If you read the original affidavit, the Bishop confiscated equipment on 4/24, revisited on 4/25, and had his temper tantrum/door slamming/threatening behavior on 4/26. Mother Superior went to the ER that night with a high fever and extreme stress. Three days in a row culminating with a raised voice starts to smell like harassment to me. It is nauseating that he released the recording of him sounding soft-voiced when the affidavit tells a different story. But I guess we'll never know. And nothing will happen because he "cleaned up his mess."

Well, Mother did change her story within that time and begin saying (as newspapers reported) that she had not sinned against chastity. I can see that frustrating the Bishop. I’m not saying he handled himself well. I lived in his diocese for awhile so I’m very aware of his “style” which rubs lots of people the wrong way. But I’m just reaching the place of feeling like he’s not the only one who made this a mess here.

Definitely not the only one, but he's supposed to be the example of charity and leadership...

He is an example of a fake and one who would do well to remove himself from office because no one else will!
