Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests
July 19, 2019
They start leafleting effort at & near churches
Group ‘outs’ 5 more ‘credibly accused clerics’
It’s upset because archbishop ‘refuses to act’
SNAP: ‘He should be helping KS Bureau of Investigation’
Instead, organization says, he’s ‘irresponsible & timid’
‘Archbishop: Teach your flock how to act,’ SNAP says
WHAT
After a sidewalk news conference, clergy sex abuse victims and their supporters will hand out fliers door-to-door announcing that
–they’re mounting an “aggressive, grassroots outreach campaign” in eastern Kansas to “find and help more victims, witnesses and whistleblowers” because the KC KS archbishop “won’t come clean and won’t reach out,” and
–they’ve found five more credibly accused abusive priests who worked in the archdiocese but have been left off the official archdiocesan ‘accused’ list and have attracted virtually no attention in the area (and their names will be on the fliers).
They will also
–beg victims, witnesses and whistleblowers with information or suspicions about accused priests to call law enforcement, especially the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, which is looking into clergy sex crimes and cover ups in the state, and
–prod the KC KS archbishop to post the names of ALL alleged predator priests, along with their photos, whereabouts and full work histories and teach his flock how to react with compassion and open-mindedness when their priests are accused of abuse.
