A sexual abuse group wants answers from Saginaw's new bishop.
The Suvivors' Network for those Abused by Priests or SNAP gathered in front of the Saginaw Catholic Diocese headquarters today.
According to the group, in 2005, a Philadelphia grand jury found Saginaw's new bishop Joseph Cistone was complicit in silencing a nun who tried to report an abusive priest in 1996. He also did not inform a school district that a former priest accused of abusing children was working in the district in 2002.
It was also claimed that Cistone did not take action for reports that a priest made boys strip and pricked them with pins.
SNAP also wants Cistone to disclose the whereabouts of two priests who are accused of sexual abuse.
