North Carolina contractor David Fortwengler
“It’s not a matter of sitting down with a bishop for five minutes and him apologizing and (me) being able to move on-it’s more than that.”
-David Fortwengler, a former altar boy who was abused in the late 1960s at St. Columba Catholic Church in Oxon Hill, Md. The North Carolina contractor told The Washington Post that he appreciates payments by the Catholic Archdiocese of Washington for his counseling and a personal apology from an auxiliary bishop, but he has not completely healed from past abuse.
