Barbara Blaine, who did pioneering work on behalf of individuals abused
by priests and founded the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests
(SNAP), died on Sunday, the organization said in a statement.
Blaine, 61, who resigned as SNAP president in February, was surrounded by family and friends when she died, the statement said. Blaine stepped down after three decades of campaigning to force the Catholic Church to recognize the extent of the scandal and compensate thousands of people affected.
