IT'S THOSE BIG BAD NASTY BLOGGERS
Archbishop Niederauer thinks the problem at Most Holy Redeemer Parish isn't the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence who received communion from him, it's the videographers who caught it on tape and the bloggers who spread the news around the web:
The Archdiocese of San Francisco is finally speaking out about the debacle at Most Holy Redeemer where Archbishop George Niederauer gave Communion to two Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. The problem is, the Archbishop and priest of the diocese aren’t focusing their heat on MHR, they’re taking shots the people who caught the incident on video and who are writing about it on the internet. ...
Fr. Godfrey then went after the videographers by saying "I thought it was disrespectful for somebody to go to another church with the intention of filming it," he added, "without asking the pastor permission to do that and, second, with the intention of using that in a hostile way, without having a conversation first with the pastor. On the face of it, they were out to get the archbishop."
