NH Legislator Calls Bishop a \"Pimp\"

Mark Silk, at Spiritual Politics, has the story of GOP House Majority Leader B.J. Bettencourt calling N.H. Bishop McCormack a "pedophile pimp," which is not exactly how I would put it, Bishop McCormack's involvement in the sex abuse cover-up in Boston notwithstanding. Now, Bettencourt has apologized, sort of, but still fails to draw the kind of distinctions that we more liberal Catholics get chastized for all the time.
In the event, Bishop McCormack is 75 now and will be retiring very soon. Mr. Bettencourt, who is only 27, should be encouraged to think about early retirement.
