Bishop Olmsted did send the confidential letters to the priests,he sent each of the nine a personal,confidential lwtter,he did NOT announce it through the newspapers. From what I understand,one of the recipients of the letters took it to the newspapers and Bishop Olmsted is not happy.

I don't know if this means anything to you,but I believe that you could not help but be appreciative of Bishop Olmsted. He is highly intelligent,holy and humble. I have watched him meet people throughoout the diocese and he has a remarkable pastoral quality that shines through,he is amazing.

He also has chosen to live at the rectory in two rooms rather than the bishop's home in a vry nice neighborhood in Central Phoenix. He has also treated the ex-bishop with a graciousness that that bespeaks his respect for the dignity of God's creations.

I must be on the wrong thread. I thought we were talking about the priest who allowed the non-Catholic minister to distribute the Eucharist.

If that's the way Olmsted handled THIS matter, that's great.

Suspending Cunningham is a bit much, IMO.
