The Children of Catholic Priests
'The children of priests are the sleeping giant that the Catholic Church prays will never fully awaken.
In the Western world, sexual coercion is increasingly being recognised as a criminal offence. Catholic church silencing is an immoral and abusive act of violence. There has been insufficient in-depth investigation into the children of priests and the role that the church and its agents play in controlling us.'

SNAP is the largest, oldest and most active self-help group for clergy sex abuse victims. It has more than 25,000 members and support groups meeting in over 60 cities across the world - it is highly regarded.
The following association links do not infer a recommendation of the organization, I have however had positive experiences with the Mothers of the Children of Priests & Good Tidings and believe in the sincerity and lived-experience of the operators.
