Mantle of charisma

The article by Bill Dries has the following quote: 

"St. Charles is the most prominent and in some ways the most polarizing figure in a child sexual abuse scandal that simmered for years before going public in July 2004 with two civil lawsuits filed in Shelby County Circuit Court against two other priests."

I can account for the polarizing concept of Paul St. Charles.  I have heard so many people defend him as the "best pastor" we ever had.  This praise was from some parishioners at Church of the Ascension in Memphis. 

Paul St. Charles has ties to the entire state of Tennessee from east to west. 

Did they know that their children were in danger from the man?  Did they know that he was scouting for boys to molest?  Read the entire article in the Memphis Daily News magazine.  It will sicken you. 

The mantle of charisma is now torn and shredded.
