No the FACTS convict. Like the fact that one of the reassigned priests plead GUILTY to raping a 10 year old altar boy...

Lynn, whose job included proposing priests’ assignments, is accused of endangering children by allegedly recommending that two priests be allowed to live or work in parishes despite signs they might abuse children.

His codefendant, the Rev. James J. Brennan, has denied charges he tried to rape a 14-year-old boy in 1996. The second accused priest, Edward Avery, pleaded guilty before the trial to charges that he sexually assaulted a 10-year-old altar boy in 1999.

Five years earlier, Lynn had included Avery on a list of former and active archdiocesan priests identified as guilty of sexual misconduct. Lynn knew Avery had been accused of molesting a teen in the 1970s.

Getting a bit impatient with the jury system, Sarge? Want to axe the statute of limitations where the Catholic Church is concerned?. Want to suspend due process?

I'm sure Lynn did an absolutely lousy job with these priests. No argument from me there, so you can put that straw man back in the cupboard. Problem is, this is a legal procedure involving legal protocol.
