Yes the Catholic Church had a problem and did some bad things.

But that was all in the past.

Right?

Wrong.

Here's what life is like for a survivor in St. Louis as of July 1, 2019.

This threat to reveal confidential information, made by Sandra Price of the Office of Child and Youth Protection of @archstl really f'd me up.

Does that mean they're going to release info from my medical records?

Therapy sessions?@AishaS @NassimBnchabane could u please ask? pic.twitter.com/7vAOhYyKVl

I'm standing vigil again in front of the Cathedral Basilica before the ordination mass, wondering if @abp_carlson will keep his promise and acknowledge me.

This time.

And, when I get home, I notice in one of my pics this woman GLARING at me.

And saying it with her eyes/arms.

This (Very) Present Crisis

I use my Twitter handle @ivandoesnot to keep people up to date about my current efforts to get help from the Archdiocese of St. Louis, which I term...

• The Abuse of the Abused

Here are some of my more recent status updates.

So @archstl has retaliated for my appearance on the Dave Glover Show and my exposing their Smear Campaign.

And, no, I didn't name any survivors.

I redacted the names of all known survivors.

And Price "forgets" to mention their Stonewalling of me.https://t.co/CBHmO6r8GM pic.twitter.com/zfNOtVcdpF

I have multiple e-mails from Sandra Price of ArchStL that establish how readily they will lie.

As she admitted and apologized for a lie when I met with her and Abp Carlson.

Dear @abp_carlson

One week ago Sandra Price of @archstl threatened me with...

"you waive your right to confidentiality"

I'm not sure what that means.

Is she threatening to reveal information — from medical records or therapy notes — gained as a result of my 2015 lawsuit?

MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT

What's it like to ask for help from the Archdiocese of St. Louis?

I recorded my 3/26/19 meeting with Archbishop Carlson.

PDF https://t.co/h5MutNb5SA

While AC said he wanted to meet again, Sandra Price won't return my e-mails.

— Chris O'Leary | Survivor (@IvanDOesnot) June 27, 2019

On March 26, 2019 I asked @abp_carlson of @archstl to tell the people of St. Louis the truth.https://t.co/dEqXgYMFq4

If only so that people will stop shunning me.

10 weeks later, he hasn't.

And now Sandra Price won't even respond to my e-mails.

She just ignores me. pic.twitter.com/PCcmYdJx0c

THE CONTINUING CRISIS

People, especially Catholics, want the sex abuse crisis to be over.

For people to just move on.

That's understandable, but here's why that MUST NOT happen.

First, @ArchStL refuses to tell the people of St. Louis the truth.

Continues to lie. pic.twitter.com/Q4D4DGQIm2

— Chris O'Leary | Survivor (@IvanDOesnot) June 3, 2019

On March 26, 2019 I explained to @abp_carlson of ArchStL, in person, that his archdiocese had lied to the people of St. Louis about my case and me.

They put out a statement that contradicted what Sandra Price told me privately in an e-mail a few weeks prior.

It Happened. pic.twitter.com/ENIfb0OO48

— Chris O'Leary | Survivor (@IvanDOesnot) June 3, 2019

Two months later, and despite my asking him IN PERSON, neither @abp_carlson nor @archstl has issued the "clarifying" statement that I requested that would explain to the people of ArchStL that what they were told wasn't accurate.

And, presumably, won't.

Can't?

— Chris O'Leary | Survivor (@IvanDOesnot) June 3, 2019

The Catholic Church's sexual abuse crisis isn't just about abuse.

It's also about hypocrisy.

Which shows no sign of abating.

And they show no sign of heeding Matthew 7:5, which seems it may have been spoken for this moment.

Yesterday I went down to the Cathedral Basilica for the @archstl ordination mass and captured a photo that explains so much. pic.twitter.com/fDmgQ8V6y1

— Chris O'Leary | Survivor (@IvanDOesnot) May 26, 2019

What's it like to be a survivor?

In @ArchStL at least?

My reception this morning as I stood out in front of the Cathedral Basilica.

And @abp_carlson saw me but didn't come over to me as he said he would.

Earlier today I went to the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis to see if it's true that ArchStL is encouraging people to give to the ACA and promising to not help survivors.

It is.

"Share His good gifts with all"

Except survivors. pic.twitter.com/jaAdL7bgBX

This is the juxtaposition that I find so horrible.

So triggering.

So callous.

And, before someone asks, I had no idea what I was walking into as I got out of my care as it was parked on Lindell.

I also didn't know they would line up outside.

I just wanted to stand in front of the Cathedral Basilica and let them know I'm here and I'm not going away. pic.twitter.com/8DZ3Qw0mzX

I went to the Cathedral Basilica in St. Louis Friday to make sure they remembered the survivors during their mass of Reparation — I wasn't informed or invited — and, while the laypeople were great, this was the response of the priests. pic.twitter.com/TVydLGhCPB
