But they haven’t been convicted in court. Nevertheless the list of names is easy to find online. Harrisburg’s list, that is.
Looking at the Harrisburg list, it appears to run the gamut from Priests who have been convicted or against whom there is very solid evidence for the charge, and others who were the focus of an online accusation years after they had left their parish.
It looks like they cast a very wide net in order to boost the total numbers. I think at least some of these Priests may have a case for being slandered.
True and the cases should go to trial.
Yet, the men themselves know if they are guilty and if they are, they should man up and admit the guilt and take the consequences.
