Shanley was given due process, a full trial and appeal.  He is guilty.  The standard defense of the church playbook:  a priest is accused, scream innocent until proven guilty; upon conviction, howl about how it will all be fixed on appeal; after conviction affirmed, weep and moan about witch hunts, bias, whatever.  The important thing being not truth, but protection of the clergy, even if that means protecting pedophiles.
