He admits four abuse ‘mistakes’
But no wrongdoer is identified or apparently punished
“Disciplining the deceitful will stop cover ups,” group says
SNAP ‘outs’ 2 ‘credibly accused’ clerics who were left off list
And it worries that high ranking predator is in Salina diocese
They want KS bishop to disclose “others who are or were here too”

WHAT
Holding signs and childhood photos at a sidewalk news conference, clergy sex abuse victims and their supporters will
–blast Salina’s bishop for refusing to release a FULL list of child molesting clerics,
–reveal the names of two credibly accused priests who are/were in his diocese but have received virtually no attention here,
–criticize him for hiding the names of church officials who made ‘mistakes’ in four clergy sex cases,
–urge him to ‘come clean’ about any other predators (besides a prominent cardinal) who have been sent into his diocese, and
–beg those with information or suspicions about abuse to contact the Kansas Bureau of investigation.

WHERE
Outside Seven Dolors of the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic church, 731 Pierre St. (corner of S. 8th St.) in Manhattan KS (where at least 2 credibly accused abusive priests worked)
