Dozens gathered Monday night to express outrage over a statement made in a 2011 deposition by the head of the Syracuse Roman Catholic Diocese in a priest sex abuse case. Our Elizabeth Jeneault introduces us to victims who spoke at the event and why they and others say it's time for Bishop Robert Cunningham to step down.

FAYETTEVILLE, N.Y. -- Bishop Robert Cunningham stated, "the boy is culpable," when asked in a 2011 deposition whether, in the eyes of the church, a child molested by a priest has committed a sin.

"Those words were chosen specifically and I think they were incredibly revealing and disgusting and harmful," said Kevin Braney, a survivor.

Child abuse victims said they found out about the statement after talking with a variety of people who've come forward about their abuse.

"I'm thinking, my God, I was a 10-year-old boy," said Charles Bailey Jr. "How could I have any culpability when a 40-year-old man is raping me?"

While Cunningham recently sent out a letter saying children are not responsible for their abuse and priests or others who abuse them is wrong, many aren't convinced. That's why for the safety of parishioners, many are arguing he should step down.

"Calling for someone's public resignation is a tragic place for me to be in and the others who are here with me tonight," said Braney. "As tragic as that it is, what's more tragic is what's happening to kids and to families."

Supporters who listened to the victim's stories Monday night say they're behind them and plan to sign the petition calling for Cunningham's resignation.

"My daughter's being confirmed this year and that concerns me, too, because how I can bring her to a church if that's what it's going to be and I feel like it's a time for it to truly be addressed," said Renee Joseph.

Organizers of Monday night's event plan to deliver that petition to Pope Francis when he visits New York City in two weeks.
