Father Craven's Secret Journal

In 1989 Father Francis Craven was found bound and burned in the woods of Alabama. After nine months, a man was arrested for the crime, but released when he presented an air-tight alibi. Eventually, a member of his parish was arrested and convicted of the crime. But in 1994, his conviction was overturned as a result of Father Craven’s secret journal not being allowed into evidence. What did the journal say? I promise you have never heard anything like this before!
