Protesters held signs and childhood photos in a demonstration to the Seattle archdiocese on Monday.

Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests said they want abuse documents disclosed.

The Archdiocese of Seattle released a list of clergy child sex abusers in January. It listed dozens of people who served from 1923 to 2008: 30 archdiocesans, 16 religious priests, 14 religious brothers, one religious sister, two deacons and 14 priests from other dioceses.

Seattle Archbishop J. Peter Sartain apologized on behalf of those who abused minors in a news release after the list was released.

“I will continue to pray for all survivors of sexual abuse, and deeply regret that vulnerable individuals in the church’s care have been harmed,” Sartain wrote.

In a news release to KIRO 7 about Monday’s planned protest, SNAP said it wants Sartain to add four more priests to his list. The group also believes that abusive nuns, seminarians and lay staff should be added.
