The process of rediscovery will be discussed through the recent re-emergence of children who have been sexually abused by clerics. The first step in the process was when the cases were brought to the attention of the media by a group of adults who were molested by a priest when they were young. This caused other victims from other priests to step out and make the public aware of their similar victimization. Activists and other groups undertook the campaign to get the priests removed and to increase public awareness and education. The next stage in the process is when the group starts to get closer to their goals. This stage occurred when various religious groups developed their own committees to examine child sexual victimization within their own religious organizations. Other clerics were charged with sex crimes against children and some organizations developed programs to help the victims. Next the emergence of opposition or resistance to further changes occurs. With the discovered group of child victims by clerics, opposition came from higher up as top officials within the various religious organizations argued against this type of crime being systemic problem within their organizations. Some organizations settled out of court with monetary damages being paid to the victims without publicizing any wrongdoing. Others argued the charges were unfair and could have been induced through false memory syndrome.
