The Archdiocese certainly deny any knowledge of a smear effort:

Also, comments closed, but this could be legally treacherous, and these days they only allow comment on opinion pieces, which this article is not. The Catholic Herald is a UK paper, now weekly, and would be more conservative than a lot of notable publications.

From Wiki:

Voris attended the University of Notre Dame, graduating in 1983 with a degree in communications with a focus on history in politics. He also attended two years of seminary training at St. Joseph's Seminary in New York during the 1980s.[3] Between 1983 and 1986 he became a television anchor, producer and reporter for various CBS affiliates in New York, Albany, Duluth and Cheyenne.[4] In 1989 he became a news reporter and producer for a Fox affiliate in Detroit, where he won four Emmy Awards for production between 1992 and 1996.[4]

In 1997 he began operation of an independent television production company called Concept Communication, LLC. This limited liability company was registered by co-owners Gary Michael Voris and John Fitzpatrick Mola with the State of Michigan on July 8, 1997.[5] Shortly thereafter on July 23, 1997, Voris and Mola registered a video with the US Copyright Office titled "Double Trouble".[6] The nature of the content of this video is not known as it does not appear to have been released publicly.
