Answer 1

Here's a good link to review all of the nefarious ongoings:

http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9404E1DC1730F936A25752C1A9649C8B63

He did not protest when he learned that the local church was getting payola from drug lords to look the other way as the drug lords did as they wished.

He broke his vow of celibacy.

He even used church symbolism to highten the erotic pleasure of his sexual encounters with a young girl, all the while under the pretense that he would minister to her.

These things are wrong primarily because the teaching, training and vows a priest takes explicitly prohibit them.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but it looks like a good one.
