Position Clarification
Posted by Cory Tucholski on September 10, 2007
A reader named Brian has left comments on some of my Father Leyland articles–here, here, and here–and his comments demonstrate he has not read this post, which makes it abundantly clear that I am on Father Leyland’s side, and that I understand that the Bishop’s decision was solely a political move to silence a detractor.
I will admit to not knowing about the Father Nuss situation until after I posted the article where I speculated that he may have turned the pastorate down because he was afraid that he would not be an effective leader, and where I lamented that he might have otherwise missed out on a growth experience. I know the real reason, and I am appalled that a man in his position would abuse it such, though the hierarchy of Catholic priests in this country is ripe with many example of pedophilia and abuse of power (Bernard Cardinal Law, anyone?).
Perhaps this is another documented example of how the people who speak for Rome don’t bother to check all of the writing that a person has done on a particular issue? Last I checked, my search function in the upper right corner is fully operational and requires only for a potential user to type “FATHER LEYLAND” into it for a rundown of all the articles that I posted in relation to him.
