L.A. clergy sexual abuse website

THE TIDINGS reports ...

The law firm representing the Archdiocese of Los Angeles has established a website to provide comprehensive information and analysis about the resolution of clergy sexual abuse as a legal issue.

... J. Michael Hennigan of Hennigan, Bennett & Dorman, which represents the Archdiocese, said legal issues stemming from the clergy abuse scandal are complicated and often misunderstood.

"I think everyone, from Cardinal Mahony on down, has felt some frustration that the local media just hasn't been explaining these issues completely," he said. "And that's a shame because the issues before the courts involve matters fundamental to the way Catholic practice their religion. We hope this website will clear up some of the misinformation and help people to understand better the positions staked out by the Archdiocese."
