CHICAGO - A former altar boy in a Chicago-area Greek Orthodox Church contends a priest sexually abused him in the 1970s and church officials covered it up. The lawsuit filed Tuesday claims a man identified in court papers as "John Doe 124" was abused as a teen by Reverend Nicholas E. Katinas (kuh-TEE'-nas).

Scorned by victims' advocates for not reaching out to victims of clergy sex abuse, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago has tried to make up for lost time and lost souls. On Tuesday, the archdiocese launched a new counseling initiative for the loved ones of those abused by priests.
Beginning this week, four free sessions will be led by a licensed clinical social worker.
The sessions will include open discussion and sharing among participants and information about how the abuse affects the family, the healing process, the long-term effects of sexual abuse and rebuilding trust, communication, affection and hope.
"It is with a sense of hopefulness that we have developed this new educational program with the wish that through open dialogue this will be a beginning of positive change for these family members," said Matthew Hunnicutt, director of the archdiocese's office of assistance ministry.

Extreme Makeover making over the LA Catholic Church?
Because I try to cover all the reasons of PTSD, the stories of the rapes of kids by some priests, will be part of what I post on. To get a real grip on the fact PTSD is a human condition caused by trauma, we need to learn all we can about other causes. It will help to eliminate the stigma.
When I was reading this story, it took so many unexpected turns, there is a great need to read all of it.
As it turns out, Ty Pennington went to see Cardinal Roger Mahony about helping a rape victim begin helping others with a center for other victims of priests. Pennington wanted to help Kay Ebeling do just that.
While the Cardinal was trying to say they did all they could, one of the Extreme Makeover staffers took a look at property owned by the church and found they owned a building used in porn. You have to read the rest of this story yourself. You'd never believe it if I only took other parts out of this and there is just no way to cut down four pages to do this any kind of justice. Great work on this, that's for sure.

Kay Ebeling devotes hours of time as a volunteer to a cause that's important to her. She’s a journalist who just happens to also be a victim of Catholic Priest pedophilia, so Kay produces City of Angels blog where she is determined to get out the truth, about sex crimes in the Catholic Church.
