First - all of this stuff about Macial and Farrell is way off base.  Farrell left that order decades ago and he should be praised for that.  But, IMO, he is a careerist bishop.

To be fair, many in Dallas have and will continue to praise what Farrell did - and rightly so.  My criticisms have to do with the reality that he was here for ten years - what did he really accomplish when it comes to building community?  He works in what I call a traditional manner - focus on money, stewardship, bricks and mortar.  That is all fine but my criticism is that this should support the mission of the church; not the other way around.
Yes, he bought an expensive home and excused this by saying he needed a place to meet privately with wealthy donors - that says a lot.  Flying around - he has been the financial USCCB person for years and involved in Vatican committees.  He uses his financial template for the USCCB - fundraising and bricks/mortar.  That approach had it upside down.
