A Madison survivors group is urging the bishop to stop one of his priests from going to court.

The group SNAP, which stands for Survivors' Network of those Abused by Priests handed out fliers outside of St. Patrick's church Sunday, urging parishioners to contact Bishop Robert Morlino. They're upset that Father Vosen, who had been removed from his post for allegations of sexual abuse, is counter-suing a victim for defamation. The group says the Bishop should stop this lawsuit because it could discourage victims from coming forward
