I don't know how many priests were falsely accused or of any falsely accusing lingering in Jail.  However, the whole responsibility belongs to the Bishops and Popes who refused to look into or do anything about properly accused priests.  Had the bishops been proactive, there would be much less a problem.  Finally there are many more young people who were victims of statutory and or child rape that were not taken care of emotionally by the bishops.  As tragic as it is to have some one false accused and in jail, The soul murder of or children is the real tragedy of all this.  We need a complete reconstruction of our hierarchy and its power structure.  Most of our man made canon law is part of the root of our problems.  I think we could start with the scrapping  of most cannon laws, and the free election of bishops by the people of he diocese. The consecrating of married men and women to he priests and bishops should follow.  The terrible Hypocrisy in our leadership must be reformed now.
