Des,can you do a little better on the time and sequencing of the scandal at the parish where archbishop Dolan lived? I read on a Google search piece that he was ordained in St. Louis in August of 2001,he had just returned from a long stint in Rome.He was appointed in Milwaukee only 10 months later.
It seems to me Max is using your post to point out that the archbishop was negligent or remiss.While I was extremely unhappy that he was pretty kind,if not glowing in his recognition of rembert,I am unwilling to cross him off the list of very fine bishops based on 10 months at a rectory with abusers. Even if that is the case although it may be less.Need your help Des!!
As Livius pointed out on another thread,he has come to believe that many of these abusers are sociopaths,whose every work is likely to be a lie,thus they are quite convincing in their stories because they have no conscience,dolan's failing to recognize them would not in itself be unusual.So before this story takes on a life of its own,let us try to get some more facts on the table. ?Thanks.
You may have made the comment on this thread. Whereever you made it,it was on the money!!!
See post #117. Dolan had no knowledge of any of it. And the associate at Sorrows (I Can't remember his name) was/is somewhat of a sociopath. I posted a story in November regarding his status. He's currently in jail. The allegations against him hadn't even been made when this all started last year.
I'll have to think about and post a timeline tomorrow. My parents' parish was one of the first with scandal in the background. That guy, Ross, and Campbell (the pastor at Sorrows) were removed the same day in February.
