    My father-in-law used to say, mess with a skunk and you may win, but you’re going to smell bad anyway.

    Weakland was not only guilty of “maladministration”, but malfeasance of a worse kind. He led his flock away from the tenets of the faith, and publicly thumbed his nose at his Catholic superiors in the bargain.

    The idea that he should get any credibility for his perverted memoir, and be given the power by the likes of the Times to make more trouble for Rome is simply repugnant.
