That announcement set off a chain of events ending with the so-called White Report, the findings of a private investigation requested by Hubbard and commissioned by diocese's lay review board. Former U.S. prosecutor Mary Jo White, whose name carries great credibility, was paid $770 an hour by the diocese for her four-month inquiry,...... White was paid $2.2 million for a four-month inquiry that ended up clearing Hubbard of all accusations ......

Nice to see how the diocese is spending the widow's mite.

I guess if a diocese has few, if any vocations, and no seminarians to support then there's a few extra dollars kicking around from the Bishop's Annual Appeal. Lawyers are a worthy cause, I guess.

As for the accusations, they're what many of us have thought for a long time and in Hubbard's case, I'd be astounded if he wasn't homosexual. However, these men are entitled to their good name and reputation and I just pray that truth sees the light of day through all of this accusation/counter-accusation mess.

$2,200,00 divided by $770 = 2,857 hours in four months. Nice.

They "claim" it was paid from other funds :-). Ultimately, however, Mary Jo White was hired for $2.2 million to clear Bishop Hubbard's name. They say that "money can buy anything". She was limited to clearing his name on earth.

Like you, I pray for these bishops gone astray. May they have a change of heart and bring the lost sheep back into the fold.

"However, these men are entitled to their good name and reputation "

I disagree. If they are guilty of these things, they are not entitled to a good name.

Dear marshmallow,

That's what you pay for a top-shelf lawyer.
