I won't deny it sounds bad, but I also doubt it is being portrayed honestly given the agenda of the publication. Ms. Helmueller wrote a letter to the Papal Nuncio. Does this Catholic laywoman have an agenda?
This weirdness is on top of the building of a $25 million shrine in a small Wisconsin diocese.

Rembert Weakland built a $25MM shrine to himself when he "renovated" the Cathedral and added a very, ah, pink glass-enclosed garden walkway.
Rembert also spent $900K remodeling his 1800-square-foot residence; this included Coryan counters and a very nice 2-seater hot-tub.
Just where were the complaints from Fort Worth?

The lack of information following Abp. Burke's response leaves questions, doesn't it? Is there reason to believe that the issue [about the trans-whatever nun] was not amicably resolved?
I read in Canon Law that a man who assisted in procurement of an abortion could not be a priest; I would be amazed if Abp. Burke, a "brilliant" canon lawyer as I have heard the case to be, would ignore something comparable that applies to vows of a woman-who-used-to-be-a-man religious.

Sinky, sitetest's response in post 74 almost said it best. Borrowing with corrections:
I'm sure all the facts have not been reported, and I'm sure not everything reported is a fact.
