SNAP Petition to U.S. Bishops: Stop the Bullying!



I'm just now seeing this petition from SNAP as the day ends, telling the U.S. Catholic bishops to stop the bullying of SNAP and survivors of clerical sexual abuse.  I just signed, and encourage readers of this blog to consider doing so as well.

The U.S. Catholic bishops began a two-day administrative committee meeting today.  As I have made no secret of thinking, SNAP and survivors of clerical sexual abuse deserve the strongest possible support from American Catholics, and it's scandalous in the extreme, I believe, that the bishops continue the bullying tactics they have exhibited all along in the abuse crisis--now with hardball legal tactics against SNAP in Missouri.  

The bishops need to hear from lay Catholics who oppose their bullying.  And SNAP needs our support.
