JUDGE SAYS CHILD ABUSE IS SOUL MURDER
In chapter 5 of my upcoming book, When Priests Become Predators, Thomas Doyle, who has long equated childhood sexual abuse with murder of the tender souls of children, testifies.
Well now a judge has agreed with him.
Common Pleas Court Judge M. Teresa Sarmina yesterday sentenced Msgr. William J. Lynn to three to six years in state prison for child endangerment in the long cover-up which the Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church in Philadelphia appears to have orchestrated.

Doyle testified for the prosecution in that criminal trial.
The monsignor deserved a stiff term, Judge Sarmina told him, because of “your support and facilitation of monsters in clerical garb . . . who destroyed the souls of children.”
Tom Doyle, who is a good Dominican priest who has long fought the battle for justice for survivors of childhood sexual abuse, is no longer the only one who recognizes that child abuse is murder of the soul. Thankfully the Courts are now acknowledging that important fact.
