IMO, such a 'response' to gross immorality that is directly affecting others (and, necessarily, the organization as a whole) is, in its own way, just as scandalous as the known, wicked behavior. It is akin to the SEC regulators, for example, who download kiddie porn instead of investigating the myriad, monumental crimes taking place right in front of their glazed-over eyes...
Is it a surprise that the one who did the 'study' that gave the CMRI a more or less clean bill of health was...Fr C?
