The priest did not "cause scandal" -- Hannity had already done that by presenting himself as "Mr. Catholic" and holding positions that are antithetical to being Catholic. Sean Hannity is the same as that woman who runs "Catholics for Free Choice" when it comes to being a Catholic.

Well, in way he did, and Sean did. The priest did because he went on national TV and came into conflict with the host. The host did because he was staking out anti Catholic positions and almost daring someone to pick him off.

This should of been handled by Sean's parish priest, in private, first. But, it is probable that his parish priest sees nothing wrong, and Ft. Euteneuer felt the need to use that opportunity to the best effect.

Like I said, I respect Ft. Euteneuer for being honest and true to his convictions. I just think it could have been handled better than on a national TV show. Now it seems he was looking for the publicity, and not to correct Sean (who is saying just that).
