[3] Although he once declared, "I fear for a society which deplores but does little or nothing to address the horrible daily realities which many of our children face",[3] Rodimer admitted his "own inadequacy" in failing to prevent at least four of his clerical colleagues, with whom he shared a Long Island beach house, from committing sexual abuse.
