I LOATHE this Fr. Pflegler guy, but we can't read anything into the fact that the Church is paying for the (alleged) victim's counseling or providing counseling for the (alleged) victim. That's just the way it goes once these accusations are made.

I have a real problem with accusations from four decades ago, even when the accused is as big a jerk as Pflegler. There are innocent priests whose lives have been destroyed by false accusations. Of course, priests who do abuse children should be sent up the river.

I’m with you on this. Faithful priests are often smeared by false accusations. I saw this happen locally and the Bishop (Wuerl) used the falsehood to change a conservative parish by installing a wreaking ball leftist priest there.
Pflegler should have been removed years ago for stuff we know he did.
