April 17, 1990

We the undersigned Priest wish to express our objection to the front page picture of Father Robert Kelley in the Saturday issue of March 31, 1990.  For the priest who pleaded guilt and for all who were involved, this curt procedure and sentence were tragic enough.  The use of such a picture was sensational and in poor taste.  It added to the heavy pain already felt by the entire Catholic Community and its priests.
