What makes you think he was falsely accused? Did you read the article? It said nothing like that.

He was defrocked after being accused of sexual assault and investigated by the church. He didn’t quit- he was fired.

According to a woman who has investigated hundreds of these cases he has followed a classic pattern for offenders.

Lastly, given the Catholic Church and its priests actions surrounding the rape of children and the concealment of said rapes it would be insane to give them the benefit of the doubt.

If he’d been accused of sexual assault, defrocked, and moved on to being a line cook, maybe.

He was accused of sex crimes against children, investigated, defrocked, and then chose to…. work with children.

In my opinion I think your statement that he was “falsely accused” demonstrates breathtaking naïveté.
