Spokane Bishop William Skylstad says his memory is cloudy about events in the 1970s involving a priest who was molesting children.

From the Seattle Times
The past shadows a bishop's future

Wow. This is like putting Buckner in as a defensive replacement.

Rhetorical question - then what the heck is he doing as a bishop, much less being elected as President of the USCCB?!?!

Rhetorical question, as I said. I think I already know the answer. More and more it seems there are two Catholic churches, the one I fell in love with and crossed over the Tiber to be a part of - the one of the great Fathers, Doctors, Saints, Our Mother, etc. And the other one, which is pretty much like the ECUSA - the "religous" wing of the Democratic Party.

"Cloudy memory" of a priest abusing kids under his watch while he did nothing?!?!?!?!? Don't even get me started!!!!!!!! I'll bet his memory is "cloudy!"

What the heck kind of a stole is that he's got on?

Looks like something designed to celebrate gay indians.
