PALM BEACH GARDENS (CBS12) — A West Palm Beach priest who says the church shunned him after he turned in a pedophile priest is getting a show of support.
Demonstrators came together outside the Diocese of Palm Beach in Palm Beach Gardens Tuesday afternoon.
About 10 members of Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, or SNAP, gathered on the sidewalk near the Diocese to support Father Gallagher.
A couple of them held signs at a news conference. But they did not conduct a demonstration or march.
“Instead of being praised for protecting a child victim of sexual abuse, it seems as though the Bishop and the Church are punishing the ones who are doing the right thing,” said SNAP member David Pittman.
