I guess it's a minor point, but it really scorches me that these people think they have any *right* to have their reputations protected, that they think they deserve it.

According to the Catechism of our Catholic Church, every human being has the right to the protection of their reputation; this includes both the living and the dead, and even includes ordained people and even sinners. See Catechism #2477-2479.
