	Peoria Catholic Bishop Target of Protest By Lori Obert Central Illinois Proud January 5, 2009 http://centralillinoisproud.com/content/fulltext/?cid=40001 - Protestors gather today demanding answers from Peoria Catholic Bishop Daniel Jenky. In front of the new Chancery office building in Peoria, members of SNAP, the Survivor Network of Those Abused by Priests, call on the Bishop to follow through on his commitment to pay for their therapy. Protestors say the bishop has refused to pay for counseling for 13 victims. To date, the bills total more than a half million dollars. "I want him to write a letter to the eight victims, to write them a letter saying they can attend a counselor of choice for the rest of their life if necessary,” Peoria SNAP Director Jeff Jones said. The Catholic Diocese of Peoria would not respond to our phone calls. They did send out a press release saying they're committed to paying counseling fees for credible allegations of sexual abuse.
