Brom himself was accused of hanky panky with seminarians at a seminary in Winona, Minnesota and seems to have been very much a part of the problem he's now trying to clean up.
I am not sure what to think about Cardinal Bernardin (personally not a fan), but I will say that the Bishop of San Diego brought this upon themselves. There is a reason that St. Augustine said that the “Road to hell is paved with the skulls of Bishops.” We have had some seriously bad leaders who have allowed such a shameful act to occur. We will be paying for it for a long time after.
