The automatic veneration of powerful men who exploit powerless people, men and women both, ensures that there is no protection and justice for those who need it most. Thank you for your clear enunciation of the issue!!

I, too, had been a lifelong student and admirer of Vanier, one of my earliest Christian influences.
Yours is a much needed articulation of Vanier’s abuses, and of issues that continue to loom large in the Church. Thank you for your clarity and insight.
