The more we can get together and talk about various perspectives, feelings, beliefs, the better.

I think the issue of clergy sexual abuse sparked people to look at their faith in a different way.

I would say the hierarchy has made terrible errors in judgment and it has to seek forgiveness by its members.

What we're about is a manifestation of the Catholic roots of Boston College.

Now where people are - at least the people I talk to - they are focused on issues of trust. Accountability also comes up, to make sure that this doesn't happen again.

The church may hold whatever it holds with regard to clerical celibacy.

I am very confident that the Spirit is with us.
