Next on New Hampshire Outlook. Innocence Lost. Part four of our series on the sex abuse scandal in the catholic church. |
| Hello Return to index of stories... |
Hello, I'm Allison McNair. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. |
| Intro Innocence 4 Return to index of stories... |
In the wake of the sexual abuse allegations in the Roman Catholic Church, some are calling for church reforms. From eliminating the requirement of celibacy to bringing women into leadership roles - those are just some of the issues that are now being discussed. Correspondent Theresa Kennett reports from North Conway. |
| Innocence Pt 4 Return to index of stories... |
Ginger at 30:41 - 30:59 My first thought when this all started breaking was my god those poor children who were now adults who have had their whole lives affected. And then the next was heartbreak for the good people in the church who have been let down by their superiors. Jump cut 47:54 - 47:58 The cover up is almost worse than the crime. Ginger Bailey, a member of Our Lady of the Mountains Parish in North Conway, was among the 24 parishioners who recently attended a listening session at Our Lady of the Mountains parish. 30:03 - 30:40 It's going to take a long time to heal but I think that many in the hierarchy should resign. Just because I think that it's a terrible distraction for the church. Every time Cardinal Law, for example, is before a camera or before an audience or anything, the main concern will be his involvement in transferring priests who were known to him to be sexual offenders or suspected offenders and transferring them. As a parent, I'm just appalled. A retired elementary school nurse, Bailey is says she understands the pain that is inflicted when sexual abuse occurs. Ginger at 33:54 - 34:21 Someone at the meeting said these people are all adults now why did it take them so long to come forward. They could not come forward when they were children, They could never come forward with that when they were a child, especially growing up 20 or 30 years ago, there was no way. And I think that it takes a tremendous amount of guts for these young adults now to come forward Although one of the accused NH Priests served as Pastor at Our Lady of the Mountains, no allegations of abuse have been reported from this parish. DJ Poulin at 01:34:29 c I knew two others from my youth. The scandal hits close to home for Don Poulin. Not only did he attend a seminary for 4 and half years, at the age of 10 he served as an alter boy for one of the NH priests accused of sexual misconduct. 01:39:51 - 1:40:13 I never saw that. I saw him as a very kind wonderful priest and that's the sad thing I think that all of these men had parts of them that were their calling their vocation and what they did. Jump cut to 01:59:28 -:38 If they did in fact do this, they have had to live with this guilt, this evil demon for all of their lives. Jump cut to 14:14 - 14:27 It's very painful on both counts. I feel for the victim and in my case I even feel for some of the perpetrators. Bill Crowley 1:07:27 I think it's very wrong to give the priesthood a broad brush of associating them with that type of person. Bill Crowley is a Eucharistic Minister at OLM. He is concerned that the after shock of this scandal will reduce what is already a declining population of young men joining the priesthood. Stand up in Church: 01:25:57 - 01:26:11 Our Lady of the Mountains Parish just built this brand new facility. You see, they consolidated three churches into one. Not because there weren't enough parishioners to support three churches but because there weren't enough priests to provide all of the services One of the changes that the Catholic Church should consider Crowley says, is letting women into the priesthood. Bill 1:05:50 - 1:06:12 I think that there are way too many men controlling the country myself and in dealing with women I think that they are as effective if not more effective in bringing in a new point of view. So I think that the church should look into bringing women into higher positions and possibly priests. DJ Poulin 01:46:12 -:18 Oh I think we've lost some good people, me included. While studying to be a priest, Poulin had many conversations with his teachers about the requirement of celibacy, and why it was important. 01:43:54 -:05 What is interesting is that this many years later, all of the priests that I had these discussions with have left, are married, and have more kids than I do. However, not everyone is questioning the doctrines of the Church. Instead they are calling for compassion. 