It strikes me a bit strange that over the span of the past 27 years, this is the first Anglican married priest to be considered as 'worthy' by Roger Cardinal Mahony.

This struck me as a red flag as well, as did Father Lowe's rather vacuous comments (""I said to Linda, `This is where it is happening,"' Lowe recalled") cited in the article. It's difficult to discern truth through the fog of this "journalalism", but this does not appear to be a John Henry Newman situation.

I have a theory. Most of us guys who were allegedly ordained in the PepsiCola Church didn't swim the Tiber to become liberals. It's kind of like Grouch Marx's joke that He didn't want to be a member of a club that accepted people like him. If Bishop Walter the Pink of Richmond had allowed me in under the Pastoral Provision, I wouldn't be a Freeper or hoping to explore my vocation as a Dominican tertiary, get what I mean? It took His Eminence 27 years to find one of us turncoats who did think that his diocese would be a good one to stay away from.

JUST a theory ....
