Fr. Haley was not tried by Bishop Loverde nor even in the Diocese of Arlington. I read his civil depositions here and Haley seems like a persuasive and good priest. Note that despite his treatment he remains in communion with the pope.

Fr. Haley was ecclesiastically tried at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Philadelphia (Justin Rigali's Archdiocese and well away from Loverde's turf) and the judge was my bishop, Thomas Doran, who also serves on the Signatura, the Vatican's highest court. I certainly hope that the evidence justified acquittal and that he will be acquitted. I will trust my bishop's decision (not yet rendered) in any event unless and until it is overturned on appeal. I suspect that you will judge the matter by the results which is what is wrong with our secular court system.
