SYRACUSE — The Vatican says a child molestation claim against a Catholic monsignor and former Bishop Ludden High School principal is “credible,” according to the Syracuse Roman Catholic Diocese.
83-year-old Monsignor Charles Eckermann was removed from ministry in April after the accusations of rape from a former altar boy were considered credible. The alleged rape happened 25 years ago.
The Vatican confirmed the finding today, according to the Syracuse Diocese.
