The J-R then gave the bishop a chance to respond directly to the letter, and the bishop said simply that the priest (who had encouraged the bishop to read a wider range of sources on Islamic history) was just plain wrong. Soon thereafter, the bishop used his column in the diocesan newspaper to take the priest letter-writer to task and to thump his chest about how very right he had been in his denunciation of Muslims in his Christmas Eve homily.<br /><br />As a struggling sinner myself, I realize it may be difficult for Bishop Paprocki to come to terms with his sin and the scandal he has caused (whether he realizes he caused scandal or not). He needs prayers.
