A blog by the name "Christan Child Abuse" byline - "Religious fanatics are among the most vicioius(sic) child abusers in the world" which claims "In fact, you could go so far as to say that child abuse IS a Judeo-Christian-Islamic tradition!" is blogging about SNAP press releases. The blog is run by professed Satanists. Apparently the are hoping to discredit the Church as True because of the sins of Her members. Recently they posted on a Fr. Willenborg
Leaders of a Chicago-based support group are writing to [Bishop] Paprocki [of Springfield], prodding him toFr. Willenborg is a sad tale, may St. Michael defend him from the snares of Satan, and may his victim find The Divine Healer. Also an interesting case since the victim was an adult women where most cases have been adolescent boys.
-- aggressively reach out to anyone with information about a predator priest, Fr. Henry V. Willenborg, who was ousted last fall, and
-- post all the names of central Illinois child molesting clerics on his diocesan website.
At sidewalk news conferences in St. Louis and Quincy, the group is also begging anyone who saw, suspected or suffered clergy sex crimes (especially Willenborg) to call police, get help, expose wrongdoers, protect others and start healing.
Last October, Willenborg was suspended from active ministry because of allegations that he molested a Quincy teenager years ago. At the time of his ouster, Willenborg was working at Our Lady of the Lake church in Ashland, Wisconsin (in the Superior Diocese). The move was prompted, in part, by a long, page one New York Times story which disclosed that Willenborg seduced a young devout Illinois Catholic woman, impregnated her twice, urged her to have an abortion once, then for more than two decades essentially ignored the boy he fathered. In the same article, another woman said that Willenborg had sexually abused her when she was in high school in Quincy. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/16/us/16priest.html
And I think here's the point of the article from the C of S perspective:
SNAP notes that the actual number of Springfield area pedophile priests is likely much higher because BishopAccountability.org lists only those clerics against whom allegations have been lodge in the public domain – in civil lawsuits, criminal prosecution or news accounts.So now they hope to project all priests as guilty criminals(to say the least). Interesting bedfellow SNAP finds herself with.

If the Church is required to post a list ofsex offenders, the surely they wouldn't have the names of all other Illinois sex offenders having their names published, would they?
Right, well I think part of the problem with SNAP is that instead of efforts to reform the clergy and assist the victims, they simply walk around with pitchforks and torches attacking priests and the Church. The double standard means nothing to an angry mob.
"Isn't that SPECIAL?" to quote the Church Lady from SNL...
Yikes!
It just goes to show; birds of a feather, flock together.
Satanists with SNAP...I feel a SNL skit comin' on:<)!
