Historically many abusive and alcoholic priest were sent to New Mexico. My former wife was raised Roman Catholic and educated K-12 in parochial schools in New Mexico. She has told me stories of which priests she learned to avoid as "they liked to past us little girls on our bottoms.". This was in a small town and I am sure the parishioners were in awe of and cowed by the clergy so nothing was done, at least way back then.
