She's the one shining the light on the darkness, you all are just doing her work.

In the meantime, how curious that Cardinal O'Malley hasn't addressed the inappropriate Blog posts from Fr. Boutin. I'm particularly concerned about mandated reporting of child abuse. I am getting the impression that this isn't taken seriously in Boston.Samanthanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-46644896235455187582010-08-21T06:21:54.431-07:002010-08-21T06:21:54.431-07:00Wow!

The sale of Caritas Christi is merely the tip of the iceberg. That Father Hehir has not been fired is deeply disturbing. That Fr. Boutin could author a "Men in Black" Blog challenging the Church's teaching and pastoral practice while publically holding Cardinal Bertone up to ridicule is nothing short of incredible.
