MILWAUKEE – As Milwaukee’s Archdiocese releases 6,000-plus pages of documents about abuse by its priests, Catholics and a group which represents abuse victims are sounding off.
“This is a shocking and stunning document, how they have concealed and moved not only predator priests, but all the money,” said Peter Isely of SNAP, or Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests.
SNAP urges all Catholics to read all 6,000 pages.
“I think every Catholic in this Archdiocese should read this carefully because what it’s going to show is that they’ve been lied to,” said John Pilmaier, SNAP Wisconsin Director.
Jeffrey Anderson is an attorney who represents most of the 500-plus victims who have filed sex abuse claims against the church.
“In order for the future to be safe, it is there and our view the past has to be known. It has to be disclosed. It has to be exposed,” said Anderson.
