https://www.rawstory.com/2016/06/church-militant-outs-catholic-groups-that-employ-pro-lgbt-workers/Hichborn argues that the Lepanto Institute warned the organizations that he was getting ready to write an article about the two employees, and gave the CRS and the USCCB until noon on Tuesday, May 31 to address and correct the situation. Because both organizations refused to respond to Hichborns letter, he felt he had no choice but to go ahead and publish the information.
The Lepanto Institute works with Church Militant, which is run by Michael Vorhis, who earlier this year publicly thanked God for giving his mother stomach cancer so that Vorhis would stop having sexual relations with homosexual men. Vorhis denies being gay, and claims that he has since consecrated his chastity to the Blessed Mother.

Hichborn argues that his purpose is not to expose individuals, but when a credible problem pertaining to personnel is discovered, we are compelled to follow the leads and make the matter known to the appropriate authorities. When it does not appear that the concern is being taken seriously, our only recourse is to take the matter to the faithful. This explains why he was publicly posting his efforts to have the USCCB discipline an employee for believing that love wins.
Ahh, what would we do without holier-than-thou church busybodies. We even have our very own tiny collection right here on DU waging their battles to protect their church against evildoers.
