Archbishop Hunthausen, for all his other flaws, really seems to have taken sex abuse seriously. As a priest of Seattle, I regularly pray for his soul, in thanksgiving that under his leadership we had already done most of the cleanup before Spotlight hit. I hope this optimism does not come back to haunt me, but I really don't think the AG will find anything we have not already discussed in some form. And what he does find will likely be spurious and unsubstantiated.
We really shouldn't overlook that line that the AG is running for governor. It should be no surprise that the press conference happened - not when the investigation began - but weeks before a Democratic primary in which he has a serious contender.
His name was practically a curse word in some of the circles I've traveled in...but I've also learned there's more than a few folks around Helena who have fond memories of him. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, rest in peace.
