I have little to say...
The best iteration on what has happened:

My brief thoughts:
Philippians 2:8 "He humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death - even death on a cross." I think, he's trying his best to follow this without dragging the Church down with him. He's just not doing that good with the humbling himself part. I pray no one follows him away from the Church as a result of his decision.
Though, I am going to miss him and keep him in my prayers. His message always stood out for me because he did the one thing that so many people (especially Catholics (me especially!)) find hard to do. Despite having a screwed up past, he's trying to be a positive example, and that in itself is a representation of the forgiveness with which Christ entrusted His Church.
Additionally, the responses to potential scandals tend to be something I disagree with because they feel more about image than about truth... but that is me possibly just reaching for a forbidden fruit of knowledge because I do not know what is going on in the background. Unlike Adam and Eve's basic failure, I must learn to place faith and trust in those placed in authority over me.
That's all.
