[Polycarp]

Who is the villain? This whistle blower priest or the bishop?

Unfortunately in this age the safest assumption is that the villian is the bishop.

Bumping for further input...

Really looks to me like Fr. Haley is the one that should be left standing when the smoke settles. But this is only one parish this is going on in many others. The church I went to when I was living in FL had a wonderful Priest that had been instrumental in building a most beautiful church, even a stepped alter where a railing could have been added. The Bishop (Diocese of Palm Beach) was not a good priest at all and our conservative priest ended up being sent to Rome for a year to study. The next Bishop was no better..
