"The life and career of John Cardinal Wright is a perfect example of how a sexually active homosexual priest or bishop can rise to the top and stay there: an entrenched protective brotherhood (much like police departments) and a tacit understanding that whistle-blowing is a career killer"

See my recent post on Pittsburgh’s Bishop Wright: “Lip Service: John Cardinal Wright Gives Himself a Celibacy Dispensation.” Pittsburgh must have been a congenial posting if you were a sexually active homosexual priest in the 1960s.
1969: Fr. Ginder’s apartment is raided by police. They discover photos of Ginder and others in homosexual sex acts. The Diocese negotiates Ginder’s release from jail and he is put on ten years’ probation.
1969: Bishop John Wright is promoted or “kicked upstairs” to a Vatican appointment.
