Rembert Weakland Knew His Saul Alinsky...

 During the height of the priest-predators scandal here in Milwaukee, Rembert Weakland employed a Saul Alinsky-written tactic.

..."DARVO (an acronym for "Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender") is a reaction that perpetrators of wrongdoing, such as abusers or sexual offenders, may display in response to being held accountable for their behavior. Research indicates that it is a common manipulation strategy of psychological abusers.

DARVO is a tactic used by a perpetrator to avoid accountability for their actions. As the acronym suggests, DARVO commonly involves these steps:

1. The perpetrator denies the harm or abuse ever took place.

2. When confronted with evidence, the perpetrator then attacks the person that they had harmed, or are still harming. The attacker may also attack the victim's family or friends.

3. Finally, the perpetrator claims that they were or are actually the victim in the situation, thus reversing the positions of victim and offender. It often involves not just playing the victim but also victim blaming."...Wiki, quoted at RedState

 Precisely what Weakland tried to pull off when he stated that the raped boy 'tempted' the priest-rapist.

Shouldn't surprise you or me that Weakland was a devoted disciple of Alinsky, should it?  But Catholic Bishops are not supposed to employ Alinsky-ite tactics, are they?
