Kevin, SNAP is Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, not the easiest acronym to tie to the actual name of the group. Click here for SNAP's "dirty Dozen" list. I agree with some of the organization's choices, but their charges against O'Malley are pretty flimsy. My top choice is still O'Malley, although I don't think he has a chance against the Europeans. I've never been impressed by Dolan. Dolan seems to fit the European stereotype of Americans - loud and lacking insight.

The other major US organization dealing with the child molestation crisis is http://www.bishop-accountability.org/, which maintains a database naming all U.S. priests, nuns, and church officials accused of sexual misconduct.

I tend to think of SNAP as more than a little bit brash. They seem bent on attack, rather than on resolving the problem of child molestation and healing the victims. bishopaccountability.org seems to be more an information provider, and it seems to seek a balanced, factual approach (which is still damning).
