text: I hope you take a look at the plight of innocent priests falsely accused. The most famous case in the United States occurred in Philadelphia, where an innocent priest died from possible medical neglect handcuffed to his bed. A second famous and  likely innocent priest has served many years in New Hampshire.  Both cases were based on testimony by felons with extensive criminal  records who were also drug users and/or dealers, and who had already earlier in their lives accused others of abuse. In both cases bishops paid the false accusers obscene sums of Catholic people's money. Cardinal Pell is accused by two men who fit the exact same profile, although it remains to be seen whether they will seek Catholic people's church donations.  But most false accusations are not so famous. They have occurred in my community and I suspect most others because of mass hysteria, exploited by unscrupulous trial lawyers and primitive anti-Catholicism both within and outside the Catholic Church.
