More alternative facts,  from a usual suspect!    The priest in question has flagrantly abused his people, and is entitled to the same sort of deference and obedience as a predator -- none whatever.  And fortunately, there are many people in both the Catholic community and the broader civic community who recognize the abuse for what it is, as well as for what it portends.  Ditto for the case of the canon-lawyer bishop.  Not healthy situations!
