Catholic fringe -- not really Catholic

This one is nutty.

A priest who fathered a child:
"It was tough to top the bizarre inquisition of self-sacrificing American nuns pushed by the disgraced Cardinal Bernard Law. Law, the former head of the Boston archdiocese, fled to a plush refuge in Rome in 2002 after it came out that he protected priests who molested thousands of children."

Also,
"The Rev. Thomas Williams belongs to the Legionaires of Christ, the order founded by the notorious Mexican priest Marcial Maciel Degollado, a pal of Pope John Paul II who died peppered with accusations that he  sexually abused seminarians and fathered several children and abused some of them."

And,
"The Society for Truth and Justice, a fringe Christian anti-abortion group, compared Sebelius to Himmler, and protesters showed up on campus to yell at her for being, as one screamed, “a murderer.” "
And the definition of a Catholic: 'All embracing':
"As James Joyce wrote in “Finnegans Wake:” “Catholic means ‘Here comes everybody.’ ”"
