At first I was going to disagree with you—spokesmen are often asked to provide answers for problems they have very little to do with.

Then I read up on him. He’s been in the Pittsburg Chancery for 44 years.

The present Bishop, while only the ordinary since 2007, has not been around nearly that long—but long enough. From 1988 until his appointment as chaplain to the Packers (I mean Bishop of Green Bay) in 2003, he held a series of increasingly responsible positions in the chancery, with Director of Clergy Personnel beginning in 1991.

If you’ve been dealing with a mess for nearly 3 decades, it becomes your mess, not just one you’ve inherited.

So I agree with you—and think that the Bishop needs to come out and eat some humble pie//do penance.
