Why? Because Jesus said that if we have a problem with someone, we are to go to that person in private and clear it up. If that person doesn't listen, we are to bring one other person as witness to our situation. If that doesn't work, we bring it before the Church (internal).

He didn't say - first go out into the secular town square and broadcast it to everyone in public. That can lead to rumors, gossip and damage of reputations.

Such is often the tactic of liberal Catholics, who run to media to put pressure on delicate situations according to their preferences, creating an army of busy-bodies.

I give both Monahagn and Fessio the benefit of doubt as a fellow Catholic. I trust they've worked it out.

If this only involved Fr. Fessio - I might say you are correct. However this affects all the students and potential students - who pay to attend this university, and whose lives and futures are at stake. I have a high schooler and you may not think it's my business to know what's going on in that administration, but before I'd pay a penny to send my child there, I want to know what direction that university is taking. And I'll tell you - this attitude of "it's not your business" is not making it very attractive to prospective students - or their parents. It is our business whether you agree or not.
