By Bill Crane Jr., Daily Record - I am a survivor of childhood clergy sexual abuse from two priests in New Jersey. In 2002, I attended the bishops’ conference in Dallas, Texas at which hundreds of Catholic officials — facing massive public and parishioner pressure due to a flood of abuse and cover-up cases — grudgingly adopted some “reforms.”.. They enacted the so-called Dallas Charter, which pledged to dramatically change how the church handled these widespread and devastating crimes... Unfortunately, my optimism was soon shattered, as New Jersey bishops Ted McCarrick, Frank Rodimer, John Myers, Joseph Tobin, Joseph Galante and Dennis Sullivan repeatedly violated both the letter and the spirit of the Charter.
