Then it claimed it would never defend a guilty priest.<br /><br />In both posts, Donohue claimed the whole thing was ginned up by liberals, of course.Anglocathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03218740053628978255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827071479314474893.post-4523086846608801462013-09-22T10:49:32.797-07:002013-09-22T10:49:32.797-07:00I should have summarized the context in the links,...I should have summarized the context in the links, Rick. The contradiction is that the second quote was said by Donahue about Fugee after he was convicted based on his own confession, the conviction was reversed because the lower court erred in instructing the jury, and he pled out in a non-custodial plea bargain, the terms of which he then violated. Donohue's post selectively quoted the plea bargain to make it seem that Fugee did not violate the plea bargain (the Diocese's original position) and then when the Diocese admitted that such was not the case, Donohue piously made the first-quoted comment about he very man whose plea bargain he'd been misrepresenting and insisting on a hyper technical reading of only 2 days before.Anglocathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03218740053628978255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827071479314474893.post-7823630627750925932013-09-22T09:51:22.346-07:002013-09-22T09:51:22.346-07:00Not that I'm any fan of Donohue, but what'...Not that I'm any fan of Donohue, but what's the contradition? Any priest accused of criminal sexual misconduct should be arrested and tried. He should also be entitled to all the constitutional protections we afford accused criminals, like indictment by grand jury, legal counsel, the right to confront accusers, and the presumption of innocence. How are those two propositions "contradictory positions"?rick allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07612435616018593956noreply@blogger.com
