The Catholic Diocese of Buffalo opened its Office of Professional Responsibility Monday, lead by former long-time FBI agent Steven Halter.

The Diocese says Halter will, in-part, investigate clergy abuse complaints, as protesters Sunday were not satisfied with the creation of the new post.

He’ll also serve as a resource for pastors, pastoral administrators, principals and other church leaders throughout the diocese. Halter was a bureau agent for almost 30 years and will also investigate any financial mismanagement within the diocese.
