It's really pathetic how many men here are merely emoting, while some of the women have been much more rational. We have a Traditionalist #metoo movement here.
While every allegation should be taken seriously and investigated, it would also be a grave injustice to the falsely-accused. There has been no shortage of false rape allegations made against men and against priests, from varying motivations, some who intend to capitalize from a civil suit, others who had psychological issues for doing so (such as later regret for consensual activities), and some who just had plain psychological and/or moral issues. Often the accuser will admit, sometimes after the accused had spent significant time behind bars, that she made the whole thing up.
This assertion that anyone who doesn't instantly believe every word of any accusation somehow condones rape or pederasty or whatever the case may be is akin to the Jєωιѕн ploy that anyone who doesn't believe that 6 million Jєωs were intentionally exterminated by the nαzιs must be sympathetic to the h0Ɩ0cαųst and would have done it themselves if they could have.
Erica's allegations of rape simply don't pass even level one of the smell test. Nor does the fact that Fr. Arzuaga was guilty of grave sins against chastity and celibacy justify simply "tacking on" the rape allegations. While the former is a grave sin, the latter is also a crime, and a much more grievious sin.
So it's wrong to disbelieve Erica's allegations but it's OK for Erica to have disbelieved the allegations gainst Father Angles?
It's disturbing how few individuals have a rational approach to these situations.
Mark79's absurd characterization of those who don't believe the allegations made by Erica as "accomplices after the fact" is one of the most absurd, pathetic, and effeminate statements I have seen posted here.
