MATT ABBOTT'S COLUMN
Over there he notes the passing of writer Gerald Renner, probably best known in Catholic circles for co-authoring VOWS OF SILENCE: THE ABUSE OF POWER IN THE PAPACY OF JOHN PAUL II which focuses on the cover-up of priestly sexual abuse. May Gerald Renner rest in peace.
Abbott also notes that Stephen Brady is out of the hospital and at home recovering from injuries received when colliding with a deer while riding his motorcycle.
A third item on Abbott's agenda is a blog by Gerald Augustinus of "The Cafeteria is Closed" in which Augustus attempts to show empathy for homosexuals. Abbott has requested Father Richard Perozich, pastor of St. Mary Catholic Church in Escondido, Calif., to comment on it. The bulk of Abbott's column is devoted to Father Perozich's response.
