Making it too easy
Just as former Oklahoma Governor Frank Keating steps down from his post monitoring reforms in the Catholic Church, due to his frustration in working with some bishops, Phoenix Bishop, Thomas O'Brien is arrested for allegedly committing a hit-and-run felony. According to the AP, O'Brien had also struck a deal with regard to sex abuse investigations.

Were it not for the sex abuse crisis in the Church, O'Brien's alleged actions would simply be passed off as bad judgment. Now, however, O'Brien's bad judgment is linked with all the other troubles afflicting the Catholic Church.

What’s next? Priests involved in the dumping of ImClone Stock? Clergy involved in Spam email pyramid schemes?
