Controversies

On learning of allegation of sexual abuse against Czech priest František Merta, Graubner transferred the priest to another parish but did not report the matter to the police. A student of Palacký University of Olomouc Saints Cyril and Methodius Faculty of Theology subsequently laid criminal charges against both Merta and Graubner.[2]

gollark: I wonder if you could somehow design it so it could be fairly easily separated into the individual containers, for purposes.
gollark: I would totally live in that, assuming no horribleness.
gollark: Just add a "NOT ABANDONED" sign.
gollark: And you can probably shove insulation in.
