Stonewalling.
That's a term you will hear from survivors who try to get help
from the Catholic Church.
But what does that mean?
Stonewalling
Why do we get so frustrated?
Just Go Away
That's the chief message I received from the Archdiocese of St.
Louis.
March 26, 2019 Meeting
On March 26, 2019, I met with Archbishop
Robert Carlson of the Archdiocese of St. Louis.
At the end of that meeting, +Carlson offered
to meet with me again.
I spent three months e-mailing my contact, over and over and over and over
again.
And, except to my first e-mail, she never replied.
And worse.

Hi Chris,
I have not had the opportunity to talk with Archbishop
Carlson yet. I will pass your request along although I do think it
will be difficult to schedule another meeting so soon after you just
talked with him. Please let me know what you would like to talk
with him about and I will make sure he is informed.

Vos Estis in Effect
One thing to note, from this point forward,
is the date. These e-mails were sent AFTER the June 1, 2019
effective date of the Pope's new mandate Vos estis lux mundi,
making each a violation of Vos estis.

Appointment to Talk to Archbishop Carlson
FROM: me
TO: sandraprice@archstl.org
Let me know when I could talk again to
Archbishop Carlson.
In part, I wanted to know when he's planning on
letting the people of St. Louis that I didn't lie to ArchStL.
As I
said, NOBODY from MQP will talk to me, and my kids think I'm lying
and treat me with suspicion.
Thanks!

Epilogue
I have yet to get a second meeting with
Archbishop Carlson. And he has yet to "clarify" what has been said
about me.
And worse.
