Statement by David Clohessy of St. Louis, Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests ( 314-566-9790 cell, SNAPclohessy@aol.com )
Only a quarter of respondents in a new poll say Pope Francis’ is doing enough about the Catholic Church’s child sex abuse crisis.
The survey of citizens – Catholic and non-Catholic – was taken in USA, Canada and the UK.
For months, we’ve been saying that Pope Francis is making progress on church finances and governance, but he’s done nothing – literally nothing – that protects a single child, exposes a single predator or prevents a single cover up. Sadly, that remains true even as the pontiff marks his first full year on the job.
