You hit the nail on the head, Mater. They made a mountain out of a molehill and proceeded to scourge innocent people over it. Kathleen merely reported what the bishop said. She did not take sides. Then accusations started flying like machine gun bullets and the next thing we know we are being invited to start a march for Catholic "rights". Spare ,me. I have seen the results of too many "rights" activists to never want that visited on anyone, never mind the Church.
AMDG the answer to that question is NO. We can't answer you because the whole question is fabrication. Based on a falsehood. But God forbid it should be called a lie.
