Many American Catholic sources took sides in the Gaillot affair. Newspapers such as the National Catholic Reporter reported favorably of the bishop; other sources such as EWTN responded to the ordeal in a more negative manner, choosing to associate Bishop Gaillot with heresy and describing his appointment as a "terrible mistake".

“Results are what you expect, and consequences are what you get.”
