Bishop Frank Caggiano has agreed to meet with representatives of national and local victim support groups who Wednesday called for him to hire an outside firm to investigate two priests who have been accused in the past of sex abuse — including a former prominent Greenwich pastor has who admitted he hid more than 40 years of abuse complaints.
But Barbara Blaine, president of the Chicago-based Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, said although she is willing to meet with Caggiano, she would prefer to do so after he agrees to the investigation.
“History has shown that meetings don’t always bear fruit, but actions speak louder than words,” Blaine said.
It would be the first time that a bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Bridgeport agreed to meet with SNAP.
