The Predator Priest With No Name

Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments as follows:

It is not at all uncommon these days to read about unnamed accusers fingering priests, dead or alive. But now we have a new case that tops them all.

A man who claims he was abused in 1984 has sued the Fort Worth Diocese and the entire Pallottine religious order. The accuser, who has been in prison for over a decade, says he cannot remember the priest's name. If this isn't bizarre enough, the accuser is in the slammer for sexual abuse.

Between 2009 and 2010, there was a 42 percent increase in false claims made against priests. The Fort Worth case proves beyond a reasonable doubt the precarious state that all priests find themselves in during these vindictive times.

What is at work is a sick admixture of hate, greed and bald-faced lies.

  1. Thanks for sharing this story. It's good to see stories that cover the fact that not all abuse claims are real.

  2. "Between 2009 and 2010, there was a 42 percent increase in false claims made against priests."

    Wow, really? False claims, you say? Or is Mr. Bill ("I think they're gold-diggers") Donahue really claiming that unsubstantiated allegations and false claims are the same thing?
