So it's ok to denigrate a woman who may have been the victim of abuse when a child, but we can't say a word against Bernardin and other prelates who have wrecked the Catholic Church for the last thirty years?

The laity bears quite a bit of responsibility for the state of the Church because of the way it jumps through hoops to defend the ecclesiastical gangsters in charge right now. These guys are crooks and worse; the sooner people realize this and stop fawning over every guy in a roman collar or with a pectoral cross, the better. Don't forget that Judas Iscariot was a bishop.

Her story is so bizarre that it suggests mental illness. Remember the hysteria a few years ago about daycare centers where similar stories were told? Many innocent people went to jail on hysterical charges that were untrue or greatly exaggerated.

True satanic abuse is rare. Child abuse is alas common.Sexual abuse is common, But even Freud realized that many of the women who claimed under hypnosis that they were raped were confusing reality with fantasy. Not all memories are accurate.
