Wow, are you sure she's not writing about the Archdiocese of Boston? Cases in point:

When I worked there they hired CCS, the most vile company I have ever come in contact with. One employee was virulently anti-Catholic while others spent their time making fun of the Pastors in meetings...the full gamut.

Not to mention the nights they spent out drinking and whoring on the Diocese dime at expensive steakhouses and bars then comparing hang overs during business meetings the next day.

When I complained about their behavior, including offensive comments they made about Clergy and the teachings of the Church which I found offensice, I got yelled at.

Another instance: A Priest I know who's been out for two years trying to get reinstated was told by the Archdiocese that he had no right to due process and that he should disappear and stop making waves or else he was violating his vow of obedience.

It's only gotten worse since the new guy came in.

What's that quote? "The road to hell is paved with the skulls of bishops"

Yeah. I've heard that quote --- "The floor of hell is paved with the skulls of bishops" --- attributed to two great saints: John Chrysostom and Francis de Sales. (BTW both of them were bishops.) And the who greatest artists in Catholic history, Michelangelo and Dante, both featured bishops burning in hell.

Which is not to say, 'hate your bishops.' As Jesus said of the Pharisees, don't do like they do. And as Mary Ann Kreitzer says, build up your good priests, praise them conspicuously, laud them to the bishop, hold them up in public and in private. And pray for them. Seriously.

The survival of many souls depends on our support of "the good guys."

"The floor of hell is paved with the skulls of priests, with bishops as its flaming lampposts."
