	As Pope Is Honored in Rome, Victims outside Churches in 70 Cities, 7 Countries Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests April 30, 2011 http://www.snapnetwork.org/snap_press_releases/2011_press_releases/043011_as_pope_is_honored_in_rome_victims_outside_churches_in_70_cities_7_countries.htm WHAT: As a deceased Pope is honored by thousands in Rome, hundreds of clergy sex abuse victims and their supporters will hand out fliers to church-goers in seven countries and 70 cities, urging them to sign a pledge to report suspicions of child sex abuse to secular authorities. WHEN: Saturday, Apr 30 and Sunday, May 1, (Times listed with each City Below) WHERE: Address listed with each City below WHO: At least Two-three clergy sex abuse victims (at each event) who belong to a Chicago-based international support group called SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAPnetwork.org) DETAILS While Catholics throng in Rome celebrating Pope John Paul II's latest step toward sainthood, hundreds of child sex abuse victims will leaflet outside churches in seven countries and 70 cites. They'll ask congregants to sign this pledge: "I will watch out for all the children in my church as if they were my own and I will immediately report known or suspected abuse to the authorities, no matter when it occurred." It's available on line at www.pledgetoprotectkids.org The group calls the fast-tracking of pontiff's sainthood "a callous PR juggernaut honoring the man who presided over much of the on-going crisis." The events are designed to "help keep kids safer and redirect some people's energies into stopping child sex crimes and cover ups" "and "give upset parishioners, concerned parents and caring victims a productive outlet this weekend for both their outrage and their compassion." SNAP says that Vatican officials are "deepening the suffering of so many, by elevating a man who did almost nothing to stop bishops from ignoring and concealing heinous crimes." A full list of the cities and times of the leafleting events are posted at SNAPnetwork.org. The countries include: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Ecuador, France, Netherlands, and the USA. The American states include: CA, CO, CT, DE, FL, ID, IL, IN, KY, MA, MI, MO, NC, NJ, NY, OH, PA, TX, VA, WA, WI, WV.
