On the day the whole VGR *scandal* broke, a reporter from one of the NY tabloids parked herself right outside the seminary front entrance, and I was the first person she was able to nab as I was coming home. Her question was phrased in such a way that it was clear to me that she had NO CLUE about TEC or what was really happening, so I stood there and explained it to her very simply. Later I was worried about how she might misuse what I said, but surprisingly, she got it right.<br /><br />But I've never had anyone call me up to ask me anything b/c I was clergy. The big city paper in this diocese has a pretty good religion reporter who has a good working relationship with one of the bishops, so he just goes right to the top. That's true in my (much smaller) diocese of canonical residence as well.Rev Dr Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11607665272056430039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14608528.post-43354474062412871962009-07-06T19:46:09.317-04:002009-07-06T19:46:09.317-04:00when in doubt, put hands on hips, be sweetly whims...when in doubt, put hands on hips, be sweetly whimsical, and ask for an autograph by the key person in charge of the effort...say "whose idea was this in the first place, anyhows?"
