What on EARTH was the point of slipping in that last paragraph of completely unrelated information about Fr. Jackson ???? Is this supposed to remind us that - oh, by the way - there are sinners even in traditional communities, lest we don't know anything about human nature and think otherwise?

Is this the new standard at the PIllar we can look forward to - future articles providing overall positive information about a parish, religious order/community or a diocese and the writer will opt to include a last minute tag-on about some previous member brought down by scandal? Just so we know?
I'm not knocking on the reporting the Pillar did about Fr. Jackson previously, or when the Pillar reports on scandal, it's just that that paragraph is completely inappropriate for the gist of this particular article and it was completely unnecessary.
This is such lousy thing to do - this was just stuck in for --- why?? Where the heck was the editor. I would expect this from some place like NCReporter pearl clutching about the growth in TLM communties, but the Pillar should be above slop like this.
It's a reminder that everyone needs to do a serious screen of seminarians and not just let them in because they apply but try to make sure they will be an asset to the priesthood.
