I’m so proud of my husband. Always. Every day. He’s a survivor, an advocate, a superhero, and an inspiration. He gives voice to the voiceless and— along with organizations like @childusa — fights to change laws that need changing. The world is a brighter (and safer) place because of him. ❤️ #childusa #speakup #useyourvoice #stopabuse #protectchildren #windowtojustice #sokidscanbekids #SOLreform #youmakemelovely #givevoicetothevoiceless #mylove (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4l9121p4qq/?igshid=1puidvjm3klfz

The abuse is committed most often by male enlisted troops, according to the data, followed by family members.

“Canon Law has a core theme of avoiding scandal,” Rosenberg said. “So when the church faces scandal, it will take steps that it feels are appropriate based on its own teachings to avoid notoriety and attention. It’s part of an understood history, culturally speaking.”
