ST. LOUIS (MO)
Surviviors Network of those Abused by Priests
March 28, 2019
Victims ‘out’ five more publicly accused priests
“Bishop’s list is deceptive and incomplete,” they say
In surprising move, they praise prelate for his “more inclusive list”
Braxton, unlike most of his peers, exposes those who prey on adults
SNAP: “But alleged abusers’ photos & whereabouts should be added”
WHAT
Holding signs and childhood photos at a sidewalk news conference, clergy sex abuse victims and their supporters will disclose – and write on the sidewalk with chalk – the names of five more publicly accused priests who are or were in the Belleville diocese but have essentially been ‘under the radar,’ attracting attention elsewhere but not in Illinois.
They will also praise Belleville’s bishop for including clerics who have assaulted adults on his ‘accused’ list-a move most bishops do not make.
And they’ll prod Belleville Catholic officials to
–reveal the names of ALL proven, admitted and ‘credibly accused’ predator priests,
–permanently and prominently post their photos, whereabouts and work histories on church websites, and
–‘aggressively reach out’ to anyone who may have been hurt by church staff.
