What does the Bible say about the sexual abuse crisis?
This week we continue our parish-wide study of Bishop Robert Barron’s new book, Letter to a Suffering Church, by exploring Chapter 2, titled “Light from Scripture”.
Bishop Barron notes how this terrible abuse crisis has been analyzed from numerous perspectives: psychological, interpersonal, criminal, cultural, etc.
These are each important, but the problem will not be adequately investigated until we see it in the light coming from the Word of God.
As it turns out, the Bible has a great deal to say about human sexuality and the myriad ways that sin twists and distorts it.
Watch this short video from Bishop Barron on how the Bible sheds light on our current crisis:
