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.

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.

"He's left a presbyterate that's demoralized and divided," says one former diocesan priest

That statement is the purpose of the article.
