“Unraveling the Shadowed Life of Father Earl Bierman: A Spiritual Struggle Against the Darkness Within”
The sexual abuse of children in any form has devastating and sometimes lifelong consequences. When the abuse is perpetrated by an agent of God, promising that what he is doing is good, even holy, the damage is more than physical and psychological. Earl Bierman committed spiritual abuse against his victims. Theirs was a suffering of body, mind and soul.
The Roman Catholic hierarchy has covered up, enabled and in some cases participated in the widespread sexual abuse of children by Roman Catholic priests.

Across the world, priests, bishops and even cardinals have been convicted in criminal courts. Across the world, dioceses have gone bankrupt paying for their sins against children.
