Michigan AG Receives Death Threats over Clergy Abuse Probe
Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests ^ | Thursday, May 9, 2019 | SNAP

We are very sad that any law enforcement officer would face threats for doing his or her job and we are distressed that the Michigan attorney general has suffered in this way.

We hope Michigan's bishops quickly and harshly condemn this hatred. Violence is never the answer.

For decades, police and prosecutors who pursued clerics who commit and conceal child sex crimes have been stonewalled, and Church officials have contributed to the unhealthy atmosphere that leads to threats of violence. While the Church hierarchy often postures as being the victims of governmental overreach, the reality is that they were often treated with too much deference in the past.

AG Nessel has been steadfast and strong in pursuit of the truth in Michigan. Such dedication should be met with thanks, not threats.

Clericalism is a mental illness. For centuries the wretched of the earth have used their collars and chasubles to get a pass on corruption and abuse. Thanks

All this from one Tweet without further details. I’m curious who did it and why. It’s man bites dog.

Without discussing the actual abuse scandals,there is a re-energized effort to destroy the Catholic Church by AG’s,media and law Firms across the nation going into this election cycle. It is very prevalent in NJ and PA.

It looks to me like the Catholic Church is doing a bang up job of destroying itself all on its own.

The Catholic Church has always been corrupt. Why should today be any different?

I do not believe her. She is a Catholic-hating lesbian.
