Agreed,I had this happen to a few priest friends of mine.Everyone stays mum and after a few months everything is up and running again.I never asked them but mostly when they did talk about it,it was for R&R.Respect the vocation and give him some space.

What I find unusual is why his book got pulled as well. If he had just stepped down there are plenty of understandable reasons, from the benign (R&R) to the salacious (Cutie).

Or if just his book had been pulled, that I could also understand, a heretofore unnoticed doctrinal error perhaps.

But both together smacks of an attempt to create an "unperson" .

On the other hand, Mr. Abbot says quite clearly: "whatever transpired is not the result of a bishop's persecution."

I pray that it is you and not I that has the right of it.

When the priests are on R&R, do their books mysteriously disappear from Amazon and every other book store that had previously sold them?

Your thoughts are positive, but don't add up. Fr. Euteneuer had lots on his plate when before he left HLI, and he was enthused about getting things done.
