IN the NEWS - Cincinnati’s Number Two Goes Down

But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
Genesis 13:13


"The archdiocese of Cincinnati's second in command is stepping down after it has been shown he didn't do enough to keep an alleged priest-rapist out of parishes.


Binzer was both the vicar of the archdiocese — second after the archbishop, director of priest personnel and a member of the U.S. bishops' conference committee for the protection of children and young people.
 
In August 2019 Fr. Geoff Drew was arrested and charged with raping an altar boy while he was music director of St. Jude Church in Hamilton County, Ohio, in the late 1980s and 1990s — when the alleged victim was 10 and 11 years old and before Drew was ordained a priest.
 
Drew was transferred to St. Ignatius of Loyola parish in July 2018 at his own request, claiming he wanted to be closer to his elderly mother who lived a few miles from the parish."
