They have had a long standing relationship with the local archdiocese that asked their advice on public relations, along with several other "civic leaders". The people asking for the advice are not the ones accused of any wrong-doing. The Saints said they suggested be open and transparent. From my understanding the church has been completely cooperative with the investigations. Y'all are buying into the ridiculous hype of the Associated Press trying to create a story.

Try educating yourself before jumping to all kinds of false conclusions. This is what I HATE about the so-called media today.
You lost me at “The church has been completely cooperative “

If anyone asks you “hey I need advice on how to deal with this child diddling thing” you say no.
There is no circumstance where the answer is anything but no.

Unfortunately, this is true. Doesn't matter what advice the Saints gave, or who initiated the conversation, they are going to be seen as wrong in this situation. It's not going to end well.

And that will come through the legal system, or do you feel that laws are no longer important when it comes to media demands?

If the Saints emails were subpoenaed as part of a case the Saints cannot release that information publicly until a court decides.

Re: Associated Press: NFL’s Saints fight to shield emails in Catholic abuse crisis

Attorneys for about two dozen men suing the church say in court filings that the 276 documents they obtained through discovery show that the NFL team, whose owner is devoutly Catholic, aided the Archdiocese of New Orleans in its “pattern and practice of concealing its crimes.”

This is pretty troubling.

Have you read every post thus far or just jumping on a bandwagon? Discovery involves the request for anything that MAY contain pertinent information. The Saints released a statement saying they only replied to the church's request for advice submitted to them and other civic leaders on how to address public relations. They told them to be open and transparent. The vast majority of the 276 documents were most likely normal communications over the past several years on unrelated topics.

What is troubling to me is how people here on a Saints forum are reacting to an AP story making suppositions based upon no facts. Y'all are acting like Goodell believing the tripe about the non-existent "pay to intentionally injure scheme".

Holy ****!

That’s what the Saints said. How do you know what the vast majority of the other documents likely were? That’s making an assumption.
