Video: Interview with Archbishop Vigneron on Clerical Sex Abuse

Detroit's Archbishop, Allen H. Vigneron was interviewed by the Detroit Free Press.  Clearly emotional at times, he calls what happened to victims unimaginable.  He reinforces a basic Christian principle in the video, as well - one which may be difficult for some to understand: A measure of our love for God is based on our capacity to love even those who commit the most heinous of sins which cry out to heaven for vengeance.

Effective interview. I also read the FP feature. As horrific as this story continues to be, there's another horrific side that is nearly never explored in these interviews and articles. And that is the abuse against innocent priests by those that hate the Catholic Church. What I would like to see is a thorough definition of "credible evidence" that is bandied about but never defined. I have heard that some still deny the allegations because they are not true. So, will the A.B. or someone in the know define that for us?