5:13 - 5:21 We can face the things that we need to see, if they've happened, we need to face them. We need to accept them. We need to have mercy on those who do them. Bonnie Kimnauch is very active at Our Lady of the Mountains, volunteering in the religious gift shop and teaching catechism. Bonnie at 18:21 - 19:31 I do not blame the Catholic Church wholly, I believe that we all have a responsibility as parents as teachers as parishioners. We need to care about what's going on we need to pay attention. Kimmauch does not feel that the bedrock on which the Catholic Church was founded, the all male, celibate priesthood, should be dismantled. 11:01 - 11:16 I think that there is enough that we can do as women without taking a priests role. I myself, I'm not a priest, I'm a woman and I participate in many events in the church. Freely, freely they welcomed me. In regard to the requirement of celibacy, Kimnauch had this to say: 7:43 - 7:52 It is a choice that a person makes to the devotion of love of Christ, love of church, love of community. They make that choice. Its not something forced on them. Jump cut to 25:16 - 25:38 This is a very crucial time for the Catholic Church right now to really pull our faith together as a community as a church. Two or more gathered in his name we have to pray for each other that we get through this that we stay together, that we become even stronger as a faith and a community. STAND UP In Front of Church Everyone that I spoke with from Our Lady of the Mountains expressed the high regard in which they hold their parish priests, Father Gerry Belanger and Father Louis Soucey. And all though neither priest felt comfortable appearing on camera, they issued a statement saying that they are thankful for the tremendous support that they have received from their parishioners during this crisis. From Our Lady of the Mountains Parish, I'm Theresa Kennett for NH Outlook. |

| Intro McCormack Return to index of stories... |
Manchester Diocese Bishop John McCormack says when it comes to the ordination of women, the teaching of the church is definitive. Earlier this week, we spoke to the Bishop at length.And we asked him how he felt as he was getting ready to publicly release the names of priests suspected of child abuse in New Hampshire. |

| Intro Sex offenders Return to index of stories... |
A bill that would increase access to the list of certain sexual offenders in the state was heard before the senate judiciary committee Thursday. The bill would make the list of offenders available online through the Department of Safety's Website. Those who testified in favor of the bill say it would raise awareness and modernize the so called, 'Megan's Law List'. Those opposed say increasing access to offender information unfairly targets sexual offenders and could give parents a false sense of security. |
| Sex offenders Return to index of stories... |
T2; 22:35 I would urge the cmty to be very careful to this list we can already get in from the PD but when you put it on the net no individual will be able to escape his or her past. 22:56 OUT ***BUTT*** 01:51 I've been a guardian for abused and neglected children a long time and I know a lot pedoles who have had no treatment no remorse and are wondering freely and this bills gives people a false sense of security about who's out there. You need to be watching your children all the time. 2:13 ***BUTT*** Virginia Larose, Newmarket t1; 6:15. As far as it being a false sense of security I've heard that so many times. I think its a given that parents have to be protective of their children anywhere and in any environment but if you know for a fact that someone is a pedoile then I think you would take added precautions with your child. 6:34 OUT |
| Sex offenders TAG Return to index of stories... |
Currently there are over 700 registered sex offenders in the state. To find out if there is one in your city or town you can get the information from the local police. The senate is expected to vote on House Bill 1426 in the next two weeks. |
| EMT-blood Return to index of stories... |
Another bill heard by the Senate Judiciary committee Thursday would authorize EMT's and Fire fighters to draw blood at the scene of an accident for certain blood alcohol tests. Several law enforcement officials testified in favor of the bill. They say blood samples taken at the scene can be critical when prosecuting a D-W-I case. Some emergency medical care providers say taking a blood sample at the scene could compromise patient care. |
| EMT blood Return to index of stories... |
