The stories of abuse within Houston-area Catholic churches continue to be shared in the wake of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston releasing a list of 42 clergy credibly accused of child sex abuse.
“It’s very difficult to get a phone call from a 65-year-old man weeping and crying about this,” said Michael Norris, the local leader of Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP). “That’s the kind of pain that survivors are going through.”
Norris held a press conference at the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in downtown Thursday, an hour after the list was released.
His public announcement was to offer support for victims in the wake of the list being released.
“Shortly after the press conference yesterday, I got a phone call,” said Norris. “I got my first phone call, so it was quick.”
