Scandal.
"Which offense is more serious? Denying a lesbian communion at a Catholic funeral? Or a female Episcopalian bishop hitting and killing a bicyclist? The Washington Post has picked (A). In 2012, they splashed across the front page (with a picture) that lesbian activist Barbara Johnson was denied communion at her mother's funeral.
On December 30, the Post buried a hit-and-run-bishop story on page B5 with the headline “Bishop put on leave after fatal crash: Episcopal diocese says Heather Cook drove car that killed bicyclist.”
The No. 2 Episcopal bishop in the Diocese of Maryland has been placed on administrative leave after she was involved in a car crash Saturday that killed a bicyclist.
Bishop Heather Elizabeth Cook, who is the bishop suffragan, or second bishop for the diocese of Maryland, which is headquartered in Baltimore, left the scene but returned later "to take responsibility for her actions," her bishop said in a statement.
Baltimore police said Monday that they are investigating a fatal car crash that killed Thomas Palermo, 41, a father of two and a computer specialist who ran a bike shop out of his garage. Palermo, whose family lives in Baltimore County, was on a recreational ride, said his brother-in-law, Jeff Hulting.
Police did not identify the driver, saying in a statement that they were interviewing a 58-year-old woman who "left the scene but returned back to the scene during the investigation." No charges have been filed.
In an e-mail, police said they had received a number of requests for information about the accident but would not release any additional information at this time "in order not to jeopardize any potential prosecution."
However, Bishop Eugene Taylor Sutton, who leads the diocese, identified Cook as the driver.
In the letter, Sutton said Cook returned to the scene "after about 20 minutes to take responsibility for her actions." However the Baltimore Brew reported that her car had been chased by other bikers and only returned because of that.
"It's a terrible deal," Hulting said of Palermo. "Maybe she just came to her senses and said, 'I have to claim this,' or maybe she realized, 'I won't be able to get away with it.' "
