SNAP attempts to manufacturer outrage against GB diocese

"What they're doing is destroying evidence of child sex crimes. It's absolutely appalling," said John Pilmaier, SNAP's Midwest co-director, who took part in a news conference Tuesday outside the federal courthouse in Green Bay.

The Green Bay Diocese issued a statement saying federal law keeps it from including psychological reports - which might contain information about inappropriate sexual behavior - in its personnel files. And diocese spokesman Ray DuBois said no files related to pending cases have been destroyed.

James Santelle, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, said he had not yet seen the deposition but would meet with SNAP members to discuss their concerns.

"This is an issue of considerable public interest, and therefore our doors are open," Santelle said. "I'm certainly interested and willing to meet with these folks . . . and make some determination about what if anything the . . . Department of Justice should be doing on this."

The Fed Judge in Green Bay is a very learned and studious man, the son of a fellow who was MU's Chair/Philosophy for years (when MU was actually Catholic....mostly.)

THIS should be interesting.
