Because this disgraceful sin had been attributed to him without evidence. Now that I have seen evidence --- and from public sources at that, so it seems it is not "secret" sin --- it is apparently not a slander.

I say "it seems" and "apparently" because I don't know how to evaluate these Italian press sources. You'll notice if you google phrases, that a good many of them have the same original source (they all repeat identical phrases and sentences in the same order) ---- which suggests it isn't, say, 200 sources, but one source being recycled 200 times.

However, as an American, and of course as a Catholic, I must deem a person innocent absent evidence to the contrary. I know you understand that.

Rash judgment, detraction and slander are so epidemic against Catholics, and so poisonously destructive, that I am becoming much more vigilant about it.

Detraction is something I have been guilty of, and have confessed, and it's no a "minor" sin. It's a killer.

Well, it seems you were the one who made the rash judgement (against me), not I against Ricca. Think about that.
