You better believe that some of the accusations are false and that some innocent priests have had their lives and reputations ruined because of them.
But my question is, Is it just to force a diocese to sell its assets, especially parishes and schools, in order to pay the legal settlement to the victims of abuse? How does harming lay Catholics by closing schools and parishes make up for the abuse that these victims allegedly suffered? Would that satisfy justice or would it merely satisfy a desire for vengeance? I think it is the latter.

Please make a serious attempt to read for meaning and/or be factual.
