Actually it's not a smear. It was explained in the article.

Burke, apparently, invited some fringe religious orders, with one or two people, to come to LaCrosse because they were "traditional."

Some in those orders were not exactly psychologically healthy individuals.

Let's clarify that: "traditional" = conservative Novus Ordo. How many "traditionalists" on FR or otherwise would attend a NO "Mass" by their bishop?

Burke, apparently, invited some fringe religious orders, with one or two people, to come to LaCrosse because they were "traditional."
Some in those orders were not exactly psychologically healthy individuals.

In February 2002, the order's superior, Monsignor Timothy Svea, pleaded guilty to exposing himself to and molesting teenage boys.

Perhaps I'm still hung up on "That's why...",  :-)   but it is illogical to tie Archbishop Burke's invitation to priests to celebrate the Tridentine rite to the pervert's actions.  Doesn't the invitation mentioned indicate they were outside his diocese?  Surely you recognize that when priests fall, they fall hard; in this case what looks like spreading blame [for perversion] is assinine.  I'm missing something, and remain skeptical as to what this article's purpose is.  Pax et bonum.

IT's the RIverfront TImes which is less objective than the Post-Dispatch and not in a good way. The whole purpose here is for them to divide and conquer.
