MANCHESTER, N.H. -- A group of priests in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Manchester in New Hampshire is asking fellow priests to contribute money to help those who were stripped of their ministry for sexually abusing minors.
The Rev. Michael Griffin, president of the newly formed Organization of Concerned Priests, tells the Union Leader newspaper, they began to sympathize with the men involved in the scandal. He said, "We could not imagine how we could have coped if we were in their shoes."
Since starting the effort, it has been expanded to include helping sick and retired priests.

The organization has registered as a nonprofit and sent a letter to all diocesan priests asking them to donate a minimum of one-thousand dollars each to a "Mercy Fund" that would be available to help unassigned priests with legitimate financial needs.
Griffin said the effort is about living the Christian message.
He said the group's efforts are not intended to diminish the pain that survivors of the abuse suffered.
