Compliments abound
I think this is a backhanded compliment to those websites like Stand Firm and TitusOneNine, among others:
If this event is similar to previous gatherings, conservative Web sites and publications may have news earlier than those on the left as bishops on the right have a better understanding of the importance of using sympathetic media outlets to a) maintain an atmosphere of crisis, and b) set the agenda for the mainstream press.
Toward the end of the week keep an eye on the activities of Archbishops Akinola of Nigeria and Orombi of Uganda, both of whom just happen to be in the country this week.
Read it all (and we shall see, perhaps "through a veil darkly").

I did read it all. It seems to be an involved way of saying, "Move along, folks. Nothing to see here." Wishful thinking, IMO.
I think this line says it all, as far as what they want to think: "Finally, don't forget that simply because people would really like something significant to happen in New Orleans doesn't mean that something will. (Or, if something significant does happen, we may not know about it until the archbishop and the joint standing committee make a statement of as yet unknown content at some as yet unknown time.)"
