> Like many dioceses in North America, the archdiocese \[of St. Paul, Minnesota\] has been plagued by the scandal of priestly sexual abuse. The diocese is unique however, in that a movement of faithful Catholic lay men has chosen to publicly confront the scandal, not by demanding - as do most such groups - that the Catholic Church become more liberal and abandon priestly celibacy, but by direct confrontation and demands for faithfulness.

I applaud the effort. Unfortunately, I have found the hierarchy insufferably arrogant in their attitude toward laymen, so I doubt the clergy will give a rip what a bunch of lay bumpkins think.
