Dear ninenot,

No, it's two issues. Archbishop Burke may be delinquent in this or that way, but the homosexual rag lied about him. The "facts" presented didn't add up to the truth.

It seems that the homosexual rag in question is taking its journalistic cues from the National Catholic Regurgitator. Fortunately for the homosexual rag, it has some distance to fall before it reaches that dismal level.

But your point is well taken, that separately from the issue of the truth of the article, Archbishop Burke may need to adopt policies and procedures to protect him from these problems. I suspect that he is a better soul than most, and perhaps finds it difficult to believe evil of people, especially when he meets them in person. Not every good and decent person is also shrewd and cunning. In fact, often the opposite is the case; our Lord assured us of this.

We must redouble our prayers for our good bishops, and pray that God will send us more, and men who are not only good and decent, but shrewd and wise, too.

How did it lie about Burke? His words are his words, and he clearly supported, at one time, a transgender to found a religious order. And he said that Rome supported him on it.

Also if, as ninenot says, Julie still looks like a Joel, how on earth could Burke get sucked in by some nice-sounding ideology?
