Bowling Green “cradle Catholic” worries about abuse
Clergy sex victims enthusiastically endorse his effort

SNAP: Local church official leave some alleged predators off
Group divulges ‘two credibly accused’ priests who worked here
SNAP: “They’re ‘under the radar’ & may have hurt local kids too”
“Victims, witnesses should call KY state politicians,” group says
WHAT
Holding signs and childhood photos at a sidewalk news conference, two Kentucky men and a nationally known clergy sex abuse victims will:
–disclose that a disillusioned Bowling Green Catholic is filing a rare, ten page formal complaint about Owensboro’s bishop with the Vatican,
–disclose for the first time that at least two credibly accused predator priests worked in the Owensboro area are but have attracted no public attention here and are NOT on the diocese’s official ‘credibly accused’ list.
They will also prod
–Owensboro’s Catholic bishop to add these names to his “accused” clergy list, and
–anyone who saw, suspected or suffered clergy sex crimes or cover ups in Kentucky to contact lawmakers about conducting a statewide investigation into this crisis.
