Sexual Assault and Abuse Claims
Leaders of Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests and BishopAccountability.org Criticize New York Catholic Prep School for Harboring Priests who were Sex Abusers
The New York Times reported on October 22, 2008 that two groups that advocate for sex-abuse victims, the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests (SNAP) and BishopAccountability.org, identified two priests that were permitted to live until recently on the campus of Fordham Preparatory School in the Bronx. The groups criticized the school administration for allowing the priests to reside there for years after the abuse complaints were made known.One abuser's case was resolved in 1997 but school officials and the archdiosese refused to confirm the terms of the settlement agreement. The other priest was recently sued by Richard Cerick, a former student at Fordham Prep and now a lawyer in New York, for the abuses that occurred in late 1968. The priest has since died but Cerick said that even though he reported the crime three years ago, the priest was permitted to continue to work and reside on Fordham's campus.

I was a student at Fordham Prep from 1948 to 1952. I was neither abused, nor did I know anyone who was abused at the Prep.
However when I read of the allegations I wrote to both the President of the Prep and the University and asked that a forum be set up at Fordham to discuss the sexual abuses in the Church in general, and at Fordham in particular.
I was told by the President of the University that his lawyers forbid it.
I pointed out to Fr. McShane that if St. Ignatius had been that timid the Refomation would have succeeded in making the Chritian world Non catholic.
I also said I would withhold any donations to Fordham until a discussion of the problem took place.
I wonder if any other Fordham graduates feel as I do.
