Did you read the article at all? Hayes never put a statement out. Said statement was put together and released on Hayes behalf by someone else within his party at the time. Hayes, currently recovering from a stroke, couldn’t do much about it.

So it was most likely the Church itself using his illness as an opportunity to sever what had been an embarrassing link for them?

I mean this is kind of releiving? Its like instead of thinking a person was stupid, now we just think the group we already thought was stupid is stupid.
