Thomas Doyle, Texas State University – Nuclear Weapons and the Moral Debate

Tom, a former Dominican priest, left the priesthood to stand with victims of clergy sexual abuse. He explains the reason for the cover-up was, sadly, not to protect the victims but rather to protect the image, the prestige, and the power of the institutional church.

Interview with Thomas Doyle about clergy sexual abuse

In September 2003 a Dominican priest, Father Tom Doyle, then stationed in Germany, was quietly relieved of his duties as an Air Force chaplain by Archbishop Edwin F. O’Brien, who heads the Archdiocese of Military Services. This decision was made public only in late April, and Doyle is completing his time in the military as a substance abuse counselor at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in North Carolina. The explanation offered was a difference in opinion between Father Doyle and the archbishop on the necessity of daily Mass on military bases. According to John Sheehan, ARCC national coordinator, the action “smacks of retaliation for Father Doyle’s outspoken support for the victims of sexual abuse by the clergy.” Referring to the books Our Fathers by David France and Vows of Silence by Jason Berry and Gerald Renner, Sheehan commented that “it seems an odd coincidence that he is no longer allowed to function as a priest in the military at just the time his attempts to end the bishops’ conspiracy of silence are chronicled in two new studies of the scandal.”
