NEW YORK, N.Y. -- New York's Catholics may not be in the best of hands according to The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests. The group claims the record of Archbishop Timothy Dolan in Milwaukee is littered with indifference. Bill Nash of Massachusetts, who claims he was the victim of sex abuse at a seminary, argues that when he corresponded with Dolan about his case and about the Priest that sexually abused him, Dolan showed no interest.

"Instead of removing these guys they just let them go to abuse other children, " said Nash. "If you look at the track record of Dolan from the last 5 or 6 years in Milwaukee he has not proven to anyone that he cares about protecting children."

When Dolan came to Milwaukee he faced years-old unresolved abuse cases which he promised he would face head on helping victims and keeping children safe. But [Redacted] of [Redacted], who claims he was the victim of sexual abuse in 1968 by a Fordham priest, believes that the reality is nobody really cares.

As to why the Vatican would allow this succession? Standing outside St. Patrick's Cathedral Nash responded, "Either the Pope is completely out of touch with the Archbishop's past or the Pope is just blowing smoke and does not really care about child abuse victims." He added, "they just don't seem to get it and what they also don't seem to get is that we are not going away."
