LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Louisville's Archbishop has responded to a new report that victims of abuse by Catholic priests will take their cases to the International Criminal Court.
SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, filed more than 20,000 pages of documents with the international court to support their charges. Local SNAP members say it's time the Vatican, including the Pope, stand up and take action.
"We cooperate fully with the law and in fact one of the principle of transparency is to cooperate with the law and so we will continue to do just that," said Louisville Archbishop Joseph Kurtz.
The Vatican says it is aware of the filing, but has no comment.
