The Scottish Herald reports that it is a former lover of Cardinal Keith O'Brien who outed the now retired Archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh.
The article points out that the complainant is a priest now working on mainland Europe.
Revenge, conniving, hurt.
There are no answers to human nature but so much of this pain might well be avoided.
Our church needs to be a more honest place, kinder too. The spoof is intolerable. The more sophisticated the spoof, the more likely it is rewarded with promotion.
Often it is said that women are the jealous ones. So wrong. Men are the experts. And nowhere is jealousy more evident than among priests. And all done in the nastiest of ways. And ever so polished. It can even sound eloquent and eerily kind.
Sad and pitiful too.
Pray God Pope Francis will see the story.

"Pray God Pope Francis will see the story?" And what'll he do? Keith O'Brien needs the love of his good friends and family now. That'll see him through. I hope he has another boyfriend and that he's kind and good to him.
