No question there is a sex abuse victim cottage industry operating out there. Anyone remotely familiar to the American justice system should take it for granted that the bulk of the claims are pure fraud, just like the bulk of sexual harassment, product safety, and environmental damage cases are pure fraud.

This is not to say that there aren't true victims, just that the public perception that any Catholic priest is almost certainly a gay pedophile is a media-manufactured falsehood.

Let us recall Father Benedict Groschel, who was vilified and booted from catholic media for suggesting that the anti-Catholic hysteria is a huge hoax.

Father Benedict Groschel is one of the greatest Catholic priests that ever lived.
