MICHIGAN
Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests
For immediate release: Thursday, Jan. 21
Statement by Statement by Barbara Blaine of Chicago, SNAP president (312-399-4747, bblaine@snapnetwork.org)
Accused Archbishop John Nienstedt is leaving his Battle Creek Michigan post. But Catholic officials in Rome, Kalamazoo and St. Paul should have ordered him to leave. For the safety of the parishioners and the public, he should not ever be put back into ministry. Doing so would be a risky, callous move that would reward and encourage more recklessness and deceit.
[MLive]
We hope every single person who saw, suspected or suffered crimes, misdeeds or cover ups by Nienstedt or other church officials will find the strength to call police, expose wrongdoers and protect kids.
