Kansas City area advocates against sex abuse within the clergy are taking on the new Bishop at the outset of his tenure.
Here's the money line from their latest statement. . .
"We’re sad that Kansas City’s new bishop chose to basically ignore his diocese’s horrific track record on the biggest crisis his church faces.
"This is not a good sign. Ignoring abuse and cover up won’t prevent abuse and cover up. By making this choice, he’s following the same failed pattern bishops across the world have followed for decades – essentially denying, minimizing, and thus enabling more heinous crimes against children by child molesting clerics.
"Bishop James Johnston devoted “just a few minutes of a 20-minute homily to the challenge of healing the diocese,” . . . Healing, however, is secondary. Preventing abuse and exposing wrongdoers and deterring cover ups comes first. And there’s much still to be done in this regard.
"Again, we appeal to Johnston to take practical, proven steps to safeguard kids from clerics who commit abuse. We appeal to KC Catholic and citizens to insist that he do this."

I have a missionary position that Lucy Pinder can fill.
ReplyDeleteSNAP says we won't be happy until we have all the church's money and maybe not even then.
ReplyDeleteSNAP won't be happy. Ever.
ReplyDeleteThey love wallowing in misery.
At one time they had some validity. Now people look at them and roll their eyes and ignore them.
Shock value has a short shelf life.
Better check the cred on that new bishop. Bet he has some little boy stories in his past.
ReplyDeleteWhere is Byron Funkyasshouser? He is in the pedo network, he will know.
Jesus Tony! Join the Jehovah's Witness and stop your bitching. If the church needs any of your help running things I'm sure they will let you know. I would not be holding my breath waiting on a transgendered summit though!
ReplyDeleteSNAP knows he is not ignoring the "track record." It's the reason he was brought here. SNAP is only whining because he is ignoring SNAP, along with pretty much everyone else besides their lawyer partners.

ReplyDelete"1:58" forgot to include Yael Abuhockuphisass and the dike Judy Thomas. I have never ever ever been exposed to such a miserable bunch of people in my life. Most of them are liars as the way they describe the abuse could never have happened like they say. Sorry Neverhappy Asswipes Personified = SNAP
ReplyDeleteHey don't forget DAVID (got a dick stuck in both my ass and mouth) Cousins. Liar supreme. Only looking for notoriety.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought SNAP's work was laudable, though sometimes they just go overboard on their demands. But for them to take this position is just ridiculous. The man gave "just a few minutes of a 20 minute homily"....really, let's say as an example he gave 5 minutes to it, that's 25% of the homily.
ReplyDeleteSo, SNAP you want to keep your credibility then start acting like a bunch of adults and not some 7 year olds! You do good work, take the high road!!
