text: Has he been very vengeful and ultra-conservative with you?  Can you give examples how this has manifested itself or are you merely repeating unsubstantiated hearsay?
  
  I find him to be a demanding administrator with uncompromising standards.  Do you think it is easy being a bishop in today's day and age where the media jump at every allegation to take down the Catholic Church, be it abuse of minors, the elderly, financial malfeasance, and any other improprieties by clerics?  He has an obligation as head of the organization to investigate and review all facts. He's not taking part in a popularity conquest.
  
  As for me, I have had personal dealings with him, going to him hat in hand, laying out facts, and asking for his support.  He has been nothing but kind, gracious and generous to a fault.
