Editors should be familiar with the Wikipedia standard on verifiability. Statements need footnote reference from reliable source. Sometimes these are newspapers. Sometimes newspapers are simply promoting rumors that sell papers. Please use discretion. Student7 17:03, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
"In 2004, a group of concerned lay Catholics of the Miami Archdiocese constituted themselves a lay "watchdog" organization, under the name Christifidelis. Broward County attorney Sharon Bourassa, a member of Christifidelis, was counsel for The Rev. Andrew Dowgiert in a lawsuit filed against the Archdiocese in May of 2005. In 2005 and 2006, Catholic columnist Matt C. Abbott (of RenewAmerica.us) published several articles tracing developments in what became known as the "Miami Vice" scandal."
1. The article fails to state in what way homosexuality is connected with the rest of the article. What does "Gay" refer to?
2. I have trouble finding Christifidelis on the internet. They may have a presence nationally. I'm not sure there is more than a paper organization in Miami. In short, it is a sham organization for purposes of reporting anything.
4.RenewAmerica.us has a noticeable presence on the web. It is run by Alan Keyes, a right wing columnist/politician. It is heavily biased and therefore not a referenceable site.
5.What "vice?" This is a cute name. But there's nothing here to connect anything to "vice," except the accusations against Dowgiert which the editor apparently disagrees with.
6.None of this seems reportable anyway. So what? Even if Christifidelis is a big organization. Why does this section deserve space? There are 4000 organizations in America all wanting to be heard. And most of them have opinions about the Catholic church. What makes this one so special that it deserves space in Wikipedia?
7.And what is this doing under "Favalora" anyway? I don't see how it ties in with him (except for the mysterious reference to Dowgiert. If encyclopedic in some other way, the Dowgiert reference alone might go here).
8.Anyway, as currently written, the paragraph is incoherent.Student7 20:35, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
I have removed the possibly controversial/BLP-problematic sections, because I am getting email from people throwing around words like "defamatory" and "unfounded accusations." Those editing and adding this content are welcome to join us at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/John Favalora. If they do not, I recommend the issue be taken to arbitration.

Image:Favalora.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

An editor has persisted in adding a WP:POV comment from an unWP:RELYiable source that Favalora resigned "early" due to pressure from the media fallout from a sex scandal. Odd that the WP:RELY media neither noticed nor reported this. Only a blog-ish reference by the "more Catholic than the Pope" source which sees craziness everywhere except in themselves, of course.
