KENTUCKY
Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests
For immediate release: Friday, May 1
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 new child sex abuse and cover up lawsuit has been filed against a priest, a nun and the Louisville archdiocese.
[WCHS]
We urge Archbishop Kurtz to aggressively seek out others who were hurt by Fr. James R. Schook or any of the 63 other current or former Louisville area Catholic clerics who have been publicly accused as child predators. (See BishopAccountability.org)
That’s the least Kurtz can do at this point. (After all, Louisville Catholic officials recruited, educated, hired, trained, shielded and transferred this priest.)
We applaud these brave men who are seeking justice and exposing wrongdoing. We hope this litigation will bring them healing and closure.
We urge every single person who saw, suspected or suffered crimes by this priest or nun to come forward, get help, call police, expose wrongdoers, protect kids and start healing.
