"Within the next week, two doctors cleared Geoghan for parish duty, according to an archdiocesan chronology that is in court files. It reads: “12/11/84 Dr. [Robert] Mullins - Father Geoghan `fully recovered.’ . . . 12/14/84 Dr. [John H.] Brennan: “no psychiatric contraindications or restrictions to his work as a parish priest.”
But, of course, NO ONE blames the medical profession for being wrong. Instead, everyone tells the Church, "You should NOT have followed SETTLED SCIENCE!"
And the science of the time WAS settled - according to the medical professionals then, they could cure it. They were experts, after all.
So, when the Church questions science, She's wrong, and when the Church accepts science She is wrong. Nice double standard you got there.
The Church should have talked to law enforcement officals as well. They would have told them that people like Geoghan always return to their vomit like clockwork.
