When I received the letter from the Brooklyn Diocese office sent by Bishop DiMarzio I was shocked, angered, and disappointed. First of all the Bishop has lead this Diocese for almost seventeen (17) years, until the so called “look back” legislation was enacted I have never heard any indication against his impeccable credentials.
While I disagree with the Bishop in some areas regarding his policy and items he should be focusing on, his character speaks for itself. When legislation was passed, it was contemplated that people looking to “ strike it rich” would come out of the woodwork, out worst fears have come to fruition. The lawyer representing both clients is seeking $40 million dollars which tells me a lot. First of all in America we are presumed innocent until proven guilty, while this sounds like a noble position it is flawed. Once accused even when innocent a person’s reputation (especially high profile people) is tarnished forever. Experts on pedophilia indicate that the recidivism rate for this crime is high, where are the other accusers?
