Now it is your job to defame by association? What is your problem, sinkspur. What is it about popular Catholic priests and religious that makes you want to destroy their reputation and rubbish their character?

Cardinal Law was "popular" among Catholics. So were many of the priests who abused countless young men.

Either the accusations outlined in the two articles are true, or they're not. If they're not, then Groeschel should come out and deny them. If he didn't tell a young sexual abuse victim who came to him for help to "stop persecuting a good man," he should deny it.

If they are true, Groeschel should say he's sorry for participating in one of the most shameful episodes in the history of the Catholic Church.

That's all he needs to do.

Jealousy is your answer, Siobhan. Sinkspur is very jealous because there are virtually no AmChurch Kumbayas in any danger of sainthood. His vague complaint is in the nature of "We're all made of the same clay, you know!" That argument is almost NEVER true and certainly not in this case and if that's the best argument a critic can make, it's not much of an argument.
