NEW MEXICO
Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests
POSTED BY BARBARA DORRIS ON MAY 08, 2013
Our hearts go out to Eran Joseph McManemy. It takes real courage to take legal action that safeguards kids and exposes corruption.
Some may find it hard to believe that one boy could be sexually assaulted by three priests. But we in SNAP see cases like this far more often than most would suspect. It’s important to keep in mind that among Catholics, priests are held in very high esteem and kids are trained to trust and revere and obey them.
We call on New Mexico Catholic officials to immediately disclose the whereabouts of the two accused priests who are apparently still alive and to force them into remote, secure, independent treatment centers so they’ll be kept away from kids.
Fr. David Holley is one of America’s most notorious and prolific predator priests. We believe that perhaps dozens of Catholic officials knew of or suspected and ignored, concealed and enabled his heinous crimes over decades. Shame on every one of them. And shame on Catholic officials in New Mexico, Massachusetts and elsewhere who have done little, if anything, to aggressively seek out and comfort his dozens of victims.
