[edit] Discussion

This article does not mention the sexual abuse schandal that has inflicted the dioscess of springfield. A ealier version this article written in in early august of 2005 was changed to not reflect the scandal. Speaking as communicant associated with the disocess of springfield I can attest to that versions accuracy. The sex abuse scandal has touched springfield. The diocese's actions in addressing the issue have come into question. In addition our former bishop was accused of sex abuse, and did not deny the charges. Though he was not crimminally charge because of the statue of limitations.

In addition 13 year old abuse victim was murdered many years ago, though his name does escape me. A priest was a suspect and that murder is still a open case.
