Cries of 'witch-hunt' ring hollow for Catholic clergy survivors

When you write a book which details allegations of paedophilia against a man who was once one of the nation's most powerful people, curious things happen. One of the crazier things is a tiny circle of people who still unquestioningly defend this person, saying he could not possibly have committed acts they know nothing about and accuse you of leftist bias.
How on god's green earth, you ask yourself, did the prospect that someone might have abused children suddenly become a matter of left and right?
