Your comment is neither fair nor accurate. No one doubts that sexual abuse has occurred in the church, that clerics have committed heinous acts, that bishops have covered up. To question whether justice was done in a particular case is not to deny the reality that abuse has occurred; and your assertion that anyone is trying "to silence the voices of truth to serve [your] own selfish needs" is rhetorical overkill, at best.
In the present instance: Shanley is a high profile case who was already controversial before he was charged. He was charged, convicted, sentenced; his conviction was affirmed on appeal; he served his time and he's now living under probation supervision. The State and the community have the right and duty to accept his conviction and to insist that he comply with his probation conditions. I don't think anyone here is arguing anything different. My comments go to how the community can promote the safety of the community by supporting the ex-convict, guilty or not.
