When those who have been hurt end up hurting others

In the Church, certain patterns repeat themselves: people who have been victims of gossip, exclusion or abuse can end up repeating the same behaviour towards others.

There are many vulnerable people in the Church and, in recent years, Church circles have too often become a refuge for troubled individuals. The same patterns keep recurring from one case to another with a frequency that should cause serious concern.
