The stinging criticism, which questions the religious beliefs and moral behavior of the priests who signed a letter in December calling for Law's resignation, comes from two of the nation's most prominent conservative Catholic intellectuals and has been applauded by some who think liberals have exploited the clergy sexual abuse scandal to push changes in the church.

One of the critics, papal biographer George Weigel, in a column published by the archdiocesan newspaper, branded the 58 priests ''men who had repeatedly and publicly denied the Church's teaching on the moral truth.'' The other critic, the Rev. Richard John Neuhaus, a conservative author,suggested that some of the signers are part of a ''subculture of infidelity.''

Good thing the inquisition is over..

"subculture of infidelity." Would that include pedophile priests and their enablers?

The Church is sick, sick, sick.

What kind of sick society would sit back and allow this kind of shit to go on? How dare these sick liberals critisize the totally objective moral truth. Thinking for yourself is a no-no, these priests must be taught the unwritten 11th commandment, with extreme prejudice.

Maybe you missed the point they tried to make and this would make you part of the problem. Their point was not made to defend the priest but to highlight the ulterior motive behind their demand for the resignation of Cardinal Law. Personally I don't care what they do with him but if I put your response on the slippery slope they should all get aquitted for "non related cause."
