	Controversial Boston Priest Promoted to Bishop, SNAP Responds Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests January 14, 2011 http://www.snapnetwork.org/snap_statements/2011_statements/011411_controversial_boston_priest_promoted_to_bishop_snap_responds.htm Statement by David Clohessy Executive Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests. 314 566 9790 SNAPClohessy@aol.com It's irresponsible and callous for the Pope to promote one of disgraced Cardinal Bernard Law's top aides to be a bishop. It's thumbing your nose at the hundreds of men, women, and children who were sexually assaulted by Catholics clergy in Boston and Indianapolis. A Boston Globe columnist calls Coyne "Law's chief spokesman during the abuse scandal." A mediocre track record with public relations doesn't make for a promising bishop. As long as the Vatican keeps rewarding tainted clerics with close ties to horrific scandals, the church will keep being tainted with more horrific scandals.
