To show that the church’s abuse and cover up crisis is “much more widespread than anyone realizes,” SNAP is making available its first-ever, on-line virtual “Predator Priest Tour” of St. Louis’ central corridor. It exposes the names and photos of dozens of child molesting clerics and where they work/ed and live/d.

SNAP is inviting the hundreds of US bishops, who are meeting this week at the Hyatt, to watch it and urging them to make similar information available to their own parishioners. And SNAP is urging St. Louisans to watch it and circulate it, especially to local Catholics.

Each of the nearly 50 clerics have been publicly accused of abuse through criminal prosecutions, civil lawsuits, church disclosures, financial settlements, or mainstream news reports. About ten of the clerics, who were sent here from elsewhere, have never been exposed as having been in St. Louis.

The tour includes almost 20 accused predators from a dozen states (one from MI, WV, KS, WA, IN, NY, PA, IA, CT and two or more from IL, WI, and MN).
