BOISE -- Members of a national group calling itself SNAP, or Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, were in Boise Tuesday.

Boise Bishop Michael Driscoll

SNAP director David Clohessy delivered a letter to the office of Bishop Michael Driscoll urging him to talk more about sexual abuse allegations in Idaho.

Driscoll is the leader of the Roman Catholic church in Idaho. A staff member said he was out of town today.

Earlier this month Driscoll apologized for the way he handled abuse allegations against other priests when he worked for the church in California.

Several days later, churchgoers learned that Driscoll failed to remove a Boise deacon after he was told the FBI was investigating the man for allegedly viewing child pornography.
