what do u think Catholic Charities another major scandal for attempting to cover up the sexual abuse of an 8-year-old boy ?The CEO/president of Catholic Charities Galveston-Houston has announced plans to resign after more than six years at the helm of the nonprofit organization. The organization confirmed the departure of Bonna Kol in a statement, but did not respond to questions about whether her resignation was connected to the fallout from a sexual abuse scandal at St. Michael's Home for Children. "Bonna has made many contributions to the success of Catholic Charities, and her leadership will be missed," Catholic Charities of Galveston-Houston said in a statement. Kol, 44, issued a statement on Tuesday saying that Catholic Charities' total assets and operating budget more than doubled during her tenure. She said she "will continue to support the organization as it moves forward." She added the she plans to spend time with her family and take an extended trip to Asia. Kol's resignation comes about four months after the organization found itself at the center of a major scandal for attempting to cover up the sexual abuse of an 8-year-old boy at one of its shelters for immigrant children. The federal Office of Refugee Resettlement issued a scathing report that found the organization's senior management "deliberately misled" federal officials about a July 1 sexual assault involving children at one of the shelters run through its St. Michael's Home for Children. http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Catholic-Charities-CEO-resigns-months-after-sex-3104834.php...
