That said, there was nothing priestlike in this bishop's behavior. Why is this so often the case? What's the sickness behind these symptoms?

Agreed. I hope they throw the book at him.

Why is this so often the case?

It isn't really. Catholics just get more press. Don't forget, the Enemy owns the media and will use it as a stick to beat the Church with whenever God allows him to. It is precisely because the Church is God's real address that we get taken seriously. When a comical clown like Swaggart gets caught with his hand in the cookie jar, it's an occasion for humor; when one of Our Guys gets busted, it's news. Why? Because the Enemy knows we're For Real, that's why; we rate the deluxe treatment.

What's the sickness behind these symptoms?

Rebellion. Americans will not tolerate being told what to do by anybody. That goes triple for most of the members of the USCCB. Who is that Pope guy to tell them that sexing the kinder is a sin, anyway?

If I were Pope, I'd send bishops like this to the Abbey of Tierra del Fuego where they'd spend the rest of their lives under a vow of silence cleaning out the filthiest toilets I could find. Better harsh penance today than a millstone around the neck in the Hereafter!
