One interesting point about the Don Andrea Contin story (which is not mentioned in this report), is the refusal by the Padua diocese to cooperate fully with the Italian State's inquiries. The Church has been pleading its rights under the church-state concordat. 
The accusations against Contin go further than sexual frolics between consenting adults. Police entered the presbytery, hence all the discoveries that they made (and have made public). Contin is facing criminal charges. The diocese has refused to supply files that the Police have requested. 
There are suggestions that the Padua diocese knew about Contin's activities very many months ago, and failed to act.
Money matters are also involved, of course - with Contin using an unusual number of Church bank accounts to fund his extraordinary lifestyle. The loss of so much money is probably what concerns the diocese the most.
