Rome ordered the ‘Vos Estis’ probe after a parishioner alleged Bishop Michael Duca delayed removing a pastor who made sexual advances on him and spoke of prior sexual misconduct involving minors.
A Vatican-authorized investigation is examining how the Baton Rouge bishop handled misconduct allegations against a parish priest.
COMMENTARY: The ordinary meets the divine along the ‘River of the Immaculate Conception.’
Father Mark Beard, who died in a car accident Aug. 2, ‘had a profound effect’ in his 11 years of priesthood.
‘My job is to make sure you know the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God…’
I would ask you to pray for Father Danny, his mother, stepfather, brother, and family,” Bishop Duca wrote.
The bishop says the goal is to support Pope Francis’ desire for “the faithful across the world to rediscover St. Joseph and imitate his life of heroic virtue.”
Catholic priests do not have to break the seal of confession to report the alleged abuse of minors, the Louisiana Supreme Court ruled on Friday.
Father Jeff Bayhi said the ruling protects his right not to disclose information communicated in the confessional, but cautions ‘we’re not out of the woods yet.’
