PLEASE, get your facts straight before you pontificate to others about it.

Rainy, I think this is a gossip thread. No facts are necessary.

It is just a little humerous to see these posters make, of all people, Bishop Thomas O'Brien into the devil himself.

You know as well as I, that his Excellency is a weak leader and a tribute to mediocrity, but he is not an immoral monster.

A tragic accident occurred. Could have been any of us - and almost happened to me along that same strecth of road, on several different occasions no less.

I agree with most of your post but this part.

exceppt.... YOU would have stopped after the accident. YOU would not have tried to get the windshield replaced on Sunday to hide your crime. YOU would have offered last rites. The problem is, this bishop, did not.

I hardly think his actions representative of my Catholic family members... and suggest humbly that YOUR reactions to such an accident would very likely be like theirs... stop, call for police, offer assistance, and pray for the wounded... till the medics, police and fire department officials arrived.

May your tribe increase... and may this bishop's... be put out to pasture.
fwiw...

to be honest with you, I don't know even ONE catholic family member or friend who would behave in any other way, than to do what is right in such manners. The ones I know won't even tell a little white lie... let alone leave the scene of an accident.
