	Report: 5 Allege Priest Beat Them before Becoming Bishop Toronto Sun March 31, 2010 http://www.torontosun.com/news/world/2010/03/31/13420686.html GERMANY -- A German newspaper says three women and two men are claiming they were physically abused at a Roman Catholic orphanage by a priest who is now a bishop. The Sueddeutsche Zeitung said Wednesday it has obtained affidavits the five self-described victims had prepared claiming that Walter Mixa struck them with his fists or instruments such as sticks, carpet beaters or wooden spoons in the 1970s and 1980s when he was a priest at the orphanage in Schrobenhausen. On Wednesday a spokeswoman for Mixa, currently the bishop of Augsburg district in southwest Germany, called the claims "absurd, false and obviously invented with the intent of defaming the current bishop of Augsburg." Kathi Marie Ulrich says Mixa never used physical force against children.
