I don't believe any of them are unbelieving of the bishop's sincerity. apc actually said he was sincere.<br /><br />The point I was making is that there is more to the bancrupcy story than just abusive priests. There is the role of the bishops. <br /><br />There are also some interesting side effects to the bancrupcy decision. The main one being the delay or possible elimination of depositions of fellow bishops in a civil court on the public record.<br /><br />I thank you for posting the Turlish article. I also thank you for allowing all voices to be heard. There are few places that I know of on the web where multiple opinions may be shared regarding these challenging church issues.<br /><br />I have a great deal of respect for you and this blog.

The second post was of a report which supported those commenters.<br /><br />Having posted favorably on Listecki's statement I thought it incumbent on me to post the Turlish piece which supported the earlier comments. <br /><br />I was first going to update the original post but then thought the update might be lost there and so I created a separate post.Concord Pastorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18322127779647130869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808375493800890797.post-75771354541556371912011-01-20T09:40:08.483-05:002011-01-20T09:40:08.483-05:00CP, can you share with us why you think this piece...CP, can you share with us why you think this piece "deserves our attention"?Michaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808375493800890797.post-61479152019300158812011-01-12T14:51:05.267-05:002011-01-12T14:51:05.267-05:00Thank you for posting this viewpoint.

Perhaps I am not fair, but I blame the hierarchy far more than the priest abusers for the crisis. I really do not understand what made these men abusers. The two I knew seemed charming but somewhat shallow. I do not believe that it has anything to do with homosexual orientation; the Vatican efforts to ban homosexual priests will not eliminate pedophiles from the priesthood. (I have known several homosexual priests who are good priests and definitely not pedophiles.) <br /><br />The motivation of the bishops seems clearer. They were trying to protect the reputation of the Church at great cost to its most vulnerable members.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
