Fr. Hamilton put a letter in the bulletin that another parishioner characterized as "venomous" - it read as if Fr. Haley was leaving the priesthood. Steve & I couldn't believe that, having seen his reverence.
One rumor that circulated was that he had gone into a monastery, which still made us sad as he was an excellent homilist, but we consoled ourselves with the thought that he was working in God's nuclear power plant. When the truth came out (as much of it as has come out) we were horrified.
I'm sure he could use money - $2k a month is minuscule in Northern VA. I'm working on finding him & will let you know via freepmail if I do.
