A while back I was contacted by supporters of a convicted Catholic priest, Father Joseph Maurizio. Subsequently, I exchanged a few letters with Father Joe.
I do not have the time or resources to vet his case myself. But I have heard enough to believe the conviction is dubious. I know innocent priests who have been sent to prison, so I don’t, like many, assume that all accused Catholic priests are guilty. But there has been so much horrendous publicity that is is nearly impossible for an accused priest to receive a fair trial.
His supporters have set up a web site. I’d be curious to hear what others think.
If you would like to send him a message, that can be done from the web site.
