I don't want to flog a dead horse with the abuse cover-up business, but this article seemed significant because for once, a bishop is not getting away with the lying and the coverup and the threatening of his own (faithful) priests. Rod Dreher is not going to be intimidated. Thank God for these few faithful lay Catholics who are fulfilling their roles, in this case as a journalist.

The photo of Adamec vs. Dreher ran fine in preview mode, then it didn't come out when I posted the article. But Rod Dreher and Michael Rose look like they could have been separated at birth. And they're both quite young, and they won't be going away for a long time to come.

Drive them out. Drive all of these con artists, out!

There is something similar going on here in Dallas. Wick Allison, former editor of National Review and current publisher of D Magazine, has organized a group of prominent laymen who are pressuring Bishop Charles Grahmann (of Rudy Kos fame) to resign. Grahmann has a coadjutor, Bishop Joseph Galante, but Galante has been shunted to the side. The morale in the Dallas chancery is at rock-bottom, as it is in some parishes and the diocesan seminary.

It is clear that Rome is going to do nothing about these bishops, nor are their cohorts. Their priests are scared to death of them. So, it is up to laymen to drive them out.

That presentation explained the laws of the church relative to a person publicly inciting public dissent against the church. The law is not mine but that of the universal church as found in the code of canon law ...

Stop it, you're scaring me.

Adamec is a punk and a bully. I'd like to see Dreher take him out back for a couple of rounds, mano a mano.

In fact, there're a lot of these sissy bishops I'd like to see taken on by loyal Catholics who despise pedophiles.
