Church says spokeswoman Morrissey has left the job
Donna M. Morrissey, who served as the public face of the Archdiocese of Boston throughout the clergy sexual abuse crisis, has left her job as spokeswoman for the church. Morrissey, who was brought in to improve the church's public relations in January 2001, left the archdiocese on April 28, a spokesman for the archdiocese said yesterday. Her tenure was dominated by the worst public-relations crisis in the history of the church, as the archdiocese struggled to explain why it had failed to remove scores of abusive priests from ministry.
Morrissey's performance during the church crisis was hotly debated by public-relations professionals and journalists. Many criticized her initial decision not to respond to questions from the Globe's Spotlight Team. But others noted the extraordinary difficulty of representing an institution with a tradition of secrecy amid a vast and historic scandal. And she won high marks from some for her poise on television. Morrissey, 34, had been hired by Cardinal Bernard F. Law as part of the church's effort to improve its coverage by the news media. She was the only woman who was not a nun serving in the cabinet of Law and his interim replacement as head of the archdiocese, Bishop Richard G. Lennon.
