I missed seeing the ff John Allen post earlier, but I want to post it for the record. In it, Allen blogs on a comparison between the Holy Fahter's presentation of the sex abuse scandal in his Dec. 20 address to the Roman Curia and the views of a dissident priest, Fr. Thomas Doyle, who has collaborated actively with lawyers prosecuting the Church on behalf of abuse victims. Allen himself acknowledges the disparity of the side by side comparison but makes it nonetheless - wthout any attempt to rebut the outrageous allegations made by Doyle, whose 'side' is presented as the summary of a 22-point memo he sent Allen commenting on Allen's previous presentation in November of a zsession he and George Weigel had for a Washington DC group, in which both of them weighed in on the Vatican's general and sometimes disastrous communications failures.... Allen's very title, 'Benedict XVI and Tom Doyle on the sex abuse crisis' is objectionable and almost offensivelky presumptuous, in that it assumes the reader must know who 'Tom Doyle' is, that he must be as much a household name as Benedict XVI...

NCR keeps all of John Allen's poss online indefinitely, so I will forego posting the actual blog which is mostly unpleasant. My main objection to Doyle and his ilk is that they are completely blinded by their animus against the Church and will not see anything good whatsover about her, especially not in anything that has to do with the sex abuses by priests. How can Doyle and priests like him call themselves Christian if they lack the least modicum of charity in them?
