KPRC 2 Investigates found 1 priest living around the corner from a school
A year ago, there was hope: justice for the victims of clergy sexual abuse.
“We want to substantiate what those young people who have suffered, the victims, the survivors, that’s what today is all about,” said Daniel Cardinal DiNardo, Archbishop of Galveston-Houston on Jan. 31, 2019 in an interview with KPRC 2.
But one year later, what has come of these revelations that accused over 40 priests from the Archdiocese of an unthinkable act?
Where is the transparency?
“We at SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests) are calling for true transparency, not the opaque transparency of a stained glass window from a church in denial,” said Eduardo Lopez de Casas, co-leader of SNAP Houston and clergy abuse victim.
Lopez de Casas grew up in church, rarely missing a Sunday Mass even in his darkest times.
“I was abused over 40 years ago, and I never left the church,” Lopez de Casas said.
