SNAP applauds the courage of survivors Juan Carlos Cruz, James Hamilton and Andres Murillo who rejected the proposed settlement from the Archbishop of Santiago, Chile.

We find it disappointing that church officials would suggest that the victims would agree to a statement where all responsibility was denied, both in the cover up of the sexual abuse by Fr Fernando Karadima and the negligent way the archdiocese handled the situation for decades.

These brave victims have spoken up not only to seek justice and healing for themselves, but also to protect children everywhere. There can be no safety for children in the future without a complete and honest acknowledgment of the past.
