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.

...Rod Dreher and Michael Rose ....they're both quite young, and they won't be going away for a long time to come.

I hope the opposite is true for Adamec. May he soon join the ranks of Law and Weakland.

No slam intended, BTW. I found your topic interesting and wanted to comprehend that which was being said. Probably says more about my ADD than anything. Thanks for 'splaining, and all the best....

It's amusing to hear Adamec claim he only wants to punish dissenters. Since when have American bishops ever troubled themselves with religious dissent except when it comes from the right and when it has challenged their own multiple corruptions? And where has Rome been on all this? Nowhere. It's too busy protecting Saddam--passionately.
