(SV - this story has taken a whole new lease of life and has indeed raised some genuine concerns, some of which are outlined hereunder.As priests, however, we are to uphold the truth and I shall not be deterred from so doing!!)
Father,
If people are now talking of slander because of local Parish story on your site, they are obviously not happy that the postings which have now been shut down on Indymedia sending people to your site have not stopped such postings.
Nobody wants to bring your great site into disrepute.
However it also shows what the person trying to clear their name is up against.
There is NO WAY to win against the Catholic Church. They have the money, their own Canon Law, their own cartload of legal eagles, their own ocean of cash.
When a Parish Priest turns up to a hearing accompanied by Counsel and Barrister, Juniors of both, his 2 sisters and 2 brothers, his best friend (an ex Priest), a Parish Council member etc. against on the other side of the room one ex Parish worker and her Barrister + 1 professional to refute the Parish report there has got to be SOMETHING WRONG.
It was like one person -v- RENT-A-CROWD.
The one person went alone to tell the truth. Why did the other need so many PROPS?
Word was then put around that the one person now had no supporters not even her own family!
Untrue she would not have family members take time off work to waste their 2 days sitting around listening to drivel from the other side of the room.
There is no problem if you also wish to pull this story and bow to the pressure.
You have to watch your back.

Surely it shouldn't be so easy for anyone to walk into a parish office and at the few strokes of a pen walk out with a document that could potentially aid the practice of identity fraud.
Mother or not.
However, given the fact a 20cent sheet of paper and drop of ink costs so much there it's reason I suppose the church hasn't seen a drop of paint.
Soon churches will be like hairdressers with price lists inside the prayer books.
