The authorities may have questioned the girl who it was who advised her to report the crime to them.
The priest’s name then came up.
Well, she is saying that the priest told her that she needed to keep the crime quiet, they are apparently suing the diocese over it. But the priest can’t even admit that he heard her confession at all much less what he told her, even if he wanted to (which I am not saying he does). The priest could be culpable as heck, he could be innocent. But either way it is all going to be the same, right? It’s not like he has the option of saying, ‘of course I will testify, I have nothing to hide,’ even if he really doesn’t have anything to hide he still can’t do anything different than if he is guilty.
