SoT Christianity: Known German Pedophile Priest Reassigned to Another Parish |
Yep, that vaunted Christian moral superiority

The host of a bishops' conference in southern Germany has taken one of
his peers to task for reassigning a priest with a history of sexual
abuse to a new parish. He also called for more openness on this
sensitive issue.
The Bishop of Fulda, Heinz Josef Algermissen, said his colleague
Bishop Gerhard Ludwig Müller of Regensburg made a mistake in offering
a second chance to priest with a history of pedophilia.
"If something has happened in the past with children, a new start
should only be allowed at a distance from children," Algermissen told
the Bayern2 radio station.
The priest in question, identified only as Peter K., was found guilty
in 2000 of making improper sexual advances toward a minor and received
a 12-month suspended sentence. Müller reassigned the priest to the
parish of Riekofen, a village near Regensburg, after that sentence
expired.
Police then arrested 39-year-old Peter K. on Aug. 30 suspected sexual
offences committed between 2003 and 2006, and Riekofen has been given
a new priest.

He wanted to keep him in *his* parish.
Nudge, nudge.
