Catholic Free Press publishes Father James Aquino story on page three.

WORCESTER (MA)
Worcester Voice

The headline in the Catholic Free Press article states that "BISHOP MCMANUS CONTINUES TO EVALUATE FATHER AQUINO CASE."

Where are the tough questions that our leaders of the Worcester diocese should be asking?

The story reads of a typical diocesan approach to sexual situations, weaving a story of half-truths and one-sided presentations with bible verses used as a supporting cast.

The article minimizes the incident stating that only a criminal citation was issued. If this was of an insignificant nature, why did Father Aquino not inform Bishop Robert McManus when he returned from Las Vegas vacation with his friend, Monsignor Louis P. Piermarini in October 2004?
