An open letter in the form of an online petition asks Seattle
Archbishop J. Peter Sartain to address what it charges is the
archdiocese's "incomplete response" to the "clergy abuse crisis."
Posted late Sunday, June 5, the petition acknowledges the archbishop's "deep concern for abuse victims" and "willingness to extend pastoral care to them," but claims "more is needed if we are to truly protect our youth, heal the wounds caused by this horrific evil, and address the continued alienation of Catholics from their Church."
