	SNAP President on Priest Suspensions My Fox Philly March 9, 2011 http://www.myfoxphilly.com/dpp/good_day_philadelphia/snap-president-on-priest-suspensions [with video] Today is Ash Wednesday, marking Lent, the holiest time in the Catholic church. The focus today, however, is on the ongoing child sex abuse investigation. The Philadelphia Archdiocese has suspended 21 priests who were discussed in last month's grand jury report. The names of the removed priests will be announced in all of the affected parishes later on today. Cardinal Rigali released a statement which reads, in part, "I pray that the efforts of the Archdiocese to address these cases of concern and to re-evaluate our way of handling allegations will help rebuild that trust in truth and justice." Some say these suspensions are simply not enough, including members of the Survivors Network of Those Abused By Priests, or SNAP. SNAP President Barbara Blaine joined Mike and Kerry this morning to talk about yesterday's events and going forward, what we can expect from her organization.
