Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests
Posted by Barbara Dorris on February 13, 2012
We are members of a support group called SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAPnetwork.org). Our mission is to heal the wounded and protect the vulnerable.
The Marianists are a St. Louis-based Catholic religious order that runs, and has run, parochial high schools like Vianney, Chaminade, St. Mary’s and McBride (now closed).
A Marianist cleric was accused of molesting a teenage girl here. Her allegation was deemed “credible” by church authorities. Those church officials say they’ve found evidence that Miller had perpetrated this same behavior with at least two other teenagers.
Where’s the alleged offender now? He’s working for the Marianists in Rome. These Catholic officials deliberately and quietly move a credibly accused sex offender into the literal and figurative center of Catholicism, where hundreds of thousands of unsuspecting devout believers go every year.
