not always the church is a place of protection and meditation ...
Raped by seven priests for years, won record compensation. Rita Milla, now 46, has been sexually abused a partire dall'età di 16 anni; ma oggi l'arcidiocesi di Los Angeles, retta dal cardinale Roger Mahony, ha dovuto tirare fuori dalle proprie casse mezzo milione di dollari. E lo stesso cardinale ha fatto le spese in prima persona della rabbia della gente sconvolta per gli scandali sessuali in cui è rimasta coinvolta la Chiesa californiana: lo scorso anno Mahony è stato vittima di un'aggressione violenta da parte di un uomo per strada, secondo quanto hanno raccontato alcuni sacerdoti con cui il cardinale si confidò.
Il caso di Rita Milla, riferito dalla rete tv Cbs e finito su tutte le prime pagine dei giornali americani, è particolarmente crudo: la donna ha una figlia da uno di questi sacerdoti, mentre un altro aveva cercato make her have an abortion by giving money to travel to the Philippines where to implement the termination of pregnancy.
for the Diocese of Los Angeles is just the latest chapter in a long series of sexual abuse: Recently the Church of the Californian metropolis has paid substantial damages to hundreds of cases of violence and sexual harassment of which they are found guilty over the years priests of their own clergy. The aggression of Cardinal Mahony is placed in this context: it happened last year, just after a settlement of $ 660 million for sexual abuse over 500 children in the community. It 'was the biggest to ever be paid in the U.S. for a case like this. The attack on Mahony, until now remained secret, was reported by some priests who were present at the meeting in which he told. No official comment today comes from the cardinal, who, according to the accounts, it took a month to recover from the assault.
E 'was Rita Milla's attorney, Gloria Allred, to reveal some details of the legal case. The woman was 16 when the priest Santiago Tamayo began to sexually molest her and then began to have a relationship with her. Tamayo then presented the six other priests who sexually abusarano her, and one of them got her pregnant.
Shortly before his death in 1999, Father Tamayo apologized to the woman and gave evidence that the other fit priests guilty of sexual abuse made Rita Milla. Again in 2003 a California state court ruled that the father of the woman's daughter was just a priest, Valentine Tugade.
scandal, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles declined to comment, but Cardinal Mahony issued a statement in which he wanted to reaffirm the commitment of the Church of the United States in protecting children and preventing sexual abuse.
's just the last few days another case of sexual abuse had affected the American Church. The Diocese of Davenport, Iowa, had accepted a legal agreement under which they must pay $ 37 million to 156 victims of sexual abuse commessi dai suoi sacerdoti fra il 1930 e il 2003.
