A day after taking their message to Sioux City's Catholic Diocese, SNAP, or Survivors Network of those Abused by priests held another press conference Saturday afternoon in Davenport, Iowa.


They're trying to keep former Sioux City bishop Lawrence Soens from attending an upcoming visit by Pope Benedict the 16th.

All American bishops are invited to attend those events next week in New York and Washington D-C.

There's no word on whether Soens plans to attend, but the group is urging Iowa's bishops to persuade him not to.

According to SNAP, ten child molestation lawsuits have been filed against the former Davenport priest.
