Victims sexually abused by priests name Ghana’s Turkson among 12 blacklisted cardinals ahead of Pope election
A group made up of victims abused by Catholic priests has listed Ghana’s Cardinal Peter Appiah Turkson among 12 worst cardinals who are likely to become the next Pope.
According to the Chicago-based Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP), they listed the 12 cardinals based on their approach to handling child sex abuse claims.
“The following twelve papal candidates are the ones that we are most worried about becoming the next pope,” said SNAP on March 5, 2013.
These twelve were chosen based exclusively on their actions and/or public comments about child sex abuse and cover up in the church, it added.
