	Aretakis: Protests Will Continue Capital News 9 [Albany NY] January 21, 2006 http://www.capitalnews9.com/content/your_news/capital_region/default.asp?ArID=165323 Attorney John Aretakis has been banned from coming within 300 feet of Holy Cross Church in Albany, a church he regularly protests in front of. A State Supreme Court Judge converted a temporary restraining order into a preliminary injunction. That means Aretakis won't be allowed near the Holy Cross Church or school when mass or class is in session. Members of SNAP, or the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, have been protesting in front of the church since last summer. The protestors were calling for the removal of Father Daniel Mahar on accusations that he sexually abused a church member back in the 1970's. A Diocese Review Board cleared Father Mahar of any wrong doing. The judge also ruled that the protestors aren't allowed within 100 feet of the church. Aretakis said the judge's decision is another in a long line of court decisions that help the church protect predators. He said the protests will continue.
