We have to remember, Fr. Gruner is now incardinated in a diocese. He is taking orders from higher up.
My guess is the good sisters in the convent knew Rome would do something like this so they released news of Sister Lucia's death to the secular media first.
Good point.
The priests here hadn't heard yet, this morning when I came in to work. Pretty shocked everyone was - but no hype about it.
We have to accept it, move on, and be careful not to get caught up in over-guessing/over-reacting to all the hay flying now.
