Sexual Abuse by Clergy

Bailey, Charles L. (2006) “In the shadow of the cross: The true account of my childhood sexual and ritual abuse at the hands of a Roman Catholic priest.” iUniverse, NY, NY
NOTE: Bailey’s personal journey of recovery. He reveals how his ill-treatment destroyed his innocence and robbed him of identity and faith and explains how family and friends were impacted by the tragedy, how his development from child to adult was full of pitfalls, and how he struggled with issues of intimacy. Through his work with support groups, such as SNAP, (Survivors’ Network of those Abused by Priests), individual counseling, and his renewed faith in God, Bailey confronted his past and became an advocate for those impacted by clergy sexual abuse.
