â
Weâve got to stand up for the people who have been abused by our brothers,â says Ronald Patrick Raab, CSC, the pastor of Sacred Heart Parish in Colorado Springs. Raabâs artwork, which addresses clerical sexual abuse and misconduct within the church, is currently on display at Cottonwood Center for the Arts.
Originally, these paintings were published in
The Stations of the Cross in Atonement for Abuse and for the Healing of All, a resource created by Raab and Paul Turner, pastor of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Kansas City, Missouri. In it, a statement from an abuse survivor and a confessional prayer from Turner accompany each of the 14 paintings of the Scripture-based Stations of the Cross.
