Yes, I believe that the law firm is so expert in the matter of clergy/ church sexual abuse they must have believed them. This is wonderful news. In my experience valid cases of ab use are blown off from the abuse investigators form the get -go all too many times.

Puddington I wish you had warned me to put in ears plugs. While a video of Yoko Ono screaming like a cat seems a bit off subject I think it puts into perspective the film Vain Glory when Tony Cox says he was searching for god or something like that - Yoko and he were into weird stuff. - Cox time of hiding out with his daughter just did not seem to have a complete perspective of the walk. ) O

The Washington Post published and article ( unrelated to TLW) I think you will find the words relevant.
