text: The first casualty in war is Truth.  Our Holy Bishops are waging a war for religious freedom and for the very soul of the Nation.  Truth must be sacrificed for the greater good and the achievement of victory.  This is an unfortunate reality that our Bishops recognize and have embraced.  Jesus will understand.  Lying was a very successful strategy used by the Bishops in combating the scandal caused by victims of predatory priests seeking justice against the Courageous Bishops' wishes.
