	Victims Blast Ft. Wayne Catholic Officials By Barbara Dorris Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests December 7, 2011 http://www.snapnetwork.org/victims_blast_ft_wayne_catholic_officials We are saddened that the Fort Wayne – South Bend Diocese did not disclose all the information they had regarding Fr. Thomas Lombardi’s crimes when they announced his removal. In an effort to live up to their pledge to be open and honest about clergy sex cases, the Diocese should have revealed when and where the abuse took place. We urge Bishop Rhoades to personally visit every parish where this predator worked and to beg other victims or witnesses to come forward and report what they saw. We also call on the Bishop to release the information regarding the specifics of the abuse that he is currently withholding from his parishioners. Silence is a predator’s best weapon, and by not coming forward with all the details, victims who may be suffering in silence may continue to feel alone and helpless.
