Dear Editor:

Is it OK with you that Bishop Robert Deeley is cutting off payments for much needed mental health treatment for a victim of child sexual abuse?

Most victims of childhood trauma do their best to maintain a mental and emotional balance that keeps them one step ahead of depression, low self esteem, toxic guilt, and suicide.

What a sad and pathetic Catholic Christian community it is that does not pack the courtroom to stand in communion with David Gagnon on Thursday.

The service of our faith must include the promotion of justice.
