Thank you for sayin that. It is wrong to slime any person with baseless vile slander -— even (or especially) if that person is a priest.
The hatred some here have for the Catholic church is chilling. It closes their minds to any charity. I know it is hard to be charitable towards sinners especially those who were held up as examples of virtue. But we owe it to be servants of the truth and that includes not lying about those we find reproachable. Even if it means a pause in church bashing.
