Omnibill has a cri de couer about the execrable Phoenix bishop. Here's my two cents: the beating heart of Catholic ethics is Aristotelian. It is based on the idea that virtue is the habit of making correct choices between the extremes. Vice is similarly a habit. Certainly, the example of the hit and run bishop is proof the truth of this ethical intuition. The bishop was obviously a man with a habit of making self-indulgent choices.
