COLUMBUS, Ohio – The group SNAP, Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, is calling on the Catholic Diocese of Columbus to hold a public meeting, and to discuss the arrest of former seminary student, Joel Wright.
The Columbus diocese has repeatedly told 10TV it has no affiliation whatsoever with Wright.
Homeland Security says in January, the 23-year old tried to travel to Mexico to buy three girls, ages 1, 2, and 3, for sex.
Wright was sponsored by another diocese, the Steubenville Catholic Diocese, to study to be a priest at the Pontifical College Josephinum in Columbus.
On Tuesday, SNAP urged Bishop Frederick Campbell to talk openly to Columbus parishioners about this case.
“When they’re sitting back and saying nothing and doing nothing,” SNAP member Judy Jones said.
Jones wants to know why Wright wasn’t exposed sooner?
