CHICAGO (CBS) — A few members of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, demonstrated in front of Holy Name Cathedral – praising Cardinal George but asking him to do more.

The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests is pleased Cardinal George intervened in a Joliet case of alleged abuse by a priest.

And they handed out fliers commending the cardinal.

But at the same time – their flier and their members – asked parishioners to ask the cardinal for more: to release more files on abusive priests.

“He said he was going to do it in 2008 and he hadn’t had time to do it yet. So we’re trying to encourage people to encourage him.”
