serial pedophiles....
I remember well the first complaint about the behaviour of a priest
that arrived on my desk. I looked briefly at the priest's file to see
if there were any earlier indications about his behaviour. At the top
of the file I found a yellow page saying "Inspected regarding CSA -
Nothing found". I felt however that I should look at the file in a
little more detail and found that the very next document was an
internal note: "Father X seems to be back to his old activities".
Clearly there was knowledge of "old activities" but no clear
understanding that these activities indicated an on-going serious
pattern of grooming which should clearly have raised red flags. The
case was effectively dealt with respecting the appropriate norms; the
priest was removed from ministry and the civil authorities
informed....
If I take a Father Z, I can categorise him statistically in various
ways. He can be statistically registered as one priest; it can be
determined however that he abused perhaps one hundred known victims;
there can be valid indications that he had probably abused hundreds
more other children; the number of family members affected will then
easily reach into the thousands. And that is just for one priest.
And in Dublin you must multiply Father Z by about ten real serial
abusers....
I tell these events not to re-open history, but to illustrate just how
difficult it is to bring an institution around to the conviction that
the truth must be told. All institutions have an innate tendency to
protect themselves and to hide their dirty laundry. We have to learn
that the truth has a power to set free which half-truths do not have.
The first condition for restorative justice is that all parties are
willing to tell the truth and to take ownership of the truth, even
when the truth is unpleasant. As I said at a recent liturgy of
lament in Dublin: "The truth will set us free, but not in a simplistic
way. The truth hurts. The truth cleanses not like smooth designer
soap but like a fire that burns and hurts and lances"....

Children learn new ideas fast, and benefit a lot from learning new
skills. In the internet age we live in, it is important for them to
be
literate not only in browsing web pages, but also in developing them.
It might be hard work in the beginning, but they do get a boost in
confidence and satisfaction once they get it.
I helped my daughter create her first web page the other day. I was
pretty impressed with the speed at which she comprehended basic HTML
and web-publishing concepts. Have a look at it here:
I know it's rather basic but I think it is a pretty good attempt for

Hi, Jack

Middle school here is actually grades 5 and 6. Junior high is 7 and 8
and high school is 9 to 12
Back when I went to public school (in the 50s), our elementary was
k-6, junior high was 7 and 8 and high school was 9 - 12.
For my kids (in the 70s), elementary was k-5, middle school was 6 - 8
and high school was 9 -12
Mostly, the way grades were placed depended on the populations of the
schools and it had very little to do with educational ideas except for
the time when middle schools began (there was a lot of theory then
about how certain ages needed to begin preparing for high school, but
needed to be separated from the overly hormonal junior high kids).

Your elementary did not have a kindergarten? Mine did and I went to k
in 1950. Actually, our catholic school had a kindergarten as well
(with 60 kids in it). It was social mostly and not at all academic.

In the 70s, my kids took high school classes in 6th, 7th and 8th
grade. They did not take a special test, but they were accelerated
because they did well in their classes. This was only in math at the
time though. So my ds took algebra in 7th and my dd took it in 8th
grade. Some kids took it in 6th grade. Then the following year, my
ds took honors geometry at the high school during his first period
class.

I think this has to do with geography. Our catholic schools had k-8
and 9-12 and many of the kids did not go to the catholic high schools
as they were more expensive.

It is unfortunate that the PBS NewsHour has joined the crowd in
promoting pseudo-education. The entire transcript is at:
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/education/jan-june11/technology_04-08.html
===================
STUDENT: I think we learned -- I think I'm learning a lot more in
fourth grade, because, if we have to have a question, it's easier to
get it from the computer than the dictionary.
JOHN TULENKO: In this district, almost everything's online, from
classwork to homework. And tests are graded by computer.
KRISTIN FAUCHER: Four years ago, if they took an assessment, you know,
I would have to sit up at night and grade every paper. And, you know,
it might be two or three days. And now it is immediate feedback. And
I'm able to adapt my teaching and constantly change what I'm doing.
