O'Brien seems to be doing a fairly good job of it...

Right after his consent agreement in which he admitted he obstructed justice... he came out publicly and stated he didn't...

The only reason our County atty entered into the consent agreement in the first place was because he felt getting considerations about how the church treated victims and children was more important than putting his butt in jail...

Guess he didn't foresee this coming... The consent agreement is pretty much useless now...

BTW, the church in Phoenix reimbursed Romley for all expenses in relation to the investigation... which included the cost in salaries for 10 staff for over a year...

I really don't know how or why people keep putting money in the collection plate...

Well, in researching something else, I stubbled on the concept of Catholic development (fund-raising - BIG time). I don't think it's all coming from the collection plate at the diocesan level. And, really, there is no reason to withhold money when you're talking about salaries of needed lay staff and utilities. That's where a lot of it goes.
