Bishop Lennon Receives Vatican Decrees
WTAM
Bishop Richard Lennon of the Cleveland Catholic Diocese has received the official word from the Vatican regarding his orders closing 13 Northeast Ohio churches. Lennon says the Vatican Congregation for Clergy decrees arrived on Wednesday and the process to review these rulings will now be undertaken with his advisors. Last week the Vatican overturned Lennon's ruling to close 13 churches. Lennon originally closed or merged 52 parishes in 2009 because of a decline in parishioners and a shortage of priests.
