Some people abused by priests are angry the Archbishop has not put the Archdiocese personnel director on administrative leave.
It's more reaction to I-Team reporter Laure Quinlivan's story which aired Sunday night.
Priests accused of sexual abuse are immediately put on leave. But Archdiocese Personnel Director Vincent Frasher was allowed to take vacation.

The I-Team showed you how Frasher has had a personal relationship with the man he hired to do criminal background checks on Catholic volunteers.
The man is Alex Henties, who has a long criminal record. Henties has told people, including police, that Frasher sexually abused him when he was young and that he had sexual relations with Frasher over the years in exchange for money and jobs.

Many Catholics are angry Frasher gave a criminal access to their social security numbers.
"People should be outraged at this. They should be outraged that their identities were breached, that a criminal had access to these identities, but also that their personnel director has sexual abuse allegations," said Christy Miller, SNAP co-founder.
The Archdiocese has launched an investigation into the abuse allegations and the possibility of identity theft.
SNAP has sent a letter to Joe Deters, asking for an investigation into Vince Frasher.
The group also sent a letter to Archbishop Pilarczyk.
