Bishop Dolan, chosen by the Holy Spirit to lead the church, is not bound by the laity's all too emotional approach to morality.  Where the laity, modernists and progressives in particular, react emotionally, and think it wrong, even evil, to hide child molestation by priests, thus allowing the abuse to continue, Bishops see thing clearly.  The great harm is the risk of scandal to the One True Church and the loss of clerical prestige.  These are the true injuries and the ones that cause harm to courageous bishops, as recognized by Pope Francis himself.  We are fortunate to have holy men like Bishop Dolan to lead the sheep.  Rather than doubt him, we should simply pray to be allowed to follow his direction.
