As
Catholics enter and leave mass, sex abuse victims will hand leaflets to
them. The fliers ask parishioners to urge Savannah’s bishop:--permanently
post on church websites the names of all predator priests who have
worked or lived – or now work or live – in the diocese, and --spread
the word about a new Georgia law that makes kids safer by enabling
child sex abuse victims to file civil lawsuits against “those who commit
or conceal sexual violence.”
They
will also prod “anyone who saw, suspected or suffered child sex crimes
or cover ups” in any institution to “speak up, expose wrongdoers and
protect kids” by calling secular authorities “like police, prosecutors”
or “independent sources of help like therapists and support groups,” not
church officials.
