‘An offense against God’ - Sisters say Vatican abuse response not enough

Three women say that Vatican measures against their former spiritual director are not sufficient, and that his allegedly sexually abusive conduct should have merited a steeper sanction.

The women say that Fr. David Nicgorski, formerly the superior general of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary, groomed them in spiritual direction while they were members of the Daughters of St. Paul, leading in one case to an alleged sexual assault.

But while the Vatican has prohibited Nicgorski from serving as a spiritual director for five years, the sisters say the decision was not enough, and the priest could eventually abuse other women.

The organist at my old church used to try to show me dirty pictures. I told an usher and he said "Ignore that clown!" in front of the organist and it stopped. My old priest used to ask me graphic questions about my boyfriend at the time. I had it coming at me from both sides.
I agree that it isn't enough to just give a slap on the hand of this spiritual director.
