Not Every Priest Accused of Sex Abuse Was Guilty

The Lying, Scheming Altar Boy

One thing, though, that seemed to be sadly consistent was the willingness of bishops to either cover up for the real predators or throw good priests with no evidence under the bus based on unsubstantiated accusations. It was easier to settle out of court and hush everything up than stand up for the truth. And that is part of the reason we're in the mess we're in.

Remember when you hear about the sex abuse scandals the other scandal in the story -- persecution and destruction of the reputations of innocent priests.

Pray for all innocent priests who suffered grave injustice because of their refusal to perjure themselves in plea bargains.
