WHAT
Holding childhood photos and signs at a sidewalk news conference, clergy sex abuse victims and their supporters will:
–blast Jeff City’s Catholic bishop for “keeping secrets” about a just-ousted priest,
–disclose that the priest worked in Columbia as well as Jeff City,
–reveal the name of another publicly accused abusive priest who worked in mid-MO, and
–expose a third publicly accused abusive clerict who worked nearby.
(Only one of them is on the Jefferson City diocese’s list of accused clerics.)
They will also prod
–diocesan and University of Missouri officials to “aggressively reach out to ex-staff, members and students” who may have been hurt by the just-ousted accused priest, and
–mid-Missouri’s Catholic bishop to do the same.
