Today's news vindicates the courageous, long-suffering and heroic men
who have lived for decades with deep pain caused by Maciel's crimes.CONTACT
David Clohessy of St. Louis, SNAP National Director (314) 566 9790 cell
We cannot thank them enough for their persistence in exposing this shrewd,
dangerous predator.
It's an especially meaningful vindication because the Legion has long
mounted a mean-spirited and duplicitous vilification campaign against
these brave, wounded men that has been relentless and hurtful.
Still, we hope Vatican official will go further and remove Maciel from
the priesthood. It's hard to imagine a single act that would more strongly
show that child sex crimes within the church will not be tolerated. Voluntary
restrictions on Maciel will, to some, seem 'too little, too late.'
