SNAP presses Jefferson City diocese

Members of SNAP - the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests - on Thursday demanded more information from the Jefferson City Catholic Diocese about the case of Father Brendan Doyle.

A priest since 1963 and a Helias chaplain/counselor and religion instructor since 1989, Doyle, 73, has been placed on paid leave while an unidentified law enforcement agency investigates the origins of what were called "inappropriate web images" found on his personal computer last month.

Doyle had taken the computer to Helias so an employee there could repair what the priest said might have been a computer virus.

SNAP member Fred Carr of North St. Louis County told reporters that Bishop John Gaydos isn't keeping a promise he made to keep people better informed about the Doyle situation.
