NOTE: This episode includes discussion of sexual abuse in specific terms. It may not be appropriate for all listeners. Sexual abuse victims have been through so many ordeals with the Catholic Church. The message we’ve been getting is that victims are being protected, things are different. But are they? Today, Michigan Radio’s Kate Wells tells us the story of two young priests, and another non-clergy employee, at a Michigan seminary who say they were sexually abused and harassed by a prominent Polish-American priest there. And the allegations aren’t ancient history. Some of them date back to last year.  GUEST: Kate Wells is a Michigan Radio reporter.
