As the St. Paul-Minneapolis archdiocese prepares for a new leader, the Vatican-appointed interim administrator has met with a Catholic reform group that the former archbishop had warned his flock against joining.
Archbishop Bernard Hebda, appointed apostolic administrator following the resignation of Archbishop John C. Nienstedt and Auxiliary Bishop Lee A. Piché in June, met Sept. 3 with members of the Catholic Coalition for Church Reform (CCCR) of Minnesota.
“I was pleased to meet with three members of the CCCR and was delighted to learn that they share my interest in engaging in a wide consultation of the faithful in assessing the needs of the archdiocese,” Hebda said in a statement to NCR. “I was also happy to share with them some of the preliminary plans for that consultation, and appreciated their input and offer of collaboration.”
Hebda met with Paula Ruddy, a member of the CCCR board, Michael Bailey and Art Stoeberl.
