Demonstrators with the Survivors Network for those Abused by Priests showed up outside the offices of the Catholic Diocese of Erie. ‘I am quite surprised,’ organizer says of bishop’s visit.
Judy Jones has been organizing protests for the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests for 16 years.
The St. Louis resident, who helps direct S.N.A.P.’s Midwest operations, has been turned away by bishops.
She has dropped off letters at their chanceries, or administrative offices.
She has gone up against diocesan representatives.
But she has never talked to a bishop, let alone met one.
That changed on Tuesday, when Jones and five other protesters with S.N.A.P. showed up in the parking lot at St. Mark Catholic Center, the chancery for the Catholic Diocese of Erie.
