Francis' comments on allegations against Bishop Barros make little sense

MGB:_The accussation against Barros is a bit over the top. For it to be true, the three people who witnessed Barros witnessing an act of sexual abuse (which is not yelling at an altar boy) also had to witness the abuse. Did they come foreward at the time? The story is still too fantastic to not suspect bad intent by the so-called witnensses. I am usually hard on abusers, but not all incidents are true. If the victim said Barros was watching, that would be one thing, but four people in the room plus the victim and the abuser strains creduility, at least for Francis.When accusations start getting fantastic, the whole movement for openess is discredited.  Arthur Miller, call your office.
