In this latest post from her blog, she proves once again the purity of her motives. With it, she posts a series of articles about a scandal that has engulfed SNAP (Survivors’ Network of those Abused by Priests) containing allegations by a former employee that they participated in a program of kickbacks from lawyers, and that the organization was animated by a deep-seated "personal and ideological animus against the Catholic Church." In her commentary after the compendium of articles on this case, Sylvia expresses her long-held discomfort with SNAP and makes clear that her own blog has never had any formal relationship with them. This was a point that she made quite clear to me when we met.
So kudos to Sylvia for highlighting this story about an organization that seems to have gone off the rails as evidenced by the resignation of SNAP's executive director... and for her continued dedication to providing both a sight which keeps people aware of the ongoing state of affairs in these matters within the Canadian Catholic Church while providing a safe place for victims to be able to network and find support in their efforts to find healing, peace, and justice. May her prayers that these goals be attained for those broken by sexual abuse at the hands of clergy come to fruition, sooner rather than later.
