ST. LOUIS (MO)
Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests
SNAP: MO attorney general is moving too slowly
Group wants a preliminary report like the Illinois one
It also warns that a serial predator priest may be paroled
Self help organization wants archbishop to ‘sound the alarm’
WHAT
On the six month anniversary of the Missouri Attorney General’s (AG) probe into clergy sex abuse, victims and their supporters will prod the AG to
—give a ‘preliminary report on his work (like the IL AG did),
—push bishops to post accused clerics’ names (like the IL AG did),
—sit down with experts who are knowledgeable about the abuse crisis and
—work harder to bring victims, witnesses and whistleblowers forward, using his bully pulpit and public service announcements.
Holding signs and childhood photos at a sidewalk news conference, they will also:
–disclose that a notorious predator priest, who molested in St. Louis, is up for parole,
–beg his victims and their families to write authorities urging he be kept locked up, and
–urge St. Louis Catholic officials to tell their flock about the upcoming parole hearing
WHEN
