OK, now we know...

By Phil Lawler ( bio - articles - email ) | Mar 14, 2012

Today we have received a whole lot of answers from the embattled priest. The Washington archdiocese has a lot of explaining to do.

    We get the shepherds we deserve, and, judging from this appalling little imbroglio, we must be one really rotten flock.

    The archdiocese can explain all they want, but their actions have already spoken volumes to people both IN and Out of the Church. No further explanation is needed, as it would only lead to dissembling or equivocation.
