Another catholic bastard caught.

[Entropist]

“The bishop will resign next year, so actually it would be better for you to wait,” the cardinal told the victim. “I don’t think you’d do yourself or him a favor by shouting this from the rooftops.” The cardinal warned the victim against trying to blackmail the church and suggested that he accept a private apology from the bishop and not drag “his name through the mud.”

The cardinal is worse than the bishop, playing on all kinds of guilt the victim has gone through (and still is).

And as for the proverbial "mud," this was mud of the bishop's own making. There's a difference between telling the ugly truth and slander. Not that the Catholic church has been interested in truth, ugly or otherwise.
