From Opus Bono Sacerdotii : More Falsely Accused Priests


Opus Bono Sacerdotii Work for the Good of the Priesthood
 
The Association of Catholic Priests (ACP) in Ireland has hit out at the lack of financial and legal support for priests falsely accused of child abuse. The ACP was aware of at least a dozen priests in Ireland against whom false allegations had been made. Father Tony Flannery said there were now sufficient numbers of false allegations to cause concern. The ACP spokesman said, “Most priests don’t have the financial resources needed to defend themselves and in a great many cases, the Church authorities are not willing to supply them with the money.”
Here is the link to the full story.
Here at Opus Bono Sacerdotii we helps priests with legal representation and many other services. Out of the 8,000 or more priests who have contacted us in the past eleven years, 5,000 of which are related to accusations of abuse, I can confidently say that well over a thousand of them are blatantly false. Sadly, most of these falsely accused priests are still out of public ministry.

Will you consider donating at

Your help is urgently needed at this time.

Gratefully,

Joe Maher, President
