O'Reilly Sentence in Chile - Two or three sides of the coin




First off, the sentence is similar to Fr Maciel' Vatican sentence in 2006 =  after all the investigations and testimonies he is guilty but there are attenuating circumstances; let's give him a slap on the hand.

Secondly, if he is guilty he deserves a  harsher sentence;
If he is not guilty he deserves to be free.

Seems that the message the justice system in Chile is giving us that:
  • Fr. O'Reilly, it seems,  is kind of guilty...not sure
  • he is guilty = keep him away from children
  • he is guilty, but maybe it was not all that bad...
  • ---

  • What about the child and her family: 
  • if they made it up why did they put their daughters through such distress
  • If their daughters were really abused by Fr. O'Reilly, how distraught they must be; after all the money they spent(?)to try to get justice for their daughters.
  • If the parents made it up, where did this hatred against Fr. O'Reilly spring from?
