When Anthony J. O'Connell resigned, I heard all the time that he "just made a mistake." The story which is still held firmly by so many in East Tennessee and the Diocese of Knoxville is that it was mistake. Catholics in the pews tell me over and over that he just "accidentally bumped into the boy's crotch and that the boy made it up that it was sexual."
I know that the many victims of Anthony O'Connell would just love to know that it was all a mistake. That taking them to bed and lying naked with them was just a mistake. The rest of what happened I can't say here. You will have to ask them.
A mistake? If it happened to your child, to someone you love, to you, would it be a mistake?
The following presentation was made to respond in some fashion to this notion that "Father just made a mistake."
