text: No, it is a lie, bandied about by those who wish to deny reality: the church they worship in place of God engaged in the systematic protection of child abusers for decades.  Gibbering about the legal presumption of "innocent until proven guilty" is a smoke screen.  No one was thrown in prison without a trial.  
  Accused: "innocent until proven guilty" 
  Tried and convicted:  "vindication on appeal!"  
  Conviction affirmed: "persecution!  unfair legal system!"  
  Here's the truth.  Few priests have been prosecuted for the crime of rape.  Many guilty escaped justice due to the depravity and evil of the church, including that of JPII.  How about providing a list of those falsely convicted (listing only those whose convictions have, in the course of due process been overturned).  Or, better yet, stop spreading the lies of the church in defense of child rapists.
