Oh, boy. Here we go again. Rod Dreher:
I don’t know how the Post got the story, but chances are someone tipped them off to Moynihan, and they cross-checked property records, phone records, etc. The diocese didn’t want to know what Fr. Moynihan was up to, period. And you need to ask yourself why. Why wouldn’t a diocese want to know if one of its priests, a man it believes hived away a half-million dollars in a secret account, was violating his chastity and celibacy vows and shacking up with a male lover (or, if it came to that, a female lover)?
