"Clergy Abuse Survivors Question Kamala Harris Record"
'Harris never responded to him when he wrote to tell her that a priest who had molested him was still in ministry at a local Catholic cathedral. And, he says, she didnt reply five years later when he wrote again, urging her to release records on accused clergy to help other alleged victims who were filing lawsuits.
She did nothing, said Piscitelli, today the Northern California spokesman for SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests. Survivors of clergy abuse and their attorneys say that Harris record on fighting sex abuse within the Catholic Church is relevant as the U.S. senator from California campaigns for the presidency... They complain that Harris was consistently silent on the Catholic Churchs abuse scandal first as district attorney in San Francisco and later as Californias attorney general.
Catholics make up large voting blocs in the city and the state, accounting for roughly a quarter of the population in both San Franciscos metro area and across California.
Theres a potential political risk if you move aggressively against the church, said Michael Meadows, a Bay Area attorney who has represented clergy abuse victims. I just dont think she was willing to take it.'

Is this Harris' idea of social justice? Harris needs to explain to voters why she made these decisions and why. Since she portrays herself as a tough prosecutor, it is relevant to know about Harris' history as DA and AG.
