Smooth talker

By Diogenes ( articles ) | May 08, 2003

Donna Morrissey, who handled public relations for the Boston archdiocese through the darkest days of the sex-abuse scandal, has left that post. Naturally, reporters are asking: Did she jump or was she pushed?

The Rev. Christopher Coyne, who has replaced Morrissey on an interim basis, would not say if Morrissey resigned or was fired. ''We would never disclose something like that,'' he said.

Ah. Very smooth. Now there's a PR pro at work!
