Diocese of Scranton, Ctd.

Andrew,

As a follow-up to your note about Rev. Edward Lyman from the Diocese of Scranton, I note that the Rev. Robert Timchak was in court today regarding charges he accessed child pornography, after the Diocese was tipped off about it through an anonymous letter:

This is the same Diocese in which the former Bishop (Joseph Martino) resigned due to stress--probably due to his unceasing efforts against gay marriage (including telling a Catholic university it was failing in its Catholic identity by having a gay rights speaker on campus) as well as against Barack Obama's election:

But hey--Joe Biden is from here!
