What Diocesean media...most of those outlets have been closed to input for years...not just from wacky minded abortion loving Catholics, but from the initialed people you mention above.  

I agree totally with your last sentence.  Ours shut down too, when someone insinuated abortion was acceptable. 

I don't think that many conservative Catholics spend that much time around the diocese and parish offices, too busy having children, doing carpool, scouts, or working two jobs. 

I don't even know what a Cappa Magna (or a CM admirer) is!

With regard to reconciliation....it doesn't make a difference how many initials he or she had after his or her name...if he/she is not teaching what the Church teaches on a topic like reconciliation, it should find its way to the trashcan.

It's the bishop's job to teach.  Not even his priests have authority to teach outside of his approval/reach.  The don't have any power to teach in the eyes of the Church.  They receive it from the Bishop.
