Oh yeah. You are definitely not living in the real world if you think they need compelling evidence.

Edenton, NC comes to mind along with several other cases in which satanic abuse was charged.

I can't tell you the people whose lives have been ruined by allegations of this garbage through "recovered" memories.

I will no longer deal with children after watching these witchhunts. This 40 year old's story sounds very much like one of those "multiple personalities," with "dissociative" symptoms. Very scary. No proof is needed, just a therapists notes and an imaginative patient.

Thanks for the "real world" tip. No need to personalize.
Um...Satanists DO target Catholics, btw. Just to keep you up to speed on "reality" and the aggression of secret societies and deranged cults.
We'll see how this pans out. Whether it goes in the "Maria Monk" can or the way of Paul Shanley and that outrageous display of sodomite neo-Catholicism in Boston papered over by the decadent hierarchy.

Granted, in all those day-care child abuse cases of the 80s, the therapists themselves implanted the notion in the children's minds. I'm in Boston, and Gerald Amirault is only now, after 17 years, about to be released. He was convicted in spite of absolutely no physical evidence to back up the children's stories.

In the present case, though, the woman's claims did nothing except, through the occurrence of this priest's name, re-open the case. He was not arrested on the basis of her story. The priest had originally been a suspect, but without the development of the blood transfer imaging (IIRC the term) the police couldn't prove it at the time.
