Book Abstract:
Some have expressed a valid concern that the problem of the sexual abuse of adults by Catholic clergy and religious is causing harm to many victims, and may one day explode in the face of the church as the child abuse problem did. Life Coach Kathryn Byrne approaches this problem with compassionate understanding as well as thoughtful insight for healing. Her book is a valuable resource for all who advocate for healing and justice for the abused, as well as for victims/survivors of abuse by clergy and religious leaders.

Kathryn R. Byrne has a Master of Pastoral Ministry (M.P.M.) from the University of Dallas. She has a Life Coaching practice, Open Heart Life Coaching, LLC, in the Loganville/Snellville, GA, area. Kathryn has been employed and/or has volunteered in various aspects of Catholic lay ministry for more than 30 years.
