PRIESTS\’ RIGHTS MERIT VIGOROUS DEFENSE

November 22, 2011

 

Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on the rights of priests:
 
When it comes to accusations of priestly sexual abuse, the accused is never publicly identified—he is simply listed as John Doe 101. But this isn\’t enough to satisfy some: they want bishops to publish the names of all accused priests, even if there has never been a conviction, and even if he is dead. Moreover, every accused serial killer and maniacal terrorist merits immediate attention from civil libertarians, and their defense is uniformly applauded in liberal circles. Why should priests be treated any different?
