Several days ago, clergy sex abuse victims disclosed that Boston’s Cardinal Sean O’Malley is putting an accused and suspended criminal priest secretly back in parishes without warning anyone.
In 2005, Fr. Jerome Gillespie was charged with four crimes after he solicited oral sex from a mother and her 12 year old child. Some of the charges were dropped though he essentially reached an Alford-type plea with prosecutors and for two years, a judge prohibited Gillespie from having contact with children.

SNAP maintains that O’Malley is doing what bishops have done for decades (and still do): quietly moving an almost certain sex offender to unsuspecting parishes without warning, supposedly relying on the advice of therapists, using alleged alcohol to excuse his criminal acts while alerting neither the public nor the parishioners, and disclosing all this only after being confronted by the news media.

 "it's about me"
By Tim Fischer
My name is Tim Fischer. I was raped by a Catholic priest when I was 11. His name was Fr. Norman H Christian. My site will keep track of the progress. The Blog holds my story.

SNAP Midwest is the midwest area chapter of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests . We are a self-help, non-profit organization composed of those who were sexually abused by spiritual leaders (priests, brothers, nuns, ministers, elders, teachers, etc.) Members have found hope, healing and empowerment by joining with other survivors. Please note that having experienced abuse by a spiritual leader is not a requirement for participation in SNAP Midwest activities. We welcome victims of sexual abuse and their allies to join us as well. The date of our next meeting is Thursday May 15th from 6:30pm-8:30pm.
