Catholic Whistleblowers

The Network

Catholic Whistleblowers is a network of current and former priests, women religious, brothers, deacons, and laypersons who actively support survivors of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church.

Many of us have reported instances of sexual abuse to civil or church authorities, and we all struggle to expose the cover-up of abuse by church leadership.

We are aware of how difficult it is to speak out on this issue, and we support each other in that effort.

Voices of Victims/Survivors

It is important for all of us - and Church leaders - to give voice to victims/survivors and their loved ones.

We have worked with so many victims/survivors, their parents, siblings, spouses, and loved ones, who want to share their story. It takes courage to give voice to the pain, continue their healing, and advocate for change.
