RHODE ISLAND
Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests
For immediate release: Thursday, March 12
Statement by David Clohessy of St. Louis, Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests ( 314 566 9790, SNAPclohessy@aol.com , davidgclohessy@gmail.com )
We’re worried that a controversial, secretive Catholic group will open a boarding school in Rhode Island.
The Legion of Christ is a scandal-ridden and cult-like Catholic religious order. It has been racked with sexual and financial controversies. We see little evidence that it has reformed in any real way in recent years.
For the safety of youngsters, we urge Rhode Island citizens and Catholics to avoid this extreme group.
For more information about the Legion, see our website and/or BishopAccountability.org
