I agree.  We can't tell who is or who is not guilty in large part because of the secrecy of the hierarchy of the Church.  If a priest is falsely accused, the actions of the Church make it very difficult to determine which one that is.  they hid all those records for decades and we all know that many records are still hidden around the world.

On a individual level of the priest who did or did not actually commit abuse, that is a tragedy for the falsely accused priest.  But there is an equal tragedy for the abused person who gets no support in discovering truth given the secrecy required by the Church over investigations made by the Church and over the secrecy of the records the Vatican does hold.  

I am not indifferent to the plight of the falsely accused priest.  But if we are to have a level playing field, then let the Church also level that playing field for priests and victims.  Open the records past and present.
