As if any further proof were needed of how the anti-Catholic group SNAP manipulates the media and lies to the public about the Church’s handling of sex abuse cases, consider this recent ominous media statement from David Clohessy, the group’s National Director:
“A new child sex abuse lawsuit has been filed against Fr. William Authenrieth who is apparently still alive and living in Massachusetts.
“We urge [a Florida bishop] to urge his colleagues in Massachusetts to warn the public and their parishioners about Fr. Authenrieth …”
But wait …
There is no “Fr. William Authenrieth.” Authenrieth was indeed once a priest, but as a few seconds of research clearly show, the Church laicized him some three decades ago, in 1985.
