This article is a hit piece.

I think you're right, but at the same time there are a lot of facts here. They're just not tied together well. The author and the editor need to go back to writing class. There's too many points all jumbled up.

I do think, though, that in the beginning, to be charitable, no one really knew what this sickness involved and that psychology and psychiatrists really did not have a cure. The church has learned that the hard way and the teachings on forgiveness were exploited along the way.

The way this article is written is atrocious. It had a goal of smearing Father Groeschel any way possible. You can string together bits and pieces of quotes and facts and make a newspaper column say or imply anything you want. And this is but one of several foul efforts of this writer on the subject of Father Groeschel.
