LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY, November 22, 2002 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Two former Kentucky television news workers responded to a sermon about the impact the sex abuse crisis was having on good priests by setting up a web site where people could thank the many priests who have been faithful to their vows. The National Catholic Register reports that Joe Lilly and Rick Redman decided to set up thankyoufather.com one morning during coffee. Redman says that “The vast majority of priests are good men and true to Christ and their vows”. Lilly adds that “Priests we knew told us they were afraid to go out in public with their collars on”. The two men felt that the media hammering of everything negative was unfair to the good priests” and that they wanted to do something to counter it. The site went live on August 1 and has had 25,000 visitors so far reports the Register.
