Confrontation leads to discipline for priestMaybe he should have showered the disrupters with holy water? But then, that would have been a waste of good holy water...SNAP is the group that unjustly "hounded" a priest who was never charged with any crimes.
The St. Louis Archdiocese will discipline a visiting priest at St. Ambrose Church in connection with his confrontation Jan. 28 with a member of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, an Archdiocese spokesperson said Monday.
St. Louis police issued a court summons accusing the Rev. Andrew Pinsent of peace disturbance for allegedly placing his hands on the shoulders of SNAP's Barb Dorris and taking fliers she had. Dorris had been distributing fliers in front of St. Ambrose to parishioners arriving for Mass, informing them of SNAP's concern about two priests who had served briefly there.
Pinsent is from England and is working on a doctorate degree at St. Louis University. He will be disciplined by the Rev. Richard Hanneke, the Archdiocese's Vicar of Priests, according to the spokesperson.
