MISSOURI
Survivors Network of Tthose Abused by Priests
Posted by Barbara Dorris on November 14, 2012
What will Archbishop Robert Carlson do about one of his priests – accused of fondling a girl earlier this year – whose criminal trial has just been scheduled for March.
Will Carlson do what Catholic bishops almost always do – nothing? Or will he display real leadership and courage and compassion by using his vast resources help police and prosecutors build a strong case and successfully keep a child molester away from other kids?
This isn’t rocket science. It’s common sense and common decency. Through church bulletins and parish websites and archdiocesan publications, Carlson can – and should – send a simple but crucial message: “If you have any information that might help law enforcement convict Fr. Xiu “Joseph’ Jiang, please step forward right away.”
Why is this crucial?
Because child molesters rarely strike only once.
