ST. LOUIS (MO)
Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests
August 21, 2019
They name 5 accused priests who were in Eastern KS
SNAP blast KS Catholic archbishop for “still hiding them”
Prelate belatedly posted a list of 22 alleged abusive priests
But his list is “incomplete” and “leaves kids at risk” group says
SNAP: “Church staff should tell KBI what they know about crimes”
WHAT:
As part of a new ‘outreach’ campaign, abuse victims and their supporters will
–disclose a list of five credibly accused child molesting clerics who worked in/near Topeka but have virtually gotten no public or press attention here, and
–hand out fliers door-to-door seeking “anyone who may have seen, suspected or suffered crimes” by any of these clerics or others who worked in the Topeka area.
And they’ll urge Kansas City’s archbishop to
—explain why these names were left off his “accused” list,
—add the clerics’ names (along with photos, whereabouts and work histories of all publicly accused clerics) to his website, and
—include the identities of ALL who have sexually abused (including nuns, bishops, brothers, seminarians and priests).
They will also urge
—all Kansas bishops to post similar lists of accused clerics, and
—all current and former church-goers and staff to report known/suspected abuses and cover ups to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.
VISUALS: The group will hold signs and childhood photos before leafleting.