Todd Germain prof ff of NH 33:44 If I could spell out a quick accident scene we get to the scene of an alleged DWI we need to treat them and an officer taps an EMT on the shoulder and says hey can you take a quick blood sample. whether or not we say yes or no this person is already painting us with the brush of law enforcement at that point we may lose their trust and this patient has the right to refuse any treatment at this point in time. 34:22 OUT |
| Tag EMT Return to index of stories... |
The committee didn't act today. When it does the bill then moves to the full senate. |
| Protected Land Return to index of stories... |
A former state senator from New Hampshire's North Country wants lawmakers to study the impact protecting land has on the economy. Former Senator Fred King of Colebrook testified today for a bill to study what happens when land is bought by federal, state or other agencies for conservation. King said North Country residents have a saying that land is paved and developed in the south and protected in the north. He says the pending deal involving 171-thousand acres owned by International Paper protects not just the land, but also jobs by allowing logging and recreation to continue. King said the federal government isn't living up to its promise to pay communities in lieu of taxes for fire and other services they provide in the national forest. |
| Threats Return to index of stories... |
A federal judge in Concord denied bail Thursday for a 40-year-old Manchester man accused of operating a Web site that threatened executives at his former employer, Global Crossing, a high-tech company in California. Steven Sutcliffe was also charged with posting personal information, including Social Security numbers, from nearly two thousand company employees on the site. He was arrested in Manchester on Tuesday by the FBI. He was a technical support worker for Global Crossing, which now is bankrupt. |

| Mill Petition Return to index of stories... |
A Berlin man who wants to keep the city's idle pulp mill closed has drawn the wrath of his neighbors. He says callers threatened to tar and feather him and suggested he move out of town, or be run out. His laundry business has dropped more than 90 percent this week. Residents are responding to a petition drafted by Cook, asking that the Berlin mill stay closed to keep the city's air clean. |
| Expensive Lettuce Return to index of stories... |
You're likely to be paying more for your salads in the coming weeks. That's because the price of iceburg lettuce is on the rise. Freezing weather in lettuce-growing areas of Arizona and California is to blame. In some cases the price is four times higher than normal. One school is mixing its iceberg with spinach and other greens not damaged by the cold. |

| Intro Violence Return to index of stories... |
Finally tonight. a new study about tv vieweing, teenagers and violence. This one by Columbia University is published in the Journal of Science. It says watching TV for as much as three hours a day can lead to violent behavior later.The findings back up other studies on the subject. Sean Calebs reports. |
| TV VIOLENCE Return to index of stories... |
T for tiger. It's not unusual to find Mick and Sonya Karn playing a board game after school. Their mom, Bethany, says she limits the amount of T-V they watch every day to less than two hours. but she says. It's a constant battle. IT'S ALL DAY LONG. I KNOW CHILDREN WHO GET UP AT THREE A-M AND TURN ON THE TV SET. But fighting the battle could very well help her children as they grow up. A new study --headed up by Columbia University --shows that teenagers who watch more than an hour of TV a day are more likely to be violent as they grow up. With a wealth of violence on TV, the findings come as no shock to Karn. WHAT I SEE AIMED AT ADOLESCENTS SCARES ME FAR MORE THAN WHAT I SEE AIMED AT MY CHILDREN. AND I WORRY ABOUT HTE FUTURE OF WHAT MY CHILDREN WILL WANT TO WATCH AND WHAT TV WILL EXPOSE THEM TO. The study followed TV viewing habits of both urban.and suburban families in upstate New York over a 17-year-period. It shows only about five percent of teens watching TV less than an hour a day are likely to commit an agressive act. But the percentage escalates to more 22-percent for kids watching three hours of TV. And up to nearly 29-percent for those watching more than three hours. The study defines violence as fights, robberies and assault. SO, THAT OVERTIME.THE MORE VIOLENT SCENES THAT PEOPLE SEE.THE LESS THEY ARE DISTURBED OR UPSET BY THEM.AND THEY TEND TO THINK OF THEM AS MORE AND MORE ACCEPTABLE. Researchers say --60-percent of TV shows contain some kind of violence. They aren't urging a ban on television. But, be aware that children are affected by what they watch. Sean Callebs CNN. |
