Severe dementia precludes adequate grounds for accusations of guilt. There is no reason to assume guilt in this case. A man’s sterling reputation is ravaged by hatred.
Anti Catholic bigotry is rampant at FR. Shame!
You are the only person talking about severe dementia. How would someone with severe dementia even find this lady to deliver last rites? Shame on you for trying to defend a preditor

Well the priest was arrested and had to post a $15k bond to get out of jail, so there must be prima facie evidence of the criminal act charged. Cops don’t go around arresting people for whom they have no evidence. What should be bothering you is why it took from October of last year to today, to pick the guy up. Your charge of anti-Catholic bigotry is shameful on its face. I don’t give a fig about the Catholic Church or it’s teachings, but I do care when one of its practitioners commits a criminal sexual act. And there is ample evidence that priests are misbehaving sexually with both those of the opposite sex and with children. It is a scandal of world wide proportions that needs to be addressed completely. So I guess since the Catholic Church has chosen to try to prevent these abuses from being discovered, that they should be fair game on the part of our civilian law enforcement people. If this guy is found guilty, he should spend the rest of his natural life behind bars, and the Catholic Church should be forced to compensate this woman and her family, since a priest is an “agent” of the Church.
