With so many individuals coming out and stating that they were sexually molested by Catholic priests,I am curious as to how critical memory factors may play in the the reliability,validity,creativity in some of these alleged episodes.Some of these events purportedly happened as far back as 30 years ago ?Were the implications then similar to implications now.Apparenlty there were no witnesses or tell tale stories to other secondary relay witnesses. There is some evidence that some of those allegations were fabricated. Remember the guy who accused the late Cardinal of Chicago of this and it was later found that he made up the story? And recently a woman accused a priest of such and it was discovered that she had some kind of schizoid personality disorder. And while on this subject (free associating), are these behaviors more pevalent among Diocesan (Secular) Priests than priests of Religious Orders (Franciscan,Jesuits,Benedictines)? And what could be the factor if differences are found? And what about the Brothers of the Religious Orders assigned to parishes?
