Who are we to believe; a man who has distinguished himself in his chosen
profession and has led an exemplary life, or a mysterious huckster named
"John", who may or may not even exist? Far too many homos are trying to
blame the RCC for their chosen lifestyles, thinking they can hit a big
'pay-day'. This nonsense has to end.

Charleston, W.Va., Apr 19, 2012 / 11:20 am (CNA/EWTN News).- Bishop
Michael J. Bransfield of Wheeling-Charelston, W.Va. denied allegations
of sex abuse against him during April 18 court proceedings in the
criminal trial against a Pennsylvania priest.
“To now be unfairly included in that group and to hear the horrific
allegations that are being made of me is unbelievable and shocking,”
Bishop Bransfield said in an April 19 statement.
A witness in the trial against Monsignor William Lynn – who is accused
of covering up sex abuse accusations within the Philadelphia Archdiocese
– told the court that he was sexually abused by Philadelphia priest Fr.
Stanely Gana on property belonging to Bishop Bransfield over 30 years ago.
The same witness, a 48-year-old man identified as “John,” claims that
Bishop Bransfield brought several teenage boys to a farm owned by Fr.
Gana, who told “John” that the bishop was having sex with one of them,
reported the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Bishop Bransfield, a 68-year-old native of Philadelphia, said in his
statement Thursday that although he is subject to criticism as a public
figure, these allegations “go way beyond any sense of fairness and
propriety.”
“I have never sexually abused anyone,” he said.

I prefer to believe what the evidence says,

And I don't trust the RCC at all.
