Terrie Light stands outside Oakland's stunning new modern cathedral in a first-of-its-kind garden that honors victims of clergy sexual abuse. She was abused by a priest at age 7.

For the first time, the Catholic Church has offered a garden that honors victims of clergy sex abuse.
"It's a really small, important physical representation of a horrific thing that happened in many places," she told CNN.

It's almost funny, but not. An 'Honor Garden' though?

Appropriate for all those priests who were "uphill gardeners" though.

Well I don't know about you guys but, had I been raped by a priest, it would really help me if I knew that other priests are finding horticulture to be more interesting then molesting children.

It would be interesting to see what the church will do to soothe the pain for the victims if some priest becomes a serial killer? Maybe they'll build a theme park!

if they want a physical representation, aren't there websites they can visit?
