Publications and Educational Resources
This list has been compiled by CLC members over time as we have gone about educating ourselves about the clergy sexual abuse crisis and related issues. It covers various topics that have been raised in our CLC group and at parish meetings. We wish to emphasize that this list is not intended to be comprehensive or exhaustive. Rather it is provided as examples of books, articles, journals, videos and websites we found helpful as we grappled with the questions raised by the clergy sexual abuse crisis. We encourage you to use it as a jumping off point for your own learning, not as prescriptive. If you have resources that you have found to be helpful, please let us know

Sr. Nuala has dedicated herself to the healing of victims and the conversion of the church through her writing and speaking. Her most recent book on the subject Still Unhealed is available from Novalis.
