Reply to comment by subzero112001 in Defrocked Catholic priest accused of molesting a boy still runs charity for kids by kangarooturd

What makes you think he was falsely accused? Did you read the article? It said nothing like that.

He was defrocked after being accused of sexual assault and investigated by the church. He didn’t quit- he was fired.

According to a woman who has investigated hundreds of these cases he has followed a classic pattern for offenders.

Lastly, given the Catholic Church and its priests actions surrounding the rape of children and the concealment of said rapes it would be insane to give them the benefit of the doubt.

If he’d been accused of sexual assault, defrocked, and moved on to being a line cook, maybe.

He was accused of sex crimes against children, investigated, defrocked, and then chose to…. work with children.

In my opinion I think your statement that he was “falsely accused” demonstrates breathtaking naïveté.

“What makes you think he was falsely accused?”

Probably the fact that it was a random board of religious people who made the judgement of “guilty” instead of using actual forensics to determine culpability.

“He was fired”

Being fired doesn’t mean you are guilty. It just means that keeping you around would make that group “look bad”. It’s a publicity thing. Aka societal manipulation.

“Given the Catholic Church and its priests actions surrounding rape”

It’s odd that you think that the Catholic Church is more likely to commit rape compared to other random people. I have yet to see any evidence which suggests that the Catholic Church has the monopoly on rape.

“He was accused….then continued to work with children”

A person should stop trying to help others if they’ve ever been falsely accused of a crime. Your logic is undeniable. /s

You’re basing this entire thing around an accusation that wasn’t proven in any way shape or form using any evidence based forensics or analysis or any legitimate standard.

Talk about mob mentality and mob justice huh?

But I guess people only care about due process when it’s themself getting the short end of the stick…….sigh….

I had a whole argument typed out but, you know what?

Fuck it.

You let this guy work with your kids. I’ll take mine somewhere else.

Have a nice night.

Yeah, it’s always easier to put your hands over your ears and ignore the other person than try to have a conversation. Good luck with that.

There’s no conversation to be had here, it’s a waste of both of our times.

A member of an organization, which has repeatedly lied about and covered up sexual assault of minors by its members was credibly accused of sexual assault. After being investigated the organization- and let me repeat this, this organization is notorious for covering up and hiding this exact thing- fired this person.

This person then immediately sought another job working with children.

You look at that chain of events, and think “this person was falsely accused“.

I look at it and say “typical Catholic Church, deflection and victim, seeking behavior by the offender“.

There’s nothing to talk about.

Your conclusion is based upon a supposedly untrustworthy group(the church) yet you’re saying their actions of firing this person is somehow trustworthy enough to condemn him.

How can you not see the blatant contradictions?
