Uhnnnn, Sinky, I recall you defending to the HILT the Bishop of Rochester (?)--something about a priest who committed suicide after a little go-round with the Bish...
Are you morally certain that this nun IS what's claimed in an article which is flawed in other regards?
Good heavens! Burke consolidated a couple of parishes in a town with a diminishing population!!!
And, my o my, a Father left in disgust. Are you aware of all the circumstances on that one? I am. And there's a very good reason why this screed doesn't mention it.
I didn't defend Hubbard (bishop of Albany); I took on the attorney who keeps bringing suits against him, one John Aretakis.
The guy's a shyster, and has been proven to be a shyster.
That would be Albany, not Rochester, though these two bishops are good friends since seminary, were positioned in their respective episcopates 27 years ago, and both adhere to an ultra liberal agenda.
The victim of a 'purported suicide' was Fr. Minkler, an orthodox priest, who returned from a retreat to find a message from the chancery advising him to get his butt down there asap. He was met by the bishop's legal assistant, handed a document denying that he wrote a report to Cardinal O'Connor on the scandals in this diocese, and told to sign it. He was found dead the next day, face down on a blanket placed on the kitchen floor - you know, the 'typical' suicide ( /sarcasm).
