CAMDEN (NJ)
Patch
A group of sexual abuse survivors slammed the Catholic Church’s choice of New York Auxiliary Bishop Dennis Sullivan to become the new Bishop of Camden, critizing Sullivan’s record and the Archdiocese of New York’s record on alleged abuse by clergy.
“He’s a member of the completely ineffectual US bishops sex abuse panel which functions largely as window dressing for a public relations campaign masquerading as reform,” said Barbara Dorris, outreach director of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP), which has a membership of 12,000 nationwide. “He’s part of the New York archdiocese which, in recent years, has had a disappointing and deceptive track record in clergy sex abuse and cover up cases.”
“As he has repeatedly in the past, Pope Benedict is again promoting a cleric who shows no signs whatsoever of acting more responsibly with the safety of kids.”
