"overreactions"..."Bishop Ambrose"...

This is no apology! It's like the pathological wife-beater apologizing for not helping wash the dishes!

No, a true apology would be contrition for his complete lapse in discernment which allowed himself to be taken in by a con-man, and for placing his flock in grave spiritual danger, nothing less.

Listening to Fr. Hewko sermon It reminded me of an Jєωιѕн scholar who apologized in public for the killing of Jesus Christ

There's a picture of the moment he says he's "sorry"

That just can't be his real nose!!

But he uses the example of Fr. Hannifin having many visiting priests, NO to Orthodox, that he would pray for, try to instruct and convert. It sounds like he's trying to pass off Moran's situation as similar. Somehow that rings hollow to me. If Boston were more settled and weren't hurting for a bishop's involvement, then I'd be much more inclined to believe this was a neutral visit of conversion and tolerance (in the Catholic sense) rather than someone whose authority they were actively seeking or at least exploring.

The glaring difference between what Fr. Hannifin did and what Frs. P & H are doing now is, Fr. Hannifin didn't invite questionable bishops to say Mass at the Pfeiffer's farm, in an attempt to convert a bishop.

I have to admit I gave a thumbs up for the picture.

Dear Motorede, catholicunity has been banned.
It might be best if you don't proliferate his infamous images.

Motorede you are a well-read person. Surely you remember the story of Pinnochio.

I'm trying to listen now, but it's a bit muffled. All I heard so far was he said people were over-reacting. So this is an apology where he begins by talking about other people's wrongs?

I turned it off. At least here it is muffled. I can't understand what he is saying.

At minute 6:25 it clears up a lot, maybe the microphone was covered up or something.
