Upon starting to read this article, I went to find out more about Deal Hudson’s other views and came across this:

Deal Hudson’s Fall

From the second article:
“
But all that has changed. Just as the final installment of my series was going to press, Deal Hudson suddenly and spectacularly fell from his high pedestal. The thrice-married Baptist minister convert¾the beneficiary of two Novus Ordo “annulments” since his entry into the Church in 1982¾was toppled by his own remarkably sordid past. It seems we didn’t know the half of it.
“On August 19th the National Catholic Reporter broke the story of Hudson’s sexual relations with Cara Poppas, an 18-year old freshman student of his at Fordham University, where he was a professor from 1989-1994. Hudson, then age 44, was already married to his current wife when he took advantage of Poppas in his car and office on “Fat Tuesday” in 1994. According to the written account Poppas supplied to Fordham’s legal counsel (none of which Hudson has disputed), Hudson knew beforehand that Poppas was emotionally disturbed and that her unfit parents had left her a ward of the state. The details of Hudson’s conduct as recounted by Poppas are not fit for publication, although NCR published them all.”
I also see he published a piece in the fall of 2013 in support of Pope Francis against charges he was allowing himself to be misinterpreted, but despite him blogging regularly, he seems quiet on Francis and the Family Synod.
He must have remembered all his sins when he went to confession...or God would not have even known
