Talk:Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests

Removed bad section

I removed a bad section as it completely misrepresented the story. the news article here does discuss the group however if someone else wants to use it. Benjiboi 21:45, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Views on ban of homosexual seminarians

The article should maybe explain what was the initial reaction of SNAP when the Vatican announced a ban on gay seminarians (see Instruction Concerning the Criteria for the Discernment of Vocations with regard to Persons with Homosexual Tendencies in view of their Admission to the Seminary and to Holy Orders). As I seem to recall, SNAP was not entirely satisfied, and some in Rome were apparently criticizing SNAP for hypocrisy, for wanting on one hand an end to clerical pedophilia, and on the other for being slightly opposed to a ban on gay seminarians.

Seems like a way to conflate being gay with pedophilia, which SNAP doesn't readily perpetuate. Instead their work seems to focus on justice issues regardless of a predator's sexuality and exposing the concealment of abuse. -- Banjeboi 03:45, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Documentation of SNAP acceptance of plaintiff attorney donations

In a quotation within a 12/19/2004 AP article in the Beaufort Gazette, David Clohessey of SNAP at the time acknowledged that SNAP had accepted donations from plaintiff's attorneys who worked on abuse cases. I have added a reference for this statement. Ajschorschiii (talk) 03:17, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Priests? Or is clergy better?

The blue link on the first line of the intro sends one to Priest (Catholic Church), but the article goes on to explain that they have chapters for baptists and other denominations. While the word needs to remain "priests" because that is part of the name of the organization, should it link to clergy instead since the scope of this organization is not just Catholicism?Farsight001 (talk) 21:04, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

No one talking, so I'm going ahead with the change I guess.Farsight001 (talk) 02:24, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

July 8 2010

I did some work aimed to improve this article:

- eliminated places repeatedly referencing the SNAP homepage and put this homepage under Sources section

- enhanced and improved little the existing text

POV issues

I have tagged this article for POV issues. The "Controversies" section is too long and not specifically named enough (see WP:CSECTION). Marquardtika (talk) 17:43, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

@Marquardtika: I cleaned this up a bit. It does still seem like WP:UNDUE to me, but is not as egergious. - Scarpy (talk) 18:07, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

@Scarpy: Thanks, your edits definitely look like an improvement! Marquardtika (talk) 18:10, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
