Classy of the Bishop to speak out about this man’s very private problems.
Sorry, “church law” is law of man, and, in this case, the law is an ass.
“Classy of the Bishop to speak out about this mans very private problems.”
I’m thinking it was the couple in question that brought this to the media’s attention.
The man in question went to the media to complain about the Church. The bishop did not discuss the matter until he was attacked in the media.
I'm betting that the bishop did NOT "speak out about this man's very private problems."
I am betting that this man with very private problems spoke out about them.
