The Priests in Crisis blog site is a gateway to emergency resources for faithful Catholic priests in personal crisis.
A Catholic priest in the United States does not consistently enjoy due process nor civil rights when accused of wrong doing. In a matter of days or hours, a diocesan priest may find himself without his reputation, his home, his family, his livelihood, and his hope.
“I know now that people are being a lot more careful about what they say.

I’m Suzanne Sadler, a JPII Gen Xer. Before moving to Australia and getting married in 2008, I worked in health care management at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Prior to spending five years in the Great White North, I spent 34 years in the Washington, DC suburbs of Virginia.

I busy myself staying current with SEO methods and Web 2.0 social media strategies. I do this in order to fuel Catholic sites — faithful to the Magisterium of course — with Google juice.
“The Christian writer does not decide what would be good for the world and proceed to deliver it. Like a very doubtful Jacob, he confronts what stands in his path and wonders if he will come out of the struggle at all.” ~ Flannery O’Connor
