Bishop Charles J. Chaput is one of five bishops from around the world asked by Pope Benedict XVI to conduct an investigation into the conservative religious order whose U.S. headquarters are in Orange and main seminary is in Cheshire. It is unclear when Chaput will make visits to Connecticut. He is currently recuperating from back surgery and could not be reached for comment Monday. |
