Roger Vangheluwe, resigned in April after admitting he abused a boy, later revealed to be his nephew. The publicity surrounding the case prompted more than 200 people to come forward in a matter of days with accounts of abuse by priests, with cases stretching back several decades. In a statement released Saturday, Mr. Vangheluwe again admitted guilt and asked for forgiveness.
