Drawing public attention to himself as a "partnered" lavender queen trying to adopt a child while living off the Church's nickel has a name: the sin of scandal. You think this queen walked in off the street, filled out a job application, notified the diocese or parish that he had a "husband" and that they just sat back, kicked off their shoes and said: "Doesn't everyone?" You don't know us very well. This is Doran's turf and AmChurch he is not.

Looks as though Doran is employing a 'hit squad' of orthodox priests (or at least one...) who have the terrible job of firing flagrant scandal-causers.

Nice technique. It takes a bit longer to get things done that way, but if the first-string can't do the job, you bring in the bench.
