Donald Cozzens' keynote at the Symposium “Trusting the Clergy: The churches and communities come to grips with sexual misconduct.” It focuses on the issues we still have to face concerning sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, which are: How do we know what the truth is when there are sexual abuse allegations; and how do we protect children from such abuse?
