ILLINOIS/WISCONSIN
Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests
POSTED BY DAVID CLOHESSY ON MAY 24, 2013
Statement by David Clohessy of St. Louis, Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (314 566 9790, SNAPclohessy@aol.com)
A Wisconsin Catholic monk, recently arrested twice and accused of trying to assault Chicago area girls, is now out of jail and living with family in Lansing IL. He’s Brother Thomas Chmura.
This Catholic cleric is dangerous. He belongs in a remote, secure treatment center run by secular professionals, not Catholic amateurs. For the safety of kids, we implore his Wisconsin supervisors to put him far away from those he’s hurt. And we hope that church officials will, at least in the short term, warn parents about exactly where he is so they can protect their kids.
