Pandora, I think the rush to judgment that you condemn stems from the very responses of the hierarchy. The hiding of abusive priests is well documented.  The lack of punishment for the bishops is ongoing.  The legal fight against the victims continues, while the Christian response of walking with the victims remains muted at best.  
I am a previous chair of my diocese's sexual abuse committee.  I have seen false accusations.  They are few.  I have seen accusations of priests I knew, incredible until they were indeed proven true.  I have seen two heroic priests, falsely accused, step aside until they were cleared and then returned to ministry with honor.  I've seen a great deal more predatory wolves among the lambs.
This particular case may have issues.  The bishop has obvious issues as well, documented and real.  I agree with your call to wait and see, but I greatly resent the implication from you (and the expected more direct accusation from Eliane) that such lawsuits are mere greed.
