OREGON
Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests
Posted by David Clohessy on August 14, 2012
In the early 1990s, Catholic bishops claim, seminaries began to better screen and train potential priests about sexual difficulties. The charges against Fr. Angel Perez and dozens of other young clerics prove that those bishops’ claims are exaggerated and those programs are problematic.
He worked in Astoria, Oregon City, Corvallis, Grants Pass and Coos Bay – a fairly high number of churches in a relatively short time.
Let’s hope that every person who has any information or suspicions that could shed light on these allegations will find the courage and strength to call police so that the full truth might become clear.
If you have knowledge or suspicions – however old, small or seemingly insignificant – about clergy sex crimes, it’s your moral and civic duty to call police. Please summon the courage to do what’s right, call law enforcement and hopefully prevent more devastated lives.
