Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests

Posted by Barbara Dorris on October 25, 2012

We are grateful that Fr. Garcia has been suspended. We are appalled that it has taken years. Wenski owes his flock and explanation and St. Agatha parishioners an apology.

Among many other questions, the most troubling is this: why does it take four lawsuits and two settlements to get Fr. Rolando Garcia ousted from his job?

This is the latest – and most egregious – example of how many bishops are violating their pledges of reform.

Archdiocesan officials settled two cases against Garcia years ago. Now, Wenski claims that no case against him is ‘credible?’ We hope Wenski’s flock will demand to know why their church officials are apparently paying money to victims who they deem “not credible.”
