The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests is calling out Pope Francis and Archbishop Savio Hon Tai Fai to act. In a release from SNAP western regional director Joelle Casteix, she states “Pope Francis has promised quick action to remove and punish clerics – including bishops – who have abused children or covered up abuse. Now is the time.”

SNAP also commends the bravery from each of the victims, most recently with Roland Sondia, who today publicly accused Archbishop Anthony Apuron of molesting him when he was 15 years old.
