You are contradicting him, he didn’t just apologize, he confessed, and he is selling the building.
Not according to his letter in the Bulletin. The AD council is going to consider the best way to deal with it. Unless they want to waste money at the whim of a couple of meddling women and are afraid of the media, they’ll keep it.< p>
This is no different than the LGBT crowd intimidating the CEO of Mozilla. Just a different prejudice.
The letter acknowledges that the decisions were cost effective - but nobody expected this to suddenly become a huge PR issue two years after the plans were approved.
That's not a confession of any sort - just an acknowledgment of the public outcry. Which has been driven by a couple of women in the parish who think they run the parish, didn't like the decision and ran to the media.
THAT is what I find disgusting - that, and a bishop allowing himself to be intimidated by the media and a couple of Church Ladies. John Hughes would have handed them their heads, and he wouldn't have been very polite about it.
