Survivors Network of those Abused by
Priests (SNAP) president Barbara Blaine is asked to leave St. Peter's
square by Vatican security on Monday, April 11. She was in Rome to
protest Cardinal Bernard Law's memorial Mass for Pope John Paul II,
celebrated in St. Peter's Basilica.
Law, the former archbishop of Boston, resigned for mishandling the clergy sex abuse scandal, and Blaine said it was inappropriate for him to continue with such a high profile. The lawsuit by Gretchen Rachel Hammond names Barbara Blaine, David Clohessy and other SNAP leaders as defendants and alleges that “SNAP does not focus on protecting or helping survivors – it exploits them.”
