KALAMAZOO, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) – The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Kalamazoo spoke to Newschannel 3 Friday night, after an Archbishop abruptly resigned due to fallout from allegations of covering up sex abuse in a different diocese.
Bishop Paul Bradley tells Newschannel 3 that he didn’t mean to hurt people when appointing Archbishop John Nienstedt in Battle Creek.
He says he agrees with the Archbishop’s decision to leave, and Bishop Bradley hopes he can regain trust in the community.
