Auxiliary Bishop Joseph Binzer will no longer oversee priest personnel matters in Cincinnati because he failed to report accusations that a West Side priest behaved improperly with children.
Binzer’s removal is part of a shake-up announced Monday at the Archdiocese of Cincinnati over its handling of misconduct complaints against the former pastor of St. Ignatius of Loyola in Green Township.
The pastor, Geoff Drew, is now on leave while the church investigates the complaints.
“It’s obvious that in this matter we have handled things very, very poorly,” Archbishop Dennis Schnurr said in a statement Monday. “I’m sorry for the pain that this has caused so many people.”
