The First Sunday of the Thieves

[VirtueOnline] July 21, 2005--The TV trucks came early. But they didn't beat the suits. The suits were there much earlier; in case the criminals tried to come.

You know which criminals: the ones they had to lock and bar the doors against; the ones they needed 24 hr guards for; -- you know, the parishioners.

The diocesan spin doctor was there - VERY busy spinning away with the media all morning. The interviews were highly orchestrated. They didn't get it, you know. The media that is. They forgot to turn around and look. Look at the license plates from Massachusetts and New York right there in the parking lot around them.

Friends of the bishop came - they know the game - bump up the numbers - people like the former dean of the cathedral. The media didn't look at all the suits milling around.

Right off, anyone from St. John's would know, 'cause our family doesn't generally wear suits, we're more casual than that. They never asked the questions. If they had they would have known.
