text: Yes, just like the progressives, to demand facts when it suits them to do so.  Hardly consistent, is it?  Of course, taking allegations as fact, assuming guilt rather than innocence, now that's not what we Conservative Catholics, in keeping with the Teachings of the USCCB, do when dealing with allegations of abuse by clergy with the aid of the Bishops, but of course, we are correct and right to apply different standards as necessary.  So, yes, allegations imply facts here, while allegations, and even facts, may be disregarded when the accused, or even the convicted, are our Beloved Clergy and Courageous Bishops.  After all, Jesus never said truth was all that important, did he?  And even if he had, we have the tradition of winning by any means necessary from the Church, and tradition trumps scripture.
