	Statement Regarding Fr. Ratigan SNAP August 12, 2011 http://www.snapnetwork.org/snap_statements/2011_statements/081111_statement_regarding_fr_ratigan.htm Statement by Mike Hunter of Kansas City, president of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (913 634 6490, mhunter_mp@accessus.net, mhunter_mp@sbcglobal.net) If Catholic officials had acted properly, this spring, Fr. Ratigan might have been in jail or would have been in a treatment center. In any case, at least one kid would have been spared being sexually exploited and victimized. Instead, Catholic officials made sure Ratigan was someplace where he would NOT be effectively monitored and kids wouldn’t really be safe – at a church facility around nuns. Then, inexplicably, this lawsuit says that Catholic officials went one step further and recently gave this obviously sexually troubled man permission to be around kids. How do we know this? Because of information, in this lawsuit, from Ratigan’s own family and other sources, including church employees.
