He's not the only one. I know someone, not even a priest, who was forced from a job due to an incident that was really more of a gentlemanly good deed than anything else. There was zero abuse. Knowing all parties involved, there was an alterior motive and the accusation was used as an excuse.

Fr. Corapi is correct in that the system put in place by the bishops is fatally flawed. More innocent, good men have been hurt and maligned to the point of broken hearts than have been proven guilty. The whole reaction to the Scandal and the measures put in place for "justice" have been anything but. This is one case where the wisdom of the Church in carefully and deliberately thinking through the issue and being sure it is done correctly to the point of being glacial was ignored much to everyone's detriment.

We put a window into our priest’s office, at his request. Some priests have taken to having a camera w/o sound and not aimed at the face for confession.
