We are happy to report two new developments in cases of falsely accused priests:
1. A jury in Wisconsin swiftly acquitted Rev. William Nolan after a 26-year-old accuser made the astonishing claim that Nolan had abused him well over a 100 times as recently as a decade ago.
"I'm a Catholic priest. I'm supposed to forgive. I think I can do that, but I will never forget the way [the accuser] has ruined my life," Nolan told local news media.
To say the least, there was a multitude of glaring inconsistencies in the accuser's crazy story, including that the accuser had purportedly seen Nolan naked over 100 times but had failed to mention the large scars over Nolan's chest and legs from heart surgery. The accuser had obviously not been abused.
2. Follow-up: We are pleased to report that a Minnesota appeals court recently upheld a $13,500 jury award to Rev. William C. Graham after the jury found that an accuser had falsely accused him.

Interesting. Thanks for posting.
i never kept up with the story of the bishop in australia, sounded like he might have been wronged by the system
good. I believe the abuse has been wide spread..due to the infiltration of the church but I also believe that some have been falsely accused. Good to see some fighting back.

Those who make false allegations need to be punished BIGLY!
False accusation of a felony should itself be a felony.
