A Vatican official who handles sexual abuse cases for the Catholic Church has quit two months after being accused of sexual abuse.

On Monday, Hermann Geissler resigned from his position as chief of staff in the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, a body that handles discipline in sexual abuse cases within the Catholic Church, according to a statement from the Holy See’s press office.

Geissler maintained his innocence but said he was resigning to protect the church.

“Fr. Geissler decided to take this step to limit the damage already done to the Congregation and to his Community,” the office stated.

Why I'm just shocked. Shocked, I tell ya.

3. "Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith"

AKA the inquisition. AKA the part of the church that Benedict headed. AKA the part of the church that was responsible for the massive coverup of all the abuse the church was purpertrating.

Abuse or not, this guy is guilty of something just by his position.
