Sometimes you do more harm than good rushing to make an abject apology.
Our archbishop tied himself up into knots apologizing for a perfectly good business decision, and his course of action is going to waste a whole lot more money than was spent in the first place.
Sometimes I wish our ordinaries were less like Casper Milquetoast and more like "Dagger John" Hughes. THERE was a bishop with a backbone and to spare (even if he was more than a little scary, he was highly effective.)
He would have excommunicated the whole lot of them, with a generous helping of fire and brimstone on the side.
