A Vatican Lawyer Says Bishops Should Not Reveal Abuse Claims

Well, he's a lawyer, what do you expect? He's also an asshole:

In the article, Father Ghirlanda also wrote that a priest who is reassigned to a new parish after being treated because of a history of sexual abuse should not have his "good reputation" ruined by having his background revealed to the new parish. It would be better simply not to place the priest in a new parish if the bishop lacks confidence about the priest, Father Ghirlanda said.

In other words, keep doing what you've been doing. It's worked out great so far.
