One more note from a member of our diocesan clergy I received this AM:
Brian,
"Supposedly, I am being asked to explain a "gag" order that I placed on the priests of the Diocese. No such order from me exists." --Bishop Adamec.
What a liar!!! He absolutely, without question, issued a canonical warning to all the priests and deacons in the diocese last fall at the Clergy Conference, just ask any honest person who was present. How he can lie through his teeth about that is beyond me. I'm sure in his mind it's all semantics (and the fact that he didn't put it in writing!) but I'm really have serious doubts about ... this [bishop]!
I just talked to another priest yesterday who was at the latest Clergy Conference who told me he heard Adamec say he had to "go to Rome" ...but apparently he didn't mean it literally from all that this loon has said since.
Later, *****
