WHAT
Holding signs and childhood photos at a sidewalk news conference, survivors of abuse by nuns and priests will prod the largest US nuns’ group to
–let adults sexually abused by nuns speak at their conference,
–mount an ‘aggressive outreach drive’ to find and help others violated by nuns, and
–post names of credibly accused child molesting nuns on its website.
They will also
–urge the roughly 17 US attorneys general who are investigating clergy sex crimes and cover ups to include nuns and their victims in these probes and
–beg “anyone who may have seen, suspected or suffered” wrongdoing by nuns to “come forward, start healing, protect others and call law enforcement.”
