KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Members of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests canvass a street in Brookside with fliers.
The flier stated that a man that lives in Brookside is a retired priest, who was the subject of several sexual abuse claims. The priest in question, Father Michael Tierney, was never convicted of a crime.
SNAP’s David Clohessey would like priests with credible claims of sexual abuse to be permanently removed from the clergy and kept in communes in rural areas.
“We think it is just unbelievably irresponsible for church officials to exercise no control, no supervision over these potentially dangerous men,” said Clohessey.
