After reading the stories and responses presented here, it seems that Fr. Clay has been accused, investigated, was not found guilty of anything, and was restored to full clerical privileges. Are you accusing Fr. Clay of being a criminal priest? On what basis?
But, nothing official was ever forwarded to the chancellor or bishop of the diocese where Clay was serving.
Had this been pursued through the proper channels, and if Clay is truly innocent, there would be no embarrassment of Clay, or Hawkins, or disruption of St. Mary's parish.
Hawkins was clearly out of line.
