Violence Resources and References
“Called to follow the example of Jesus, we must wake up! We must rebuke the storm of family violence by condemning it for what it is – sin. We must help those who are perishing find safety for themselves and for their children and we must help those who batter to definitively change their behavior in an environment where they are unable to cause harm to others.”
The Most Reverend James A. Griffin, J.D.,
