Accused KC Catholic priest quickly restored to ministry; SNAP responds

MISSOURI
Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests

We’re disappointed that Fr. Matt Bartulica has been so quickly restored to his job despite allegations of sexual misconduct or abuse. How thorough could an alleged church “investigation” be if it just took a couple of weeks?

We hope that anyone who may have been hurt by Fr. Bartulica doesn’t feel hurt and betrayed again by Bishop Finn’s premature move.

We hope that other current and former Catholic employees and members will do what Bishop Finn refuses to do – beg anyone with information or suspicions about child sex crimes – by Bartulica or any clerics – to call police immediately.
