Where else in the country has a prosecutor filed only misdemeanor counts against a so-called bad priest?

There are at least two sides to every story, and you never bothered to apply that principle to this case. Would Jesus be pissed about all this? Probably, because he fully understands what it is like to be falsely accused and publicly shamed when your only offense was serving God and your fellow man.
