ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – It was a legacy riddled with corruption.
Now an advocacy group hopes the death of former New Mexico Archbishop Robert Sanchez will provide healing for those still living with hidden secrets.
The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests or SNAP hopes recent media coverage of the archbishop’s death will give victims abused by priests under his watch the courage to come forward.
“I’ve spoken to hundreds of victims, and what they tell me is it’s like living their abuse all over again,” said Mike Knellinger New Mexico’s SNAP leader. “The ones that haven’t come to terms with it and come forward to confront it, are the ones that have a particularly difficult problem. ”
