The Austrian bishop whose seminary is at the center of a pornography and homosexuality scandal said in an interview published on Monday that the controversy was overblown.

Bishop Kurt Krenn of St. Polten told the newspaper Neues Volksblatt , "It is portrayed as if we have a giant saga to come to grips with, and that's not the case. What has been found is a student who had done something." A Polish seminarian at the school was arrested by Austrian police this month and charged with distributing child pornography using computers at the seminary. In the course of the investigation, the police also uncovered photos taken by the seminarian that reportedly show priests and seminarians engaged in homosexual activity. Some of those photos were published in Austrian media.
