God sent his Son into the world to conquer sin and death, and in his resurrection, we are redeemed and forgiven. Even as this truth gives us eternal hope, we recognize that sin, violence and sickness still prevail on earth. In the Catholic Church we have witnessed the horror of sexual abuse by clergy and other church leaders. It is an unspeakable action that cries to heaven for justice. The sin of sexual abuse must be rooted out and eliminated.
