SEATTLE — Two weeks ago the Seattle Catholic Archdiocese posted a list of 77 clergy members who are deemed by the church to be abusers of children. A victims group claims that predator list is incomplete.
“I’m a Catholic through and through,” said Steve Snider, “but I can’t go to church. I tried.”
Snider still has his faith, but says he has lost his church. He was one of the handful of people standing outside of St James Thursday.
They are all members of SNAP, the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests, a support group for people who have been sexually abused in religious settings.
“When they’re not being a 100 percent truthful and they’re still trying to hide, it feels like we’re being molested all over again,” said Snider.
