Max, you misunderstand. Dolan IS one of the good guys.
Campbell, who was the pastor, had a single incident in his past, 13-16 years earlier - with a teenage girl - that wasn't even a crime. It was never eligible for prosecution and when we heard what it was...it was nothing in comparison.
It was the associate, who's activities FIRST surfaced this spring, who was the real problem and the Chancery had no idea until a 10 year old who was a family friend and not in the parish told of the abuse beginning when he was five. This guy pleaded guilty to five counts and is awaiting sentencing. And I hope he gets life at Potosi.
No, Dolan had nothing to do with it. And we miss him terribly.

Max, you misunderstand. Dolan IS one of the good guys.Well, the "proof is in the pudding." We'll find out eventually whether he's one of the good guys or not.
I'm not willing to go beyond the evidence to make a judgement either good or bad. We have evidence of the living situation, we have the "cheesehead miter," we have his complimentary comments regarding Weakland. None of these are conclusive evidence of his involvement in the homosexual conspiracy. But neither do they inspire confidence.
If there is evidence of decisions he has made which were tough and unpopular with the PC crowd, then I'll be happy to consider that information as well.
