Well, it's particularly dirty because the priest is under the Seal of Confession, so the gay guy can attack him and even lie with impunity, and the priest can't say a word. He's gagged under Canon Law Notice that his "inavailability" to comment is interpreted as evasion.

It just struck me how this is the perfect way to malign priests: because they can't comment or defend themselves, under pain of excommunication.

Expect a lot more of this.

It's reminiscent of the plot of Alfred Hitchcock's movie "I Confess."
