BOSTON (CBS) — Cardinal Sean O’Malley will join seven others on a new Vatican anti-abuse commission.

O’Malley is the only American named to the Pope Francis’ “G8″ council of advisors.

On Sunday, members of SNAP: survivors network of those abused by priests held a protest against the new commission. The group blasted the panel calling it a public relations stunt.

“Every single bishop should post names of child molesting clerics,” victims say.
