The group SNAP — the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests — wants a meeting with the newly-elected pontiff.
The group’s midwest director in Chicago on Friday called for a new rule mandating abusive priests be turned over to the police.
“We want to begin a new dialogue with him, and with the church we want to begin a real dialogue about prevention of child sexual abuse,” Peter Isely said outside the Chicago archdiocesan headquarters.
He was flanked by a small number of men and women abused as children asking for action to be taken against priests who have mistreated children.
