Priest linked to sex-abuse cover-up tapped as chief of California church's sex-abuse hotline, dismaying victims

The Catholic diocese in San Diego, California is facing a backlash after it appointed a priest who once admitted to destroying documents that detailed sexual assaults to be in charge of the church's sex abuse hotline.
According to Raw Story, Melanie Sakoda of Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) demanded that Bishop Robert W. McElroy remove Fr. Steven Callahan from his position because he is "an admitted embezzler [who] shouldn't oversee bank accounts."
