Not many of us are qualified to determine whether something is or is not harmful to the Church.

I agree, myself included.

However, we are all qualified to view the present crisis and discern its roots.

Every orthodox Catholic knows the current scandal revolve around laxity in sexual morality, and particularly homosexuality.

All of us agree this is harmful to the Church.

The evidence is too overwhelming to argue otherwise.

Some few lay people, Michael Rose for instance, have attempted to take a closer look.

For this, the "establishment" Catholic media and Catholic commentators like Steve Hand have eviscerated Rose.

This is frustrating, especially when those critics use slurs regarding the company Rose and others keep to discredit the facts instead of acknowledging the underlying crisis and the Truths Rose has revealed.

Taking acloser look is fine.

Doing it so publicly (publishing a book) - without substantiating all of the accusations is what?
Fine?
Not fine?
Something else?
