SNAP FOUNDER QUITS IN DISGRACE
http://www.catholicleague.org ^ | 02/06/2017 | Bill Donohue

Blaine announced her resignation over the weekend. She quit in disgrace, as did the executive director, David Clohessy, who packed it in less than two weeks ago.

Both Clohessy and Blaine tried to put a happy face on their departure—which effectively kills SNAP—but no one believes them. Clohessy said his decision had nothing to do with the devastating lawsuit brought against SNAP by a former employee, Gretchen Rachel Hammond. Blaine echoed the same line, saying the lawsuit “had absolutely no bearing on my leaving.”

Clohessy listed “fatigue” as his reason for quitting, saying he wanted to do something “less stressful.” But what could be less stressful than rolling out of bed and answering the phone? After all, he didn’t report to work in Chicago, the venue of SNAP’s office; he elected to stay at home in St. Louis.

Speaking from the same playbook, Blaine said she left because “I need a break.” A break from what? Telling employees to ignore callers asking for help? That’s what Hammond alleges.

Clohessy and Blaine have shamelessly attacked the Catholic Church for decades, posing as crusaders for justice. All of this and more can be found on the Catholic League website: we have documented the lies and machinations of SNAP for a long time, though the mainstream media have been reluctant to acknowledge it.

One of the things being alleged is that the managers accepted kickbacks from the lawyers who were retained to represent victims. I wonder if there is anything criminal in that. It certainly doesn’t sound like an ethical practice for lawyers.

"ethical practice for lawyers"

That's a joke, right?

Yeah, but how many lawyers do you know? It sounds par for the course.

In fact (if you view the national legislature as one of the loftiest examples of law practitioners) this behavior is perhaps the expected ambition.

If this post offends any Freeper anywhere, correcting the behavior of your colleagues is a prerequisite for debating the veracity thereof.

The vast majority of priests in my church are good men, celibate men an pay a heavy price for their celibacy. My church also has a sub group of priests that are homosexual. On the surface they are celibate priests but use their profession as cover for homosexual activities. It causes great harm to my church.

If one is homesexual I have no problem with this. If one is homsexual do not use my church as cover for your inclinations. You hurt my church that I love and strangely I suspect you love also.

Greek Orthodox priests can marry. They do not have this problem. Their church is strong and my church is dying.
