In the mid-1930s the Nazi government in Germany held a trial of priests accused of abusing children. For decades it was assumed it was the usual wholly trumped up show trial by a totalitarian state. I have no doubt that the process was fundamentally unfair and that the accused had no hope of acquittal regardless of the evidence. However in light of what has come out in the last twenty years the assumption that they were wholly innocent victims of Nazis lies can't be taken as a given.
