A victim of clerical sexual abuse lays it on the line Vinnie Nauheimer has written extensively on the subject of clerical abuse. He has written two books on the subject of clergy abuse. One of poetry "Silent Screams" and one comprised of selected letters sent over an eight year period on the subject of clergy abuse called "Epistles on Clergy Abuse". His art, poetry and writing can be found on websites around the world. Though no institution issues a degree in Clerical Abuse, Mr Nauheimer successfully survived advanced classes from the School of Intimidation and Slander sponsored by the NY Archdiocese. Both his and his family's degree of pain were acknowledged by a Grand Jury probing the issue of clergy abuse. He says his goals are the same as those stated by Pope Benedict XVI in Australia on July 19, 2008: "Victims should receive compassion and care, and those responsible for these evils must be brought to justice."
