I have not found SNAP to be fair, balanced or dependable. They tend to take every accusation, every suspicion and every association as gospel. They seem more interested in pay-offs than healing. But then that is just my impression based on their history. But hey, at least they get to bankrupt churches. Maybe we need a priests survivor group for those who have survived SNAP.

I grew up as a neighbor to the very seminary Kicanas used to run.

If SNAP fires its weapons a bit too freely, remember that the Church, especially it’s leaders, gave them the ammo and plenty of legitimate targets.
