My diocese had one of those too. He ran the Newman/student center at the university. The bishop knew about him and "applied restrictions" to him, but it wasn't until he died that they publicly investigated him.

It was about ten years after he died that the investigation report came out. They concluded "there was a homosexual culture" at the Newman Center to blame.

During this investigation, no direct information was learned that Msgr. Kalin was homosexual or was a practicing homosexual; however, there was sufficient testimonial and anecdotical [sic] information learned during the investigation to confirm Msgr. Kalin did seek out and prefer the company of men. Much of this exacerbated later in his life due to ongoing medication and treatment for Parkinson’s disease.
