Priests' victim meets Cardinal

BY PIERS MCGRANDLE
A 3/3-YEAR-OLD man, who was sexually abused by two priests as a child, met Cardinal Hume on Wednesday in a bid to set up a support group for victims in the Catholic Church.
Mr Peter Saunders, a practising Catholic and lecturer at Ealing Teritary College, West London, is currently off work due to depression. He was only able to tell his mother about the abuse a few years ago. "My Christianity tells me to forgive. The Church needs to understand why and how people abuse". Mr Saunders claimed that current support groups, such as the Esther Rantzen-led ChilcIline, are "wholly Made
quate" when it comes to addressing the widespread problem.
"Somebody has got to be found to gather together all the interested parties and sort out this problem, which is psychological as much as physical. If I don't get support from the Church, then I don't know who to turn to", he added.
