Taking a stand on sexual abuse?

Rod Dreher has a piece about them in today’s WSJ

Mother Veronica Sweeney, 66, and Sister M. Angela Ferry, 53, have devoted themselves to praying and advocating for victims of sexual abuse by clergy and members of religious orders. They run a Web site, through which they invite victims and their families to contact them for intercession. Four days after their Web address was featured recently on a couple of Catholic Web sites, the nuns found themselves swamped by desperate e-mails from all over the country.

“Some of these people are on the verge of suicide,” Mother Veronica says. “Some of these stories are beyond imagining. We don’t know where we’ll go from here, but we’ll do our best to comfort the victims. This is simply a tragedy of unbelievable proportions.”
