I see - you are into the Kumbaya group-hug crap now.
And you support the Voice of the Faithful types.

No. Actually, I'm coldly calculating that a bit of compassion shown by these bishops might cause some of these abuse victims to call off their lawyers.

I guess you think it's hunky-dory that these guys are setting you and me up to shell out millions of dollars in settlements, settlements to cover their mafia-like behavior.

This touches on a major reason for the sniping. Myers is not going to tolerate VOTF leftists posing as Catholics tom undermine the Faith in his Archdiocese. VOTF includes such as renegade ex-priest and libelmonger James Carroll, employed by the Boston Globe initially for the exposition of his new religion: The New Left, but now useful as a maximally disgruntled slimeball of an ex-priest attacking the Church in every way he can muster. An example is his book Constantine's Sword piling on Pius XII on the carnival of false allegations of anti-Semitism and a general attack on the Church as anti-Semitic. When he figures out that Yassar Arafat is a Marxist-Leninist, of course, Carroll will regard anti-Semitism as a virtue. That will then be his party line.

Have you noticed how long it had been as of your post #235 since anyone has mentioned Bishop Wuerl?
