He’s not going to make it long in prison. Throwing pedos into gen pop is like putting a rat in a viper pit.Binzer should be Fired immediately! He was aware of inappropriate things being done by this Priest at St. Max and then let the guy transfer to the largest grade school in Cincinnati. Basically sounds like a creep covering for then enabling another creep to keep preying on young boys. 2 total scumbags! Sure hope Drew gets Life and an a** whippin at the JC before heading to prison!
This occurred in the late 80s/early 90s. The victim is 41 years old today. Bill Cunningham just said he's in law enforcement. Personally I think it's safe to assume he's an Elder grad. Someone on here probably knows him.It’s f’d up, but there’s s decent chance I would know the victim. My closest group of friends from Elder went to Jude and they were definitely there in the late 90s.
If I were the police , I be wanting an interview with Bisnar ASAP. He didn't deviate from protocol, he covered up a pig. And if you've covered up one pig, you might have covered up several. be nice if they could put a lie detector on him and ask some tough questionsI am very happy they were able to find chargable crimes against this guy. He should spend the rest of his life in prison. FYI: I talked to Bishop Binzer last week. I just happened to see him on the street as I have several times before. He is always very approachable and did approach him as I have in the past. I brought up the "bad couple of weeks". He said as bad as his have been they cannot compare to the pain he has caused others. I ended by saying I would pray for him and all who have been injured. As much as I like the man, it is clear that he did not follow the rules the Diocese has set for itself and he has to go. I hope that is part of the HR moves that the Archbishop alluded to in his previous statement. I also hope that Bishop Binzer makes a public statement. The Archbishop's statement is not enough when the Bishop's personal failing is an issue.
I am glad this issue came to light. I am glad the authorities were contact on two occasions and I am glad that this creep will face justice. I pray that no one at the Archdiocese ever deviates from the protocol in the future.

Because people were(and some still are) so brainwashed to never question priest or Catholic hierarchy. I was after strittmatters time at Elder, but I kept my distance from Kuhn, he always creeped me out.I was stunned when Willie was talking about Strittmatter&Kelley (??) taking boys from Elder to an Athletic Club in Clifton to swim naked. I am 40, could one of you older guys please tell me how this was allowed to happen,even back then.

I'm sorry but I have to say these charges are a little stretching. I smell a big money payday coming to some 'cop". 30 years after he allegedly "raped" this boy no one else was sexually assaulted by him? While I do think they are BS, I'm glad this priest is arrested, although he will probably get bonded out shortly. The worse part of all of this is had these criminal charges not been brought then this priest would have been headed to Washington DC for "counseling" according to the archdioceses. No doubt in my mind this priest is a "CREEP", but the real guilty ones are the leaders in the catholic church that failed to act and turned a blind eye.

If he feels that bad, he should resign. Otherwise, it’s all bs.I am very happy they were able to find chargable crimes against this guy. He should spend the rest of his life in prison.

Did that news report on Fox19 say around the 2:40 mark that Binzer was returned to his other job duties or did I hear that wrong? I thought he was being removed? Unreal if true.
Ask and Accept Binzers’s Resignation or Fire him immediately!
Not enough. Schnurr has to go too. He's in charge and has to be held accountable for the organization he runs. The Archdiocese of Cincinnati needs a reboot bent on making sure this nonsense doesn't happen again.
This crap happens in places other than the Catholic Church, but our church responds to it in a bafflingly inadequate way every single time. In fact, our Archdiocese responds to everything that comes up in an awful way.
This is correct. Unfortunately, these other places are shuttered for much less than has happened at just Elder over the years, let alone the entire Archdiocese. Sometimes stuff happens that negates a bunch of good. If you interpret every attack on Elder's dire sexual abuse history as a personal attack, it just feeds the parochial (literal meaning) beast that encouraged the cover up in the first place. I.e., "wouldn't happen here", "he's a nice guy", etc. The canned food drive doesn't atone for these past sins, sins that keep popping up on the news even *after* the admin has assured it's all been taken care of.This crap happens in places other than the Catholic Church, but our church responds to it in a bafflingly inadequate way every single time.

Indeed. This is our church. We are the ones who collect the cans. Myself and my friends are the ones who coach three sports a year so our kids can have the same experiences we did and we adhere to the Virtus stuff to do it. We need to hold the people in charge accountable. We ought to all speak up and demand Binzer and Schnurr resign.

FYI: As far as this subject is concerned and especially as it relates to enrollment it is important to remember that this guy supports a boycott of Catholic institutions, including Elder. He has commented favorably to the idea that these institutions should suffer a reduction in students.Or an even deeper question, why do you need these type of leaders to lead your schools and parishes? What good does it do just to get another Archdiocesan leader to take their place?
Catholics still feel the need to tow the line. If you want change, start taking back your parishes.
As for pedophilia, the Church and its members should be held accountable in criminal court. Not sure what Geoff did, but the Church hasn't learned its lesson if they are still quietly shifting these guys around. But why wouldn't they? You all who willingly give money at the collection each week and/or pay tuition to Catholic schools are giving your tacit approval, end of story. Want it to end? Stop complaining and put your money where your mouths are...
Post of the week.
The truth finally comes out. OSP wants to boycott Elder and destroy the school to get back at the Church. He is an anti-Elder troll who is only here to stir up controversy and damage Elder.

He is not a friend of Elder, our parishes or the Catholic Church.

Thought Old School was an Elder Alum. Wait till the “brainwashed” guys see his post. Soon after they will surely disappear?
Or the post will be deleted in another desperate, purely Catholic act of censorship and cover-up. Wake up.
It's really quite frightening that most people can't/won't see the impact this will have now and in the future. There is literally not much going on in Elder's favor to assume they will be "fine" in 10 years. Yet I'm crucified for demanding drastic change to right the ship.
I don't want to hear bitching and moaning when the house of cards finally falls.
