A priest in the Oakland diocese had an affair with a woman for 38 years, but now when she claims sexual abuse, he blames it on bad formation. I think they’re both nuts.

It’s not my contact who hoped he would be bishop, but people who were sympathetic to Joyce’s point of view. He never said they were realistic, just that they saw him as their “hope.”
I don’t understand why you say you don’t believe he had a 38 year affair. Doesn’t he as much as admit it? Or am I missing something?
