Henry's most remarkable achievement has been his spirited defence of Priests wrongly accused in the so-called Child Abuse Scandal. He has appointed a number of the falsely accused as senior members of the administration of the Diocese. As Rector of a seminary in London (Ontario) in the 1980s, Henry observed that not a single allegation made in Ontario was based on factually verifiable events. Using rigorous statistical methods, he was able to establish that in every case, the only motivation for making allegations was pure monetary gain. Also, it was obvious that the rate of child abuse within the Catholic Clergy and religious orders was (and continues to be) approximately 1/10th to 1/50th of that observed in a control group (Public School Board Teachers), with offense rates of <0.2% and between 2 and 10%, respectively. Currently, Henry is engaged in a major effort to obtain compensation for the grief caused to those falsely accused.
