It’s Ash Wednesday, and

here were Catholics are down here in Dallas suffering through yet another

round of clerical sex scandals, and a bishop whose mishandling of this

crisis has finally (as of this week) caused the District Attorney to open an

investigation of the Catholic diocese. I’m sick and tired of being sick and

tired of all this, and in my column today, want to know: How come we Catholic

men put up with this nonsense?
