Nevermind..I see you were directing me to your post #2.
I see what you are saying, but I’m not sure we know enough about this priest to make that judgment. Of course, he is a Novus Ordo priest so chances are he fits that mold, but we just don’t know.

I was taught that problems come from the top, usually, and when they don’t, when they start at the bottom, it depends mightily on how the top reacts to the problem, and how they correct it, or not. They may choose to fail at correction, or to ignore, or to tolerate.
Either way, the priest does not get a pass.
