Posted by Joelle Casteix on November 25, 2015
A controversial priest accused of covering up abuse in the Diocese of San Diego is in charge of taking victims calls and emails.
Msgr. Steven Callahan shot to the spotlight in 2014 after he became the temporary diocesan administrator after the death of Cirilo Flores.
Victims, supporters and Catholics were rightfully upset:
In 2007, Callahan testified that he destroyed evidence of child sex abuse and cover-up.

Why would anyone—especially a victim of abuse—believe that he would do the right thing?
