Msgr. Lynn Still Guilty, Reversal Only Says Law Did Not Apply to Him

Lynn Not Not Guilty

The Philadelphia appeals court ruling yesterday did NOT say Monsignor William Lynn was innocent, it ruled only that the law did not cover him.

Lynn's attorneys won this appeal saying Pennsylvania's child-endangerment law at the time of the crimes applied only to parents and caregivers, not to “supervisors" such as the Monsignor. The reversal "turned on disputed interpretations of Pennsylvania's former child welfare law," as described in the New York Times.

There is no denial of Monsignor Lynn's guilt here, only attorneys finding a way once again to twist the Law to their client’s interest, with enough cash to pursue it until they win.

So as Donoho’ of the Catholic League and others jump in and call this a victory for a wrongfully accused priest, let’s take a minute to look at the whole truth.

Since his attorneys say he was not a caregiver, are they then arguing that he did not care? Because we all know that is the truth here.
