St. Louis (KSDK)– Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York City, is also facing some scrutiny from a national group that deals with sexual abuse allegations surrounding Catholic clergy, while returning home to St. Louis. The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priest, or S.N.A.P., protested Sunday afternoon outside Cardinal Dolan’s mass.

Sunday, it became very clear that both Cardinal Dolan and S.N.A.P. have their differences.

About a half dozen people backing S.N.A.P. protested outside the Cathedral Basilica in St. Louis this afternoon. Leaders of the group handed out about 200 flyers to parishioners on their way into mass. The flyers expressed the group’s disapproval with Cardinal Dolan’s track record when involved with clergy sexual abuse cases.

S.N.A.P. supporters spoke specifically of one case based out of New York City that they believe Cardinal Dolan is not taking seriously.
