SNAP is wrong to discourage victims from meeting the pope | National Catholic Reporter
SNAP is wrong to discourage victims from meeting the pope | National Catholic Reporter
I have my reservations about victims/survivors meeting the Pope. However if they way they were CHOSEN changed I'd be a happier woman...
a sharing of power, a openness and transparency and no secrets.
I believe such a meeting could be beneficial but I do not like any such meeting billed as a 'healing' event which posits the victims as NEEDING HEALING FROM THE POPE! This is patronising and pathologising.
If the meeting is in the full control of the Vatican I would not be happy. I'd want to know that MY agenda was being heard and facilitated.

- Open invitation to all victim groups to send survivors...not just carefully chosen, vetted, safe, survivors!
- No gag clauses
- meeting openly attended by journalists who can be given some advice on how to report victims stories/views in safety...but no gag clauses for journalists.
- Survivors set the agenda, order of meeting and how meeting takes place. the POWER must reside with the victims
a sharing of power, a openness and transparency and no secrets.

We can revel in our victimhood...one statement from a Bishop that puts me right off this programme from the start. To even SUGGEST anyone 'revels in their victimhood' means they don't get it!

Don't go! I really worry about this. Who are the 'faith counsellors'? Who trained them? what do they know about abuse and why is the Church even ASKING victims to 'forgive the Church?'
