There is public rebuke and then there is PUBLIC REBUKE...
Dragging this guy all over the US press is pointless... He made an ass of himself, people do this all the time.
Yes he is a Monsignor and he conduct should be looked into... however, the level at which he will be scrutinized FAR outweighs the level of his actions.
The only reason this story is getting any coverage is that it is titlilating... If I felt for a moment that it was anything other than. "Did you hear the one about the priest who got pissed and started grabbing bobbies and crotches" I might feel differently.
Now. If it turned out that this guy has a pattern of getting hopped up on chemicals and acting like this, I would say bring on the SCRUTINY. He would deserve to be outed.
However, with little context to his actions this man will be hung out to dry. Any retraction or additional information brought to bear will be lost in the glare of tomorrow's titilation...
