Well, only if the people who received the correspondence are willing to 
share it.  We read what's been made publicly available; we "rifle through" 
what's in the open.  And while you may feel that your "enemies" lack good 
taste or decency for paying attention to what you do, it's your friends who 
are putting the information out where we can all see it.   The flow of 
charges "manufactured out of private pastoral correspondence" would soon dry 
up if nothing were shared.

Why might members of Christ Church (present or former) feel that these 
documents are of interest to the larger community?  Why aren't the 
Methodist, Presbyterian, Episcopal, Unitarian, Nazarene, Impact, Rock, and 
Catholic churches in Moscow experiencing the same information flow problem?

Have you ever used a pressure cooker?  They're fitted with steam valves 
which allow excess pressure to escape safely; when you block up that valve, 
you turn up the heat at your own risk.  Sometimes the darned things explode, 
when the pressure from within is greater than the strength of the container.
