Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests

Dozens of times, Benedict has made the same unwise, unhealthy and hurtful decision to promote clerics who are guilty or accused of wrongdoing. With Mixa, he’s doing it again.
The message that church employees get is clear: misdeeds won’t stop you from climbing the clerical ladder. Whether that’s the intention or not, that’s the signal that’s sent and received.
