Interestingly enough, Laurie Goodstein reports today in the New York Times about David Clohessy’s Kansas City subpoena, as I did yesterday, and unless I’m badly misreading her report, it fairly well squares with what I posted on this matter yesterday. Goodstein cites the highly regarded legal scholar and advocate for victims, Marci Hamilton, who thinks that Catholic church leaders are deliberately trying to shut SNAP up by playing ugly legal hardball games in Missouri.
Goodstein also has insider information from Catholic League president Bill Donohue, who tells her that what is happening with SNAP in Missouri is being deliberately orchestrated by the U.S. Catholic bishops:
Lawyers for the church and priests say they cannot comment because of a judge’s order. But William Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, a church advocacy group in New York, said targeting the network was justified because “SNAP is a menace to the Catholic Church.”
